Ergo users are never going to be happy. I'd complain about the lack of thumb keys, and then the flatness, and suddenly we're talking about a completely different keyboard.

Does a Mac even recognize the screenshot button? I take lots of screenshots and videos and add them to PRs, which clearly communicate what has changed.

Probably because you need separation from the culture to fully evaluate and appreciate it. If they interviewed someone from Japan, that person would probably complain about how un-livable Japan has become. Like the subway trains are always

Google specifically has a track record. You could have made the same argument about social media (Google+) a decade ago.

If you did exercise 1 hour a day for 6 days a week, you'd probably be well above the average exercise time for normal adults.

If we were in a total war, we'd convert every car, glass, microchip, and aircraft factory to a weapons factory, as well as a draft. But the US is convinced it can fight overseas wars without disturbing the civilian manufacturing indust

I was killing a lot of LEDs in recessed cans. I replaced them with integrated retrofits, which aren't designed around a bulb shape that fries its own electronics, and aren't made as cheaply as possible. Here's a nice dim-to-w

Usually the only people who have the free time to go to these meetings are retirees, it's not matching the demographics of the neighborhood.

I recently got a new car, and my last one was 24 years old. It had a tape deck. All these "convenience" features are annoying as hell. It reminds me of the old days of pop-up ads and no ad-blockers. There's random beeping and

Wine also seems like it's one of the hardest alcoholic items to sell. There's lots of it but people who don't know wine struggle to learn and understand the differences. There are tons of indistinguishable brands. Wine is ass

UV umbrellas should be woven tighter to block out more sunlight, but even a non-UV umbrella will block a significant amount of sunlight. I bought one of those UV-C detection cards that also detect UV-A and UV-B. Both a UV umbrella and a non

This is also how run clubs, church groups, dinner parties, and a lot of other activities actually work. The specified activity is followed by unstructured hanging out where you're expected to be open and present. But a lot of people vi

I don't think judges and warrants are involved in these swatting incidents. The whole point of swatting is to make up a dangerous scenario where the threat to life is so high and immediate that the police are allowed to forgo many proc

It depends on the type of establishment. A full service restaurant where you are directed to a table, someone takes your order, then brings food to you, and then you pay would require a tip, because that is considered service. A counter ser
