   My options are Comcast, Century Link, satellite, and some kind of mobile tethering or just using my phone. Comcast is going to be the source of all of my problems if NN crumbles, so let's look at Century Link. I could be same amount of

   I think we can do better. You know those comically bad volume sliders that were all the rage on reddit earlier this year? Let's apply that to entire list of long/lats!

   And any other word you'd expect a comic book villain to utilize when describing their world-domination plans(decimate, eviscerate, blasts, etc.)?

   I tried switching to DDG a few years ago, but I found myself using !ge more often than not, so I wasn't really sure what the point of using DDG was. For my needs, DDG's results are pretty mediocre. Which is a shame, becuase I&#x27

   Serious question...what use is git to a non-developer? I don't think I've ever used it for anything but code. You're not supposed to use it with huge files, so that kind of eliminates the one case I was thinking of (graphic d

   Ugh, that pricing model though. $50/yr for something as 'simple' as a frontend for git when so many comparable alternatives exist for free.

    Firefox -> Chrome is a sidegrade at best. Literally only reason I use it is because I got fed up with weird little CSS quirks I couldn't replicate in IE or FF, but were very present in Chrome.

    I'm way out of the path of totality and I live in a small town, I should be ok. But we'll see. Failing that I'll just make a pin hole viewer.

    So I bought a pack of glasses off of Amazon a few weeks ago. I made sure they were listed as adhering to the ISO standard before buying, confirmed the ISO logo and # on the glasses themselves once they arrived, and then proceeded to try the

    I was under the impression that the diamond ring is what makes it so dangerous to look at an eclipse with naked eyes. Because your eyes adjust to the darkness and in an instant it's flooded with a fuckton of sunlight.

    I don't think so. All I've got is Windows Defender and seeing as how that's a default program in 8 and 10, I'd expect a little more effort on Chocolatey's part to notifier users about that if it was the cause. I don

    Maybe I needed to configure something, but I tried Chocolatey a little while ago on a fresh install of Windows and it seemed to take forever to do anything. Maybe I'm just spoiled by how quickly apt update and apt upgrade go, but it wo

    oh, fair enough! I didn't realize that style of stack was used for anything but nuclear.

    Does anyone else get irked when articles use photos of nuclear power plants when talking about pollution or climate change? I'm certainly no expert, but my understand was that the 'exhaust' from nuclear plants is just water v

    Only thing I could really point to is a number of incredibly mild winters a few years in a row. But even then, I was under the impression that climate change wasn't particularly measurable on a year-by-year scale. Maybe I'm wrong.

    I've seen a few solutions to Flash's death pop up yesterday and today..all dead github projects. My hope is that the official announcement from Adobe will reinvigorate those developers or inspire new ones to pick up the mantle on

    That's not really MS's fault then, is it? If IT doesn't want you installing apps, that's on them.

    Just to be pedantic, isn't referring to where we're at now as "the dark ages" equally hyperoblic?

    I think things like Google Fonts have lead to an overuse of stylistic fonts and that should be addressed. But not for the reasons you're stating. 99.9% of all users don't care about setting their own fonts for websites or even kno

    If you watch enough WW2 documentaries, you start to see the same clips across multiple documentaries. A lot of them don't seem to put much care into matching the visuals with the audio, but the ones that do seem to do a really good job

    I think the ancient aliens theories are fun little 'what if' dips into scifi, but treating them seriously like History does is just stupid. And people who buy into that are equally stupid, if not more so.
