What's with the trend of suffixing every world with "-oholic" then-a-days, to characterize how too much of a thing can be bad? Language changes. We used to make up words like "shopaholic". Now we might say "t

Depends on your goals. If you are just looking for calories, you probably can't beat potatoes. You can grow 100lbs of potatoes in a 4ft x 4ft plot. Maybe even more than that. If you're looking at maximizing nutritional value, s

At least in gay culture, power bottom has a pretty specific meaning. I imagine "for the people" is referencing socialist leanings. Admittedly, it could mean many things. But it pushes my mind towards fully automated gay space co

I agree that Google is at fault here for failing Firefox. But Firefox is guilty of failing its users. Why should the functioning of a browser be dependent on telemetry working? It sounds like if there is high enough latency in their tele
