I noticed this at work and in some other contexts last week. We weren't affected by this, but most of the people that brought this up, even technical people (other fields, not security or OS or anything like that), think that this was

It’s not really that simple any more. There’s a magazine in Germany called ÖkoTest and they do a lot of testing of all kind of products. We were shocked at the results for olive oil (and these were all from Europe, Italy and Spain), most of

Not only that, but the thing is that it’s all fake in our industry and the companies that we work on. People seem to be very sensitive today to showing any kind of actual emotion or feelings, be it anger or frustration. Everyone puts on the

This should be labeled as 2017. Anyhow, what funny is: "Owned by BMW, ReachNow is a subscription car rental service that competes with Car2Go". This was 2017. Ever since DriveNow (ReachNow) was merged with Car2Go intro ShareNow, t

That's not necessarily true. The coffee to water ratio for cold brew can be generally lower, and you end up needing more coffee for 2-3 cups. At home, using something like a Hario cold brew bottle, and depending on how much coffee you

They did this to me while I was 6 or 7 and my parents sent me to swimming lessons. Instructor threw me in an olympic sized poll while I had no clue on how to swim. Took me 30 years and a private instructor to get back and actually learn to

What I always wonder is what is the end-goal of the current AI movement? What's the point of it all? I see people talking about being more productive and things like that, but for a lot of people, what does more productive actually mea

Even if you get in, it's scummy. Once you get to a certain age, the payments are crazy. Not to mention people "selling it", like a colleague of mine got scammed into going private, he had some eye issues a couple of years bef
