I mostly agree with this - however it's important to remember that in smaller organizations.... Board members may still be incredibly involved and active. I know of a small (30 million a year) organization where board members input 20

Mangos are better. But fruit that doesn’t come in a wrapper, due to the water exposure and things can be somewhat dubious quality at times. (By wrapper I mean a skin that’s removable). Potatoes and eggplant generally tasted the same to me,

So reading through their website... I’m not convinced that this is a real movement. Due to the layout, the prominence of the store part, etc, it really feels more like it’s a web store that has struck upon trendy marketing in the guise of f

They bill it for “pen testers and police” so I would guess it’s really for people who imagine themselves / want to be within that audience. Not to be overly cynical. I suppose some pen testers, or actual CIA type folks might have some

I agree about the name mispronouncing thing. My first name is very easily mispronounced for most people. Even when they’ve just heard me pronounce it for some reason. I usually don’t bother correcting people unless they ask— and even if the

I remember reading about this in their TOS years ago... I think they normally outline in under taking away names to give to rightful owners. (If you’re name is @apple for example ). This seems like a poorly handled extension of that power.

I tremendously miss driving a manual car. In the US, a big annoyance of mine is how hard it is to get a vehicle I like, with the trim / engine I want, and a manual transmission. On my most recent vehicle I settled for an automatic. I w

Using US prices, a black basic coffee is probably $2-3 at a coffee shop. Any kind of specialty drinks, which most people I would believe get at Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, the local coffee shop, end up being $5-8, not even in a major city or

I got super curious about this, but it’s very hard to nail down price specifics. In the 1950s, telephones were still leased, right ? I found an article stating yearly phone service in 1979 was $350 a year, including phone lease price. Howev
