Thank you for sharing this. Calvin and Hobbes is one of the more influential works of art I've ever held dear to my heart. I love hearing this from him.

You've clearly never had the displeasure of filing a Radar report. It's about as effective to write the report on paper and light it on fire - the chance of it getting actually addressed is about the same.

What absolutely messed me up - and I seriously mean, significant trigger warning if you look this up - was a Reddit video I saw of the collective screams and moans all the trapped people in the high rises…it’s seriously haunting, harrowing;

I wish I could disagree; but this is a close to the truth as could be. :( Sad state of affairs over there.

Huh? Here in Toronto I find Apple Maps much more reliable for the TTC (public transit in Toronto) than Google Maps, and have for a couple years. Google Maps is quite dumb on what routes to take me on, and oblivious to the existence of cer

Lots of frankly silly comments here suggesting parents buy an iPhone without a SIM instead of an iPod Touch? Assuming you buy them new, the cheapest iPhone is $399 vs. the $199 iPod Touch. Buying used is often a mixed bag. An iPad Mini is

Yeah, but you can't use the Watch as a standalone device (something that, as a WatchOS developer, I have always found stupid beyond reason...it should just have limited functionality on its own, including media playback) - if you could

The one my girlfriend has was bundled with a remote temperature sensor. I guess yours didn’t come with one? Either way - she hasn’t installed it and it’s worked fine. It’s possible you had a dud unit?

My girlfriend is a landlady. She had issues with these two particular tenants who seemed to have an obsession with fighting over the temperature dial. It cost her a whole ton in either heating or A/C every month, and would leave the wh

Absolutely not US-specific; happens all the time here in Canada; and it’s certainly happened, even to myself - pretty recently. AppleCare is so much better than it ‘officially’ says it is.

That’s about my experience. It was until I hid from everyone that I was suicidal, refused all help from the broken and abhorrent ‘mental health care system’, stopped seeking treatment - and finally realized that the system is there to put y

Holy living crap. I was all with it up until I saw the actual full HTML example. That is an incredulous amount of overhead for what is essentially one of the most basic and fundamental operations in *GL. Comparing this to Canvas is almost l

Her parents, sorry. Edited. A very similar thing happened to her friend, so it’s a reasonable concern. Her home country is fucked in that regard.

I posted this in another comment - but - here’s the worse thing. It’s not just niche, like a Christian dating app. If I am a Christian - frankly - living in North America - I’ve got nothing to hide to anyone, mostly. I probably came from a

As a lesbian - this is terrifying. Not for myself - because I’m out - but because the fact that I am out would potentially be for sale, and - for instance - my primary partner - isn’t. She comes from such a traditional family, and her home

I cannot use Linux or BSD, as - for instance - I am an almost 20-year daily user of Logic Pro. I’d lose access to 20 or so years of musical projects, and I’d have to get used to some completely new DAW, none of which appeal to me. I also d

I tried this. It’s unfortunately particularly unimpressive. There’s a total of 8 samples, they’re all just nature samples - it’s a basic subtractive synth, it did work ‘out of the box’ in Logic; that’s kinda my whole review. It’s nothing I
