Honestly, it's not hard. Just don't design everything around color. On ticket to ride, the grey lines ones have a dot or shape in the middle whereas the black ones do not. I can see that dot, but it's small. If it was larger

You may appreciate this: https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/ If you run firefox mobile, you can install it along with uBlock Origin and the world wide web becomes a pretty great place again.

This is the first time I have seen this. Really scary if that is what ended up being the cause. Won't bode well for Boeing.

I mean, playing board games is kind of a bitch sometimes as well. I was trying to play Ticket to Ride on Monday and that was exciting. Good thing I chose this in the same way people choose not to eat certain foods, right?

Why? Why wreck a good thing so no one else can enjoy it? The torrent protocol is already there. Don't put that cost on the Mozilla Org.

Nope, Google Maps is sticky. I've tried alternatives and just haven't had any luck. OsmAnd (Open Street Maps on Android) is good for plenty, but not driving.

I personally take the route of training the algorithms poorly. It wants me to select streetlights? Fine, I'll pick all but one streetlight and maybe even a tree. Do I have to click more boxes because of this? For sure. Is it worth it?

I don't know what they're going on about. BT is fantastic.

Related anecdote: I moved to a small town in the West Midlands in the UK from Barcelona last year. One of the things I first noticed was an absence of nature sounds (but you can always hear a motorway, no matter how far you walk :( ). This

I don't know if air travel is the best example - more and more people travel by air, and sure, there is the risk of death, but per mile traveled, it is by far the safest means of transport.

Wikipedia would make this list as well.

It's amazing the marketing team at Lufthansa let this one slide. The $2300 they may possibly gain is absolutely nothing compared to the terrible press they're getting/going to get if they win. People don't love airlines

I always try and click one or two extra boxes that are wrong. Sure I sometimes have to go through and confirm extra images, but you know what? I don't work for free and so I'm doing my small part to bugger up Google's data se

Just a heads up, it also includes blocking timers ringing set on DDG and Google. I found that out the hard way with over-hard boiled eggs two days in a row.

I was annoyed about the recommending plugins thing as well. It's quick to turn off if that's any help.

We're on economy9 in Warwick. As I understand it, the landlord added it fairly recently (within the past decade).

From my observations in the past two years living in Europe as a Canadian, it almost feels like a hopelessness due to the lack of social mobility here that causes those things.

Phone makers need something new to justify as a new feature to sell those $1000 phones. 'LTE generation 4.3' just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Interesting that 4WD is taxed differently. Is this due to fuel consumption reasons? On your last point, are truck canopies not common in Norway? Something like this: https://canopy-world.com/

You can get a house appraised for around $1200 CAD in the town I used to work in real estate in. Pay that instead.

It's nice to see such a positive outlook on the city and a reminder to myself that there is a reason there are so many people in the world who would love to live there. I moved to the UK from Canada last fall with my wife and we'

Person here. Very happy indeed. I discovered Pocket as a result of it being integrated and have been a very happy user ever since.

I mean, with something like PurifyCSS or some other 'css tree shaker', something like this is perfect. On an (albeit fairly simple) app that I'm building, my CSS file, using Tailwind, is 6.1kb gziped. I think that's pret
