I read the blog post and wasn't able to figure out if this would break userChrome.css. I'm not that weird about change and normally accept it and end up not caring. But I have tried to get used to tabs on top and it just isn'

All the testimonials are of incredibly fantastic looking people. It almost feels like a crypto ICO were the CTO was just a random picture from Instagram. Feels fake or maybe you just tossed up people you found attractive that were actual cl

You should check out the "flow" to place an ad on Ravelry. I looked into placing a ad for my woodworking stuff and figured my ad would not get approved so I stopped. As a person that generally hates ads I am alright with this. I m

The NYAG doesn't generally go after people just to see what happens. They have a reason to think this is a case that needs investigation that might not be public.

I have incurred over a million dollars in medical bills since Sept, 24, 2018. I get a pembro drip that is 28K every three weeks. And a CT scan every few months, 45 treatments of radiation.. 10K a pop on average. Feeding tube insertion. 40K.

Time to get gross here. I have been dealing with neck/mouth cancer for a while and using a feeding tube for about half of my calories. My movements, depending on the alignment of the stars resemble the mortar used to join cinder blocks

I'm not really excited about technology anymore. But I found this absolutely amazing. The people that made the jankey whale pop out of the floor and raised billions have nothing on this. I'm not joking about how cool I think this

I have signed up for trials just because I wanted to grab a certain clip. And while I was in there I would download as much as I can and then cancel. And there is also that once you are done watching the last thing you want to do is watch m

I just use the default. We have Sonos stuff too and it works without doing anything special.

I use a pihole at home too. It is funny since I have gotten a few texts from my roommates about their phones being infected when they aren't connected to the wifi here. They think it is a virus and I have to tell them that is what the

Back in the IE 6 days I was in charge of fixing my families computers, and my family's friends computers. I was dealing with a few things a week, some requiring a full re-install. This was back in the early 2000's. Eventually I sn

And yeah, that is why I said Apple gets some blame for choosing a horrible bank to partner with. But my point is that Apple doesn't have some fancy algorithm deciding females are 1/10th a person. Goldman does..

Isn't it Goldman loaning the line of credit? I'm not sure why Apple is getting the flack here. Apple is essentially a dumb middleman that shouldn't care about your credit rating since they have nothing to lose if you default

When Chrome came out I didn't have the problem with Google I have now. But I could never switch to Chrome because I hate having the tabs above the address bar. At least with Firefox I could tweak userChrome.css to keep tabs right above

This always differs by people. I thought Samsung pretty clearly swiped the Apple look with the early versions of Android. Even beyond the rounded corners. Sure, it isn't a pixel perfect copy. But I do think inspiration was drawn, even

I graduated high school in 1996. I really wanted a computer. This was around the time where there were Power Computing clones that were licensed from Apple. But my buddy just started college at the University of Oregon. They had a computing

You should have seen my last apartment. Single-pane windows that dripped, hot water heater from the early 80's, and pretty much zero insulation. It does seem like money that could be spent making dwellings more energy efficient. If you

Last year I was diagnosed with neck/mouth cancer. I did three months of radiation and chemo and it cleared it up. Then two months later I went in for a PET scan and the cancer had spread to my liver. So more ration for that. Then six m

I tried to use DDG so hard. Changed my browser, changed my phone. I have pretty much gotten away from Google for everything except Youtube. I ended up using !G around 25% of the time and got tired of it. So I ended up switching to Ecosia wh

I consider both companies untrustworthy. I was using a example of a thing nearly everyone shouldn't trust. I could have used Google, Apple, USPS as examples too.
