Dog owner here. Can confirm. Everyday at his walking time, my dog starts poking me, then barking, then the destructive behavior kicks in if I don't do my job. After his exercise, he's a good boy for the rest of the day.

We are guinea pigs in a worldwide experiment on microplastics, and I fear it will turn out worse for us than our grandparents with asbestos. However, you're not powerless. Personally, cook your food in metal and try to drink out of gla

It's not always about performance. Years ago while traveling I installed Linux to a flash drive to carry my entire OS, apps, and data with me. While I did backup often, I was well aware of the danger that excessive write wear posed in

Can speak for OS X, but I dual booted Win 7 with swap disabled on my first machine with a SSD. Windows would just kill the Chrome tab that was eating all my Ram and I'd move right along. Linux locks up and is totally unresponsive even

I actually used to reuse single use bags to line all of the trash cans in my house. Now that my town banned free ones, my family has been trained to reuse. Only now I'm buying disposable trash bags and only using them once. Fairly sure

Yes, I'd imagine so in properly capped and lined landfills. But those are on their way out as our landfills are filling up up[1] faster than new ones built. More and more towns are moving to incineration. [1] https://www.glo

No, Windows did not eat your RAM. Your "guess" would be wrong. I've installed Win 10 to 1GB VM machines many times. The OS itself takes a little over 512 of RAM in this scenario. No swapping at all if your not using any apps

What's the deal with the sketchy "PDF viewer" that they tried to force Chrome users to install? This is an example where a site actually worked better in Firefox and Edge.
