I moved to dvorak to help with my RSI. I don't know if it actually helped (it's been decades since I used QWERTY on a keyboard for more than a minute), but typing speed was irrelevant to me.

Especially all these new 5-over-1 complexes that are marketed as "luxury" these days. They're hardly luxury, and in 20 years time, they're just going to be mid-class apartments.

Holy crap, I went through his likes today, and he's just a fucking awful person. I should probably get off hacker news and stop supporting this guy's company.

I think he un-retweeted it, and then re-tweeted someone else still blaming it on "lawlessness".

My group were very casual gamers and I destroyed the group by making a hail-mary trade. It was my turn and it was clear that one person would win this round if no one won before him. So I made a hail-mary trade with someone else that gave m

It's not about facilities that don't need it (though I'd argue all facilities need it), it's about abusing specific details like the height of signage to extort money.( https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/ne
