   "Natural flavors" is in seltzer water with 0 sugar. It is also advertised to have "no artificial sweeteners", which I realize might be bending the truth somehow, but I'm pretty sure food and drink companies can&#x27

   I've never been able to get a real answer: does sparkling water hydrate you the same way flat water does? Also if there are "natural flavors" in the sparking water, how does that affect hydration. I personally don't mind

    After so many hours gaming, I can no longer use keyboards without the left ctrl key under my left palm. It feels so foreign I can barely type. I recently discovered this playing around with some older keyboards with the larger bezels.

    Thought experiment: a scrappy startup is struggling to stay profitable, they literally (and not figuratively) can't afford their developers leaving for extended amounts of time and they are very upfront about this in interviews. Are th

    Untrue. People still buy graphics cards to mine Crypto because, even though they can't compete with dedicated mining rigs/cards, they are still leaps and bounds better than a CPU, and can be resold for nearly the price they were b

    My problem is fitting hour long code screens in between 9-5. I don’t want to take a day off work, but also can’t exactly do it at work... what are you supposed to do when you need to take one of these for every company you interview with?

    Microsoft gets to harvest your data more easily, has a "feature" that can "rival" Siri, and artificially increases Bing's marketshare in terms of total number of searches. Win-win-win for MS. That said, I have no id

    I agree with this for the most part, but The Big Bang Theory is a bad example imo. It is still laughing at geeks, not with them. I think that's why it rubs a lot of people (myself included) the wrong way.
