I eat eggs from my parents chickens for my whole live. Some of the eggs have dirt and shit on them, but I don't think I ever cleaned an egg before I opened it. I am still alive and healthy :)

I have a rather cheap monitor (as many other people probably have) and I can barely make out the grip of the scrollbars when I don't sit straight in front of the display. What about people with bad eye sight or colour-blindness? I am s

Rant: Everyone who has put at least a little bit of thought into UI design knew from the beginning that flat design is bad. But no, it is 2019 and we still have scrollbars and buttons that are barely visible. Just because Google and Microso
