Can someone please explain why NJ is such a fucked state? Is it just because of the population density, is it the years of government corruption? I just don't get how cost of living here is so nuts and how our economy feels so..."

"The demand for ‘perfect’ fruit and veg means much is discarded, damaging the climate and leaving people hungry" I mean, you can make a case for damaging the environment, but the thrown away food is hardly the reason people are hu

It's the social aspect and the act of "dude there's a Snorlax at the basketball court let's go" and getting a group of your friends to go, then as you show up you see other people doing the same thing. It's an

So is the implication is that if $SaturdayNightLiveRipoff that just started filming this year decides to do something similar, they don't get the same leniency simply because they're new?

Even between wifi at home and work, streaming Spotify while driving and miscellaneous app usage off wifi gets me to basically 4GB a month. I can keep downloading more songs since I'm on Premium, but I think even with that I still activ

Access Web Apps, on the other hand, are a nightmare. So many stripped features compared to what the Desktop version can do, it was incredibly frustrating to use.

And you legitimately believe that someone who doesn't support Trump doesn't care about the future of our country? You're throwing around an ideal that doesn't really have a black and white definition as a metric to creat

Cool, I'll have to look into both! Huawei feels like an "Oh, right, of course" answer but Polycom doesn't ring any bells. Interesting observation on the soft phones trend, though. In my work environment our Cisco phones

Thanks for the link! I'm low on the totem pole with these sort of decisions, but I'll be sure to keep this bookmarked for any future meeting or opportunity to pivot away from Cisco :)

While things like Jabber have an obvious alternative (i.e. Slack), who can compete with Cisco in terms of their desk phones and meeting room equipment? I only ask because their hardware is so ingrained in the company I work for that even if
