Funny. I remember using unroll.me back in the day.

I've used uBlockOrigin in the past for YouTube ads, and it works well on a laptop. What's nice about Premium, if you use it on an iPad, is it lets you download videos, and let's you also play them in the background, etc. I d

Agree, I've been finding myself pausing some of the Streaming services in the late spring thru fall, when I typically don't have time to watch tv with the nice weather outside. But I've been one-click re-enabling every Octob

US -> anywhere I've looked (or booked) in Europe is up from about $900 -> $1800 in May -> September. So for my personal flights, it's about 100% up. In talking with friends booking family trips, it sounds the same. Eve

It's already up over 25% in the last year anyway. Not sure why we're worring about long term. Anyone try booking a trip to Europe from US lately?

Haa...cyclocross is definitely gear intensive. I always enjoyed running becasue I could be ready in like 2 minutes vs going for a bike ride that involved at a minimum kitting up, pumping the tires, and more often than that for the type of r

Bird By Bird is required reading for aspiring writers in a lot of writing programs. I haven't read it in a long time, but in talking with some people recently, the advice has stood the test of time and is still highly recommended.

I think they resent the fact that they'll make 175K/year for senior level work.

Right, but even with lagging birth rights, US is still growing Yoy. It's not growing at the 2%/year it was a few years ago, but it's still net positive.

What makes you think US Population is receding? By all census counts, we're still growing, a lot. Numbers for 2022 are something like 900K immigrants living in the U.S. became U.S. citizens. 2 Million more migrants came with about @ 1

Yeup. I had a similar comment above. I tried phone screening someone, and they had no working knowledge of the commercial apps that we integrate with, the databases we use, etc. And I can hire literally for half the price someone with work

I don't think an elevated salary at a FAANG implies over-qualified, though. I phone-screened someone from a FAANG, and they knew very little about non-proprietary technologies that we used on a day-to-day. Any of the big-branded commer

WhatsApp is the one app that I continue to use by them. Aren't they only able to collect meta-data on the conversations and not see any of the texts themselves? Also, no ads yet, so that's a win for me. Everytime I've tried

I also think they miss the point on AirBnb in that all those AirBnb's that have "brooklyn" style now is because it's a trend, and will need to be updated in 10 years for the next new trendy styling if they want to keep t

I have to find the article, but my understanding is 15% of all US residential real estate is bought by foreign buyers, and then combined with the 25% that's bought by investment firms, a total of around 40% of the US housing marking is

I've heard Roon mentioned a lot, and I have BluOs and my NAD amp support it natively. I've never really bothered to look into this. But this sounds like it's time for me to explore. Weird that it took an Apple product marke

If these were the case, then why would "fake news" be a thing?

I'm willing a lot of these stories stem from covid times. I had to literally wait like 10 months for some high-end furniture to arrive. Was worth it in the end, but was pretty obvious early on what was out of the retailer hands regardi

I don't believe there's anyway that the paper-Ikea stuff was the same quality of the $2700 R&B bookshelf. Do you have any links? Having owned a lot of throwaway Ikea furniture in the past, I was pretty happy with some of my m

Yeup, I used to be a regular at dpreview a long time ago, certainly before I bought my first DSR the Canon 20d. But even before that when I was still buying point-and-shoots. I probably haven't been back since about 2014, though, when

I'm curious if other's have been experiencing this. I'm at my second job now where there's a big push to off-shore to India. If you can be remote, to an exec, they might not see it too differently between you and offshor

I don't think you're using the term "food desert" properly like you think you are. In the suburbs, it's expected that you'll get to your local grocery store and find healthy foods available at reasonable price

As someone who lives in a city, I see it being no different for neighbors who share the same front door.

We already have solutions in place being implemented in the next 10 - 15 years for electric cars and car-based carbon emissions. So carbon based commuting is going to get fixed. People in the U.S. won't be living in dystopian China-sty

Before Covid, there's sections of my city where you could either A) put 500K down + have 1M in outstanding mortgage (whatever that payment was) + 1600/month taxes + 1600/month condo fees or B) Rent a place in the same buildin

I think it depends that you're reusing them for. I bought some of those "Stasher" branded reusable plastic bags for lunch things, they got gross pretty quickly, hard to wash, and then they started coming apart at the seems.

I thought compostable plastic bags only worked in commercial composters? I probably wouldn't use those in a home situation. But your home situation, you're kind of lucky, because you can just go dump the bin in your compost pile

I just reuse my "disposable" bags anyway, like ziplocks and stuff. I agree the fancy "reusable" plastic bags are pretty much junk (when storing food, like lunch items). It does make sense using the reusable grocery bags
