Did you notice a difference? We have a small office with two people, multiple PCs, printer, etc. It gets warm and stuffy regardless of the season and climate control, and I have trouble focusing especially in the afternoon. I'm thinkin

Yes - such a slow rise can be managed in developed nations, along with some erosion. The major issue will be storm surges and other events.

Padding and pointless busywork are a common complaint in video games. Personally I'd rather they cut the fat and leave the experience shorter but more striking and memorable. A lot of TV shows have the same issue, Netflix originals (I&

Speaking of corporations: I was a teenager in the mid-90s and one thing that has stuck in my memory is a Coca-Cola truck. It had a website address on it. I'd been using the internet for a few years, but had never seen that happen befor

I understand your point but if true, doesn't it mean it's a proven business model with a ready market that can be tapped into by someone else? The acquire and kill model should only really work when there's a barrier to entry

> mayonnaise Never tried that. My ideal is bechamel sauce with cheese on top - shredded for the added surface area when browning. This is based on a typical croque monsieur recipe. It's very easy to make bechamel in about 10 minutes

I enjoyed that book. I think another key point is it wasn't just uprisings, back in the day people literally fled to the hills out of the city to avoid their debts. Not only did this lead to bands of outlaws roaming the countryside (an

It could be the REM rebound effect as mentioned here: https://podcastnotes.org/2018/04/29/why-we-sleep/ I'm working my way through the book, very interesting stuff.

I wish this worked for me. When I take it, I definitely feel more sleepy, but that's not my issue. My issue is an active (maybe even anxious) mind that will not stop wandering, worrying, and obsessing. Sleepy or not, it has to run its

The key difference being they were usually banning accounts, not people. Many platforms are now linked to a real world identity, which I guess is unavoidable if you want to monetize your persona/face on YouTube/Facebook/Patre

A significant number of ebooks I buy for Kindle seem to be poor OCR jobs, lacking periods and other punctuation and even making incorrect letter substitutions when the font has ligatures. It does not make them unreadable, but makes the expe

In addition to the other replies, I suppose it also removes some of the incentive for foul play if I want to use a copyrighted work and don't want to wait for a natural death.

They are very attractive to small businesses who don't even know Mandrill exists. Relatively well known brand, quirky marketing, good integration with other sites/apps, and free up to 2,000 subscribers (which many small businesses

I agree, the PDF spec is great, and very easy to understand (if slow to wade through). The hardest parts are when you have to duck out to read another spec for a contained format like TrueType. Regarding Reader, I work with PDFs a lot, and

I'm not sure if or when it was fixed but Witcher 3 had a lot of minor bugs that annoyed me and reminded me of mid-90s PC RPG gaming. Unclickable chests, uncompletable quests (because an item did not drop, or an NPC died instantly), and

There's a name I only just discovered! A friend had a Nancy Silverton pizza while in LA a couple of months ago and raved about it (she usually doesn't rate pizza highly for some strange reason), so we followed her recipe for pizza

There's also the question of a more manual implementation, rather than a self-initiated statement. If someone just so happens to ask me on Twitter each day if I received an order, and I say no, but on day 99 I don't reply or say &
