   I have celiac. This is my experience. I am grateful for how common eating gluten free is, no matter the cause. But a lot of restaurants have started saying “gluten free friendly” instead of “gluten free”. The communities online are great an

   I don't have a Dyson vacuum. But when I got new carpet the company I bought it from gave us a "How to care for your new carpet" brochure. And one of the first things was "do not use a Dyson". I asked about it and th

   Firefox isn't perfect. I'm sure if you go back to the last major browser war, you'll see that Firefox didn't "win" that war. But they did win the fight they were fighting. They proved that you don't have t

   “Minecraft Java Edition” springs to mind :P Otherwise I mostly only see this when it’s “for developers by developers”

   I agree, as an employee. I mentioned this to my director and he also agreed with me but brought up some logistics I hadn't thought about because it wasn't my job to care. What do you do about office space? The company is paying a

   I find this to be more true in "gift-priced" sets. ~$25 and less. But once you hit the ~$30+ sets, you see more and more creativity with the generic pieces. I would assume that the cheaper sets need to look good but have fewer pie

   I bring it up here because they’re reversing the LG firmware and modifying it. I would love a fork of this work that does nothing. While a developer, this kind of work is outside my current wheelhouse and I just don’t have the time to learn

   Here's what I want for custom firmware: nothing. I don't mean "I don't want custom firmware". I want custom firmware THAT DOES NOTHING. Turn the TV into a dumb monitor. Do nothing else. Don't make me wait X sec

   I actually disagree with your novel example. When I read a novel, the first half of the book is building up to the second half. There's so much uncompressed information that I take in. Learning the characters, learning the environment,

    I've always assumed part of it is more relative. Meaning: When I'm 5, 10 years old seems like a lifetime away... because it is. Going from 5 to 6 is, relatively speaking, the same as going from 50 to 60. I assume my brain has so m

    IMO, The difference being overlooked here is that the reason windows is so smooth is because it’s cost effective to target it when you’re making hardware. If MS pivoted to a Linux Kernel, then all that hardware will quickly get better suppo

    This reminds me of “Temperature Blankets”. They seem pretty well known in knitting/crocheting world. Typically they’ll do a row or two of a color representing the weather for each day of the year. My wife made one for the year 2020. It

    Is there a tool/platform/etc like pico that would allow you to make SNES era quality/style games? I love love pico! But also SNES is my childhood console. I would love something as simple/fun as Pico.

    Gas stations around me (Utah) have all replaced their magstripe with a dual magstripe/chip reader. It drives me nuts though, because you still have to insert your card ALL THE WAY IN as if you're using the mag stripe, and then it

    I don’t disagree. I’m simply pointing out it’s still used. That severing links and arguing in favor of that by saying “no one uses it” is inaccurate.

    I think the commenter is saying that the Gov is afraid so they spy. And that MS’s comment helps us see that. (Rather than the Gov is afraid because MS is speaking out. )

    I think your parent is saying that the quote was given ASSUMING insurance. So when the bill was formally given, it didn't match the quote because the quote was given under false-assumptions (about insurance).

    My favorite variation included these rules: 1 - Double 1s or double 6s: steal any property from any player. 2 - you can build on any property you own. You’re not forced to build evenly and you’re not forced to own a monopoly on that color.
