I had my admin enable the IRC gateway and I just use that now. Uploaded files are a little awkward (but that's mostly because I have to switch between multiple google enterprise accounts during the course of a day). Put the 'SLACK

What's to stop the FDA enforcing 'patents' and market exclusivity in their approval process? I.e. Instead of approving Chemical-X, approve only DrugCorp brand Chemical-X? Possibly with some stipulation that the first company

While Google might be complacent. I don't know of a single Google product that I use that has a reasonable alternative. And that's not to say I've tried. I had a blackberry, used Fastmail.fm, switched to Firefox. Just none of

Recently spent over 48 hours in the wonderful company of Cathay Pacific. Their announcements (and especially their English announcements) are always a quiet high-speed mumble. 10/10 would (try to) listen to them again. Everything else

Use diminishes value. Having tenants requires work, adds cost, and might just not be worth your time. You might just want a house for a weekend, and not want plebs messing your shit up. And it probably has some degree of truth, You can stan

I've been using the Filco Minila Air for a while now. It's /kinda/ the same, in that it allows you to pair it with 3 devices. It fails in regards to having a physical switch for selecting devices. Instead it'll conn
