I wanted to set up a security camera to watch my pets when I was gone. The only requirements were that it had to have iPhone app, and I wanted the video to stream from my home network and not be funneled through a cloud provider. I couldn&#

But then he would no longer be rich, so this doesn't really change the metaphor.

In the same comment you insult someone's religion, and then tell them that they have to be respectful of others religion (or lack thereof). All they did was offer somebody sincere condolences, and you're just being an asshole.

I had the original Surface Laptop at a previous job. If I remember correctly, I had to RMA it four times for different assorted catastrophic hardware failures. I lined my cubicle wall with their RMA receipts.

I wonder if soaking it in a vacuum pot would help, similar to how a lot of epoxy craft people do it.

It is extremely handy to have a map of airport gates. Airports can be very big, and a gate you're transferring to can be a ~20 minute walk away from your arrival gate. Signage usually is sufficient to get you where you want to go, but

I highly recommend "How to Read Nancy" by Mark Newgarden and Paul Karasik, and "Three Rocks" by Bill Griffith. They're both massively creative and brilliantly constructed books about Nancy and it's creator Erni
