There's probably a lot of context missing here. Take the London marathon for example. Anyone can take part, but only a few people are allowed to start at the front. Runners must achieve a certain time at other accredited marathons to b

For a bit of fun, I've built a (poor) Wordle solution stack generator. It just creates a solution stack from green, yellow and black tiles so that lazy people can copy and paste and keep up with the wordling Joneses. I really need to w

Great idea (despite the dubious legality). Perhaps a section on what can be done with the data? Your potential clients are probably the type of users who don't know why they'd need such a tool. And an explanation of the sentimen

I was trying to regenerate my solution stack from my phone to the computer for sharing on Slack. It occurred to me that an auto generator would be fun, then thought to go the whole way. So you can join in with trendy wordle solution posting

I have to disagree. It's tempting to reduce a language to just a means of communication, but it's one of the things that make us human. The language you speak when you grow up forms your cultural identity. I'm not sure which

I immediately thought of this as well. Great minds etc.

Interesting! What is your first language? Do you speak any others? Was learning English a natural part of growing up, or was it formally taught to you?

Yes, I don't think that the answer to too much technology is more technology.

AS others have said, they seem lazy as they've been copied ad nauseam in the 40 years since the movie. I believe that Airplane! was the first zany comedy containing these ridiculous types of jokes. Many movies have followed and tried t

"Get hired" are you offering something beyond formatting a resume? Is this strictly a paid-for resume formatter?
