Discord can definitely do some strange things to your machine. I can't play DayZ when it's open, the game will not connect to any servers and errors out with this "player auth login state" message. I thought it was my

I often wonder if PPP comparisons are relevant anymore. What is the significance that you could buy 10 blenders in 2022 with $1 40 years ago in 1982? I guess its meaningful because you didn't have the buy a new blender every few year

One thing that could cause issues is the rising cost of paying back Dollar denominated debts. Like if I was a Japanese company that issued bonds denominated in Dollars. I have to use Yen* to buy those Dollars to pay it back. Now it takes

Straight out of GATTACA. I cringed pretty hard when the image at the top loaded; was not expecting this kind of story, was expecting a missive on the song from the 90s. Also, this story reminds me of a passage, among many, from the Deus Ex

I don't think he was necessarily wrong with The End Of History, (un)-ironically historical events weren't on his side. What would have replaced "The War On Terror" if 9/11 doesn't happen? What does China look

I did something similar about ~18 months ago; brought up the wrong window and I deleted a table at the bottom of the relationship hierarchy (via the SQL Server Management Studio GUI no less, so I had to click through). Half a second later
