There's a distinction between a music buff and an audio buff. If you want to be a music buff, my suggestion is to learn how to play an instrument. This will give you the understanding to appreciate music; you can't truly under

Urbanite restaurant-goers aren’t so price sensitive that they can’t handle a price increase from $20 to $22. I think they’re doing it this way so that if it doesn’t work out, they already have the previous infrastructure in place to return

This is very cool! Do you think you could add a feature to move around npc/character pieces? Even if they were just coloured blocks, that's all I need now to run a basic DnD session. Add some dice too and I can easily run a Zoom D

Normal banks do this too, it’s not that profitable. We mine your credit card history and form partnerships with companies that appear on a lot of people’s statements. We send you our customers, you advertise our credit cards, win-win!

Their banking executives are quitting. I’m assuming that’s because they’re butting heads with the tech guys who think “a bank is just a type of software company”.

Perhaps you missed where the house impeached Trump and the senate fully acquitted him. The Republican party have shown that they are fully onboard with everything Trump is doing. Everyone in power absolutely is and will be complicit.
