I get reactions too, it's usually "meh". Then again, I live in an area where you're more likely to catch flak for drinking then not.

I've been told that card processors will get charged more going forward if they don't implement the chips, or for non-chip transactions because of the added risk involved. That should help speed up the transition or at least activ

The default sub-reddit's turn into what happens when you have a site populated mostly by the lowest common denominator and posts that appeal to the same. Once it became mainstream the defaults just fell into an Eternal September cycle

Co-lo offices might be a decent compromise for those situations, but yeah its not for everyone.

I did, a bus in my city takes an 2-3 hours just to travel 30 miles, I would need to catch a bus at the exact right time, travel to the center of downtown, about an hour because multiple stops on the way, wait 30 minutes to an hour for the i

There are at least 2-3 hurricanes hitting the US coast a year, and continues to increase as climate change becomes more prevalent. The U.S not driving won't make much of a dent in climate change, not with China and other industrializin

Individually though we have little choice, fact of the matter is I live 30 miles from where I work. I can't afford to live close enough to walk, they demand I be in the office almost every day. I would love to reduce my dependence on a

I listen to some podcasts and get some NPR news through Alexa daily. This is actually my preferred method for getting the news, although I don't donate or hear the campaign drives, but a donate/subscribe button on Amazon for the f

That's because you have no room for cheap housing to exist on, and cheap/low quality houses are usually built where the land is cheap. Simply put, land is at such a high demand or premium there, and its rare to see a situation whe

Yeah, I was being extremely optimistic. I'd live in the mountains, miles from anyone, and work remote if I thought I could get decent broadband and find a company that was okay with me working 100% remote. Finding the job is the easier

^This. Still though, even in places like Charlotte and Raleigh, you see the same thing, just to a lesser degree and you see a great deal of gentrification of the smaller outside towns (Cary/Hillsborough/Mooresville) and nearby cit

As with all things real estate, proximity and travel times are key. You're almost always paying for location. It's nothing to get a large newly built 5 bedroom house in an extremely rural area for $200k, or rent a small house for

I think they're trying to restart Exotic Liability, that was good back when it was running. I loved the rants. There are a few others out there but none worth mentioning.

Yeah, I've accepted that, and for the most part, usually something new comes along and replaces it. The trick is to find where people went after X site went to crap. Sometimes though, a suitable replacement doesn't always crop up.

This seems like the story of every great Internet site, ever. It's great until the lowest common denominator finds it then it goes to crap. Reddit is only spared because you can unsubscribe from default subreddit's and find more n

See, I wouldn't leave a gun in a bag, I'd always have it on my person. Someone can snatch or go through my bag, or my bag might not be nearby. I see that as kind of irresponsible handling.

It's good news for both, it doesn't mean it's a bad assumption just because it might benefit more than one demographic. It just comes off as smarmy with the whole "As a ____, I feel". That line always comes off as c
