Social media and “bots” didn’t exist in 1985 when Coca Cola did their formulation and branding changes, but it still managed to get amplified by outrage alone. Cracker Barrel had some of the same qualities that Coca Cola did. Loyal custome

That was supposed to be inspired by a supposedly Hollywood legend that claimed that Gene LeBell easily manhandled Bruce Lee on the set of Green Hornet. There is also another story where Gene supposedly choked out Steven Segal (who claimed h

If a SS advance team for Trump’s UN address were following up on a lead that was based off detected unusual cell activity in the area…seems to me like that would have been within their responsibility profile.

The article for me was weird in the sense that it makes the claim that the purpose was of the farms were not necessarily nefarious in a terror sense, but merely criminal. Even suggesting that they could be legitimate (that was a stretch, s

I don’t watch any of these shows, but I have seen videos of the View hosts having to read “Legal Notes” on air, often after commercial breaks to “clarify” or correct things that were just said on the show. Even one video where after the “n

Trump is different. He is the executive branch. He has the ability to EO change without anyone else having to agree before the fact . The FCC operates as a commission. The chairman might set the agenda, but the commission has to agre

Carr is not “the FCC”. He’s the chairman, but he can’t act unilaterally to remove an affiliate broadcast license. So “the FCC” did not apply pressure, the chairman did. He has a lot of influence and can set the agenda for the commission b

I see people making this comparison but as someone who used vista back in the day and someone who has been using all flavors of 26 for over a month now, it really bears no resemblance in UI or UX to vista at all. I kind of think the people

It took a day of getting used to it, but I have had no issues either. Some of the commentary on this thread seems overly critical to me, but you tend to see that on any Apple thread on HN. There’s stuff I like, some stuff I don’t, but in
