Pardon my white male patriarchal cishet privilege here, but... what's so "racist" about this email? If anything his criticism is on white fans for being afraid of being in a majority-black crowd. It all appears to me to be as

So what you're saying is that instead of selling a janky house for $2M, what's really being sold here is a plot of land for $2M, with a fire-damaged house on it that you will have to pay even more money to renovate or raze and reb

DIY is still a pretty big pain, I've tried several different kinds from those pages. I have to give Mathmos and/or Lava-Lite credit, they /do/ have the chemistry down pretty well. The commercial ones are far more reliabl

I've had a rough design for something like this in my notes for a while now, under the heading "what do to when you can't buy incandescent bulbs anymore?" It's a serious concern for me as my collection of 30 or so L

Running that access point at home, or somewhere else, allows you to StreetPass with people who pass Nintendo Zones all over the place. If you live in a very rural area (like I do) or you don't go to many places where you can get other

You loaded a first-release beta build of iOS, weren't impressed with the volume of changes to the OS, even though most of the "new" features were disabled in the first releases, then, disillusioned, abandoned the platform for

Actually, I don't consider myself agnostic at all. I firmly believe in the existence of some incarnation of a deity, be it a God, Superior Intellect, Grand Architect, or whatever else you want to call Him/Her/It/Them. Ju

I know a lot of very religious people. I also know a lot of atheists. My personal religious beliefs put me squarely in neither camp - I'm not secular enough for the atheists, and I'm not religious enough for evangelicals. I can sa

I remember test driving an Oldsmobile in the late 80s that had a HUD. The display was outside of the driver's immediate center of vision so it didn't obstruct the roadway, but it was visible without having to look away from the ro

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you in the least. Lawyering up may be the right thing to do, but going after a developer cloning apps for the in-app ad revenue isn't usually worth the effort. The original post had the distinct smell

The universal disdain for child pornography allows society and law enforcement to push the boundaries of law enforcement in a way that will be universally agreed with. What worries me is that once these boundaries are crossed for one very i

That's a service of one of the big credit reporting companies - Experian I think, or maybe Equifax. Heck, maybe both. UPS doesn't know this data about you, the verification service pulls it from your credit file to determine if yo
