Sadly that's not an email client, but rather a Gmail client.

Expansion cards = square dongles with USB-C connectors that plug into the frame.

My kids already invented that. If you want theirs, come ask. Includes unlimited eye rolls and muttering.

Shitdrawer is the Amazon Glacier of Shitbowl. Easy to throw stuff in, generally it stays there very long term.

Amongst rich people with Apple Watches, maybe.

I have such good memories of watching this now and then on rainy days in elementary school. Always loved it. Paddle to the Sea was another one we saw often. My wife bought me The Railrodder on VHS many years ago and I still have it. First t

Possible that your provider has blocked SMS from Amazon? We (not Amazon...I don't work there) also see users of our service who have sent "STOP" to our SMS number occasionally and then complain we never send them 2FA codes. I

Cordless phones were more "fun" to scan since it was generally your neighbours you heard just because of the range of those things. Also baby monitors were (and probably still are) wide open. Literally a 24/7 mic broadcasting

Great advice, but I'd add one thing - the company itself, the leadership, etc. also has to give a shit at the same level as its people. These Googlers that work 11-4 probably either used to give a shit, or still give a shit, but when y

The message history is all there, held hostage by Slack. Clearly it's not a burden for them to store it or they would simply delete everything past 10,000 messages rather than still storing it and reminding me frequently that they have

They won't say it in a way that makes sense because then users will a) go do just what was suggested and then cancel, or b) do a) and also complain that there isn't a way to easily do that.

Yes. And go back and fix your typos.

The more of these types of posts and books I read, the more depressed I become. Work feels very pointless, especially when I start noticing the "bullshit" jobs around me and just how much of my day is spent tending to tasks create

I have never in my entire life waited longer than five minutes to vote in any election in a municipal, provincial or federal election. That includes early voting or election day voting. I walk over to a school near my house (or community ce

2.5 hours in and still "investigating". No new updates for the moment as we're continuing to investigate. Customers may notice that other functionality, such as Search, is also affected. Oct 5, 12:40 PM EDT

Indeed. For those with an aggressive form of the disease, I suspect they might be willing to try it and trade MS symptoms for something else at least for a time. Still this is providing some hope that it's at least possible to reverse

Thanks! Glad you like the interface. We work hard to make it simple and also still powerful and easy to use.

That's good advice. If you want a domain, spend the $15 and get it. I can personally guarantee Hover doesn't do anything with domain search data (I'm the PM so I would know :P). GoDaddy likely doesn't either and it was p

Appreciate it! I can personally state for the record we don't do what is alleged. I also seriously doubt GoDaddy does it.

You contribute funds to a company that works on safety initiatives, then claim you prevented an accident that offsets the one you had.

Also .hotel and .hotels. And .photo and .photos (and .photography). Plus .ink and .inc. And many more "confusingly similar" despite ICANN rules that were supposed to prevent that. Money talks.

Put Fortnite into a box and put it on the shelf at a store which will take 30% in margin on that sale (probably more). Should that store also be forced to allow buyers to purchase it off their store shelf through a payment to someone else?

One of our two kids is 17 with special needs. I hope she will be able to attend in-person, daily. Her class sizes are already small and online learning isn't really effective as it's a modified, non-academic program she is in. The

Obvious question: If the ambient temperature affects the outcome of the treatment for mice, then is that also the case for humans?

Slack is worse. If you don't pay, not only do they not give you access to >10k messages, but they still store those messages and don't allow you to do things like delete them.

Memories of the first few Space Shuttle launches. I was lucky enough to see STS-3 from Jetty Park when I was 12. Today I'll watch from home on YouTube with my own kids (16 and 17).
