I get .9 in Firefox on my MBP with UBlock Origin installed. I wondered if it was because I was logged in to Google, so I tried Incognito and got .7. In a never-before-used container I also get .7.

I would LOVE to have something on my glasses! Even just something to tell me I'm in the same room. My prescription is powerful enough that I need them, generally, but weak enough that I take them off often at home. This also means I lo

I would like it better if switch statements used the keyword `continue` to fallthrough and `break` is implied. Switch statements are much easier to maintain if you keep them one or two lines long, and just have it immediately delegate to a

I told my doctor up front that I don't plan to ever buy eyewear from them because I don't feel comfortable buying a prescription from the prescriber. They were very accepting about it and they've been quite respectful to my w

Yeah, we're paying $60. When we signed up it was $15/mo. Been creeping up ever since. It's a huge pain.

I'm going to have to look into that. Thanks for the suggestion!

CenturyLink is totally shady. My wife just yesterday spent a significant amount of time fixing our phone bill. She decided a couple months ago to upgrade to a "fixed" bill plan (apparently they've been raising our prices $10&

Another anecdata point (also in the US): My Doctor DID go over the withdrawals with me when prescribing me Lexapro. Pro-tip: Don't miss a day. :)

When my wife was in college we had a tiny apt-owned convenience store in our parking lot of our apt. It was really really small. The milk was from a local dairy and was priced as low as any grocery store. Eggs were an okay price. Most every

I think part of the problem is that caller ID claims to provide clear identification. People are conditioned to believe caller ID and don't realize it can be easily spoofed. This feeds into the scam because people are willingly more gu

Code coverage is a very poor measure of quality of your tests. You can have lower coverage and great tests, and high coverage with completely useless tests. I use test coverage as part of my workflow. Run my tests with coverage on and make
