It’s literally a new development. Someone went out and turned some raw land into rental houses. If they had left it as raw land, there also would have been no change in supply of houses to buy. Instead, now they’ve created a slight reduct

Other than security-related changes, as a user, I find macOS to be quite generous about its evolution, supporting deprecated APIs for many years, etc. SIP and the transition to a read-only system volume are the only two things that I rememb

I was partially (largely?) one of those other kids. Honestly, I loved it and, though it wasn’t perfect, I definitely wouldn’t re-roll my childhood if given the chance. Later in life, I managed to catch up in dating and other aspects, but ke

When our old dishwasher gave up, I got a mid-range Bosch dishwasher. I never thought I’d catch feelings for an appliance, but this thing is awesome. Dishes come out squeaky clean and nearly dry just from the temps. Glasses are spotless. Thi

I got a review with that exact method and amount of (false) precision in an engineering team that was under 30 total people. To that boss’ credit, the text feedback was actually useful, but the numeric scores were comical.
