You have an infinitely greater number of options for strength and cardio training at a gym than just a stationary bike.

This is just anecdotal but I remember when I was growing up there were always a few kids in school who had extremely restrictive parents like this (strictly controlled their TV, phone, time with friends, searched their rooms, etc.) On the s

I have no idea what prompted this tweet to justify his presence at this conference, but I'm guessing some of the Twitterati have their pitchforks out and smell blood in the water. For anybody who cares about this sort of drama, I think

This is not my experience at all. I have noticed some FPS drops when using the 'ultrahand' to move many objects around, but other than that I've been pretty impressed with the performance. It still blows my mind that I can wa

In Canada's capital Ottawa, this has been pushed for by the municipal government. Office workers downtown were what kept most of the overpriced, mediocre, restaurants, franchises and coffee shops afloat. These places are often the only

Nostalgia is a funny beast. Your comment holds true for me but the wonder was with the original NES Legend of Zelda and I felt nothing for Ocarina/Majora's Mask. Interestingly, Breath of the Wild is the first modern game I can rem

I find it odd this article doesn't provide any examples of low and high trust societies.

There is no local law in Vietnam that says "you must allow the state's army of troll bots to harass anyone in the world that speaks Vietnamese". Facebook isn't complying with any local law here, and the behaviour in ques

So Facebook is complicit in allowing its platform to be weaponized by the state against all speakers of Vietnamese (in and outside of the country). When questioned, they simply shrug their shoulders and say "if we did anything to stop

As much as I have no sympathy for any of these billionaires and celebrities, Epstein's entire modus operandi was getting himself associated with as many of these people as possible to insulate himself. So while yes, I think there is di

This is something that doesn't get enough attention. Youth in North America grow up being bombarded with the idea that becoming a celebrity is the pinnacle of success. Education is often seen as something for conformists. Meanwhile in

Very true. It also didn't help that the little promotion they did framed it as a comedy.

Apple TV+ has really surprised me. They've quickly become my favourite streaming platform, and somehow even got me interested in Major League Soccer (a sport I didn't even follow previously) enough to subscribe to their MLS Season

Surprised to hear the design is divisive. Aside from the rims and Hyundai logo, I think it looks very cool and makes the Model 3 look even more dated. The 'legacy' manufacturers are killing it with their EV plans lately so I'

The reverse of this: in my early days in tech support for a major router manufacturer, we were told the CEO would occasionally call in posing as a customer, and agents had been fired for being rude or offering poor support. To this day I do

I haven't followed CS for some time so I might be missing something key about this announcement... but to my eyes the graphics and effects look smooth, but strangely outdated. The smoke effects look like something that would be excitin

I think Gmail was a special case: a highly anticipated product that was better than anything else out there, it had a killer feature that was unheard of (1GB of storage and growing!), and you could immediately use it as your main email. It

My experience does not align with this at all. I've been using an iPhone XS for nearly 5 years. Other than wishing it had a more powerful camera, I haven't felt the need to get a new phone at all. Sure, it's not as snappy as

With Tesla's army of lawyers it'll never be a cakewalk, but I can't imagine even miles of T&C can remove a company's responsibility for your car throwing you directly into oncoming traffic, not to mention the potenti
