Ever met a binge drinker? I have, starting at university. Find one of those people and ask them if drinking one beer makes them want to drink more. I think you might be surprised by the answer.

It's as old as the music industry itself. The Police's hit single "Roxanne" was labelled by A&M (their record company) as "banned by the BBC" in the UK even though it was never banned...just not playlisted.

I think what he's trying to say is that ageism is real today, but things didn't used to be that way.

I doubt there's as much crossover as you think. I really don't see any evidence that a lot of MAGAts are JRE listeners.

Also, no heat issues. And I don't ever think I've heard the fan spin up on the M1 MBP, and I've hardly been conservative with loads on it. They're great laptops.

I grew up on a farm near Media, Pennsylvania. We had quite a few American Chestnut trees. One of my first childhood memories is picking up the nuts off the grass. I doubt those trees are still there. I should go back sometime and see.

The TikTokification of Facebook is giving Meta brainworms. The entire model of Facebook, until recently, was the social graph. It seems now that they're terrified of getting their lunch eaten, they are trying to combine algorithmic sel

I use Brave and love it, but if you want to stay with FF have you tried FFDE? On my M1 Pro it doesn't create any heat problems that I've noticed.

I know I'll be totally shocked when it's announced that money went into the pockets of Filipino government officials. For those who don't know, about 40 rich and powerful families (like, say, the Yansons, Tans, Aranetas, or

Apple can mandate whatever the hell they like, but there will be no putting the toothpaste back into the work from home tube. I won't even consider roles that force me to commute and work in some corporate rat's nest, no matter ho

They're also simpler when it comes to options. I had an Audi once and it had electronic everything , including adjustable lumbar support and heated seats. With these kinds of cars, if an electrical component dies you'll likely ha

I dunno, I think just about any person would be angry if the Chinese-made electric clippers they just plugged into a wall outlet exploded in their hand.

Correct, I forgot about that and just watched it again after years and realised he didn't go to visit the Slabbers. It would have been fun if he went there and ate something, though.

Keep in mind, too, that demonstrating a recipe on TV isn't the same as cooking at home. He might just be doing that because it's what they gave him on set. Or maybe he can afford to go through pans at a pace that a normal person a

I don't think so. Garner's is an American English usage guide, and they define it (see above).

The level of churn at Amazon is incredibly high. They turnover a lot of their workforce and they're famous for "hire to fire."

Who do you think are the best technical writers? I have a much better sense of who they are in literature, but in technical writing I'd like to read some examples.
