   My guess is that they've determined what that breaking point is and have optimized for it.

   I'm reminded of the story of the girl who survived, somehow, a fall from a plane in the Amazon while strapped in to her seat. The theory is that the row seats spun like one of those seed pods and slowed her down when hitting some trees

   Is it ok to mock people who die from AIDS now? (this is intended as sarcasm to point out the morality of mocking people who die from a preventable disease)

   It's annoying that the original Latin is not provided. I'd love to know the original words used for some of these terms (such as buggering). EDIT: It looks like this link is just a marketing site for a jewellery store. The origina

    Depends on the state. Some are more business friendly than others. Michigan's LLC annual fee is $25. Arizona has a one-time LLC formation fee of $50 and no annual fees or filings. Each state is different.

    I don’t think any of those things have anything to do with net neutrality.

    Wow, that brings back some memories. I built one of those too. It was a crystal radio with no need for batteries. I used that little radio for years to listen in bed until I fell asleep.

    The indictment is linked at the bottom of the page and has interesting technical details. Even more interesting is the question of how the named individuals were identified, which is not addressed in the indictment. The indictment also incl

    If you settle, the complaint and other docket records are public record. There are sites that now publish lots of court records, so just googling a name may bring up lawsuits filed by that person. You don’t need to google specifically for c

    Also consider this: if you do sue, any future potential employer who googles your name will see the lawsuit. This will dramatically reduce your chances of getting future jobs.

    One wonders if they were auditing the numbers of actual registered voters vs those actually voting and came up with numbers that were wonky. https://twitter.com/JTHVerhovek/status/1224550235881517056?s... So who i

    I recently switched to an iPhone from android. Brave seems like the only browser that allows me to block ads without some sort of external plug-in app. I miss having ublock on iOS. But brave seems to do the trick for me and its place.

    This is why direct primary care is becoming a thing. Doctors are opting out of the insurance system in order to see fewer patients and reduce overhead. For $50-$75 a month, you get unlimited access to your physician, including via video cal
