Maybe I have a different use case, but I feel like Windows 10 is mostly ok about this. I actually like being able to just log in to my Microsoft account in order to bypass having to find where I put the authorization key. Once the OS is aut

I actively avoid Twitter, but still get force fed Twitter opinions via most news websites. I wish they would stop producing headlines about the latest "backlash" or "outrage" on there.

The thing that most irritates me about those sites is the video box about halfway down the page that becomes sticky for a bit after you pass it on mobile. I have to scroll down until it goes away, then slowly scroll back up until just befor

Anytime I want to spend time in DC, I definitely just drive to Greenbelt, park, and take the metro to whatever part of the city I’m trying to go to. It’s a sanity-saver over trying to find parking.

On the page in Goodnight Moon where the mouse is peeking out from behind the bowl full of mush, our 3-year old has started shouting at it "NO NO YOUNG MOUSE, GET AWAY FROM MY MUSH!!!" Makes me laugh every time.

I just found this out the hard way. After playing acoustic for ~15 years, I decided my birthday this year was the time to join the world of electric guitars. I joined several guitar related FB groups, expecting them to be as civil as the ta

Oh yes, if you're going to expand on this, it would be great to include basically the range of games you typically see played at a local game store. This would span card games, board games, RPGs, and tabletop miniatures games. There&#x

I would guess, admittedly with no evidence, that for this particular job, Amazon does not have to worry about posting high numbers for retention. It’s a job without a ton of skill barriers to entry, so they don’t have to be deeply concerned

Yes, I spend at least the last hour before bed reading. I alternate every other book fiction and non-fiction. I actually just finished the latest Stormlight book and loved it. Currently re-reading Stalingrad by Anthony Beevor.

Is there some mute button I'm missing? I've tried with both Chrome and Edge to play the pre-recorded riffs for a few different pedals and am not getting any sound. I verified I have volume on my end with a youtube video.
