A TWSBI Eco with a medium nib or maybe a Pilot Prera in fine would be a good start for anyone, both under $50. Maybe a Pilot Kakuno since they are under $20. Lamy Safari are often recommended, but have a forced grip pattern due to the shape

CDI is a slots company who happens to own some race tracks anymore. In around 2018 once they started with the "historical racing terminals" (slots), they shifted from caring about racing to the fat margins of slots-- an $8k slot m

There are obviously hundreds of other factors (with different weights), with dozens/hundreds of tests at any given time, but those few factors are what have remained relatively consistent over time. That is partially why Google's

From a UX perspective, your site is perfectly fine. From an SEO perspective, though, the brand/category pages don't have enough content (in Google's opinion) to be uniquely relevant. Even though a user would find the faceting

CLS is probably from ads, even Google's own "responsive" Adsense ads will nuke your score there. Both the text compression and JS issues are again related to ads, since in many cases the page loads, makes a request with user

Nothing like tax abatements being handed out like candy to some of history's most profitable companies when they would likely build there anyways, combined with the trend that many companies simply leave once they expire.

Angle of Empire or Verifying. Maybe Mandarin Hero if he draws in. 20 horse fields are chaotic, especially with positioning and horses getting boxed in, bumped, shuffled, going insanely wide into stretch. Forte got a horrible draw, but there

Pilot Kakuno is cheap, relatively durable and pretty good quality. I would take it over a Safari in the sub $25 category.

GA Premium started at $100k/yr ~10 years ago and pretty much only disabled sampling on reports and added additional custom dimensions. This was pre-360 days and was 5x what we were paying for Adobe Analytics. Once you get to those leve

I wonder if they acquired Urchin (GA, ~2005, so well before they started cornering mobile/browser markets) to start building out and improving their rankings through the data. If they have user data through Chrome, why would they want
