I'm in the same boat. I have to use Outlook for work, but I use TB for pretty much everything else (and still import my work cal to make sure I have a 'master' view of all my time since I work from home mostly anyway). It&#x2

"It's fascinating that Canada has such a reputation for being more progressive than their southern neighbors" CANADA is....Quebec isn't. It's Canada's Florida, just with crappier weather, and more cheese curds.

That's a tautology. The DMCA is a legal action, but not inherently one that requires litigation. There is a difference.

Beyond the "cringe" factor mentioned, I have long found Disney a cretinous org. I was not much of a fan as a kid, and by adulthood found their IP shenanigans reprehensible, compounded by working in so-called "anti-piracy&quot

I can't think of a single Police force these days free of scandal, but the Met, for all its issues, still is the father of modern police/detective work, with clearance rates and auditability still near the top of any list. ...and

I don't fundamentally disagree with this position, but I do feel the level and types of training a US LEO should go through (yes, I suggest a Federal standard) should be completely different from the mess now. The training and discipli

He himself did not reform too much, but not for lack of tying. In the end one could easily argue that he helped mainline numerous ideas that had been previously flat out obstructed by the GOP: redistricting guidelines/gerrymandering (w

They are indeed part of the problem. Once people get it out of their heads that California is a pure "blue" state and has in fact had a complex political history with a lot of moving changes, including many by the GOP, than it ra

Terms limits are a red herring. They punish good and bad candidates, and don't actually help the problems with the elected class: campaign funding and competitive districts/gerrymandering. Wanna know what its a "single party

As someone who has been in tech for ages, and yet also knew SF before its current state..I'd be happy with an influx of families and earnest weirdos. I feel the same about San Jose too.

For some reason Mutt was the last terminal based email, and I still never liked it as much as Pine. This was a decade ago and I pretty much have since just used Thunderbird (or meh, Outlook) for email. I still hate most web clients...

I hope Portugal makes it onerously difficult for expats. The last thing that place needs is to be the new Malaga. Yes, I am biased as I'm ethnically Portuguese, travel there often enough, and love "my ancestral homeland" and
