I can more-or-less WFH whenever I want/need to. It's nice because I can do laundry or whatever around the house throughout the day and still do what I have to do as far as work is concerned, but I don't think I'd want t

My mom lives in the DFW area and makes $50k. Within the past 5 weeks she's gone for a routine mammogram screening, seen a specialist about a grown that thankfully was benign, and been seen by a surgeon who removed the growth to be on

I had a similar problem with my Nexus 5X. I worked around it as you've described for quite some time before I realized that a small amount of lint had been compressed into the port, which was preventing the connector from going all th

Somewhat off-topic. I recently rewatched Neon Genesis Evangelion and noticed that in many of the classroom scenes all of the kids had laptops. The anime aired in 1995/1996, but was set in 2015.

Man, you're not kidding. Granted, I live in what I imagine is the wealthiest city in the state, so there's constant new construction, roads, and just a general sense of vitality, but one doesn't have to venture far at all to

I defaulted on my student loans a while back and royally screwed my credit. When I decided I was going to get my shit together it started with a Capital One card with a $300 limit and I’m sure a really high interest rate. But my plan was t

Weird. I’m in Mississippi, of all places, and, without asking, my optometrist always sends me off with a printout containing my prescription and PD.

I think it depends on the grade and/or subject you're teaching. My wife has taught HS English for a decade and the 45-50+ hr weeks has been the norm for her and her colleagues. I have the impression (from my wife and her coworker

For whatever reason, I can stand when people comment on what I've brought for lunch. "Hey, that looks pretty good!""Smells good! What'cha got there?""Bring me some next time!"

My wife is the opposite of me in that she's never met a stranger. I like it, because I get to occasionally have these unique experiences that I'd never find myself in on my own. So we're waiting to catch a train back to Pragu

I recently inherited a gen1 iPad Pro (9.7in) and did not realize the Pro models were originally released in 2015/2016. I can see it being relevant for quite a while, especially considering I don't use it for anything "Pro&qu

Oh man. I was flying ATL to LHR a couple years ago and went went over the southern tip of Greenland. My initial reaction was that of wonder and amazement, followed by a hint of unsettling terror at the vast emptiness of the landscape.

This piqued my interest. At least according to this site [0] (which references a 2013 report [1]) for instance, to be in the 1% in New York state you have to be making at least $517,557. However, the average annual income of those in the 1

I spent most of my 20s doing all kinds of things, from installing security cameras, to running cable, to on-site IT work - a lot of it in and around law enforcement (jails, police stations) - and I was often amazed at the kind of access you

I gotta say, though, that the Digital Foundry crew at Eurogamer consistently put out excellent technical analyses of current and (usually every Sunday)retro games. I love it. No politics, no drama, just an in depth look at the tech under t

Can anyone recommend a good article or video (preferably video) that gets into how CPUs work at a somewhat fundamental level? Ideally geared towards someone who's generally familiar with computing concepts and not a total layman.

It still blows my mind that they didn't at the very least make Metro optional for Professional and Server SKUs. Or, better yet, off by default unless the setup detected a device with a touch panel.

Yeah, I definitely don't see this as making AC "obsolete" so much as perhaps raising the threshold of when you turn on the AC. As a resident of the Deep South, this could potentially make sitting outside during the height of
