Gluten free pizza does exist and is perfectly adequate to me. Certain styles of crust work great (gf ingredients are good for making something crispy, but not so much doughy and chewy). But yeah, specific pizza or other people’s pizza is ou

A few years ago I was discussing my health problems with a group of vague colleagues and someone told me that because I have Celiac disease and type 1 diabetes, I should kill myself. I don’t even remember who it was who told me that, but no

I live 2 blocks from a Costco Small Business Center. It’s great as nobody else has chosen to put a grocery store in the neighborhood.

Yes, the rationale is briefly described in the exposition to the question. Following recent events such as sudden API price hikes resulting in discontinuation of most 3rd party reddit clients and clumsy communication from the admins, discon

Elon seems strangely desperate for money sometimes though. Despite his vast stock holdings, he feels compelled to play games with announcements that manipulate stock prices, and try pump-and-dump schemes on minor crypto.

Brad Carvey taught a course on 3d animation at the community college in Albuquerque in the 90s. My gf was in one of his classes. Very down-to-earth, knowledgeable and friendly guy. We went to a party at his house for the class one time and

Meta, Microsoft Apple and Google have all used X for one thing or another. Most recently an X trademark in the context of social media was bought by Meta from Microsoft when they acquired Mixer, which became Facebook Gaming.

If he had the trademark then, he wouldn't have it 20 years later without having used and defended it in the intervening time.

What about Nissan Z? Surely it was never open season for other automakers to name a model that, right?

Apple’s X predated that by a decade or two with OS X. Also, the fine article is about Google X.

It seems like an inappropriate name to me. It does have an association with SpaceX though, which is viewed positively by most people. If he called it TweetX that would have been great.

I have been using DDG as the default on all of my browsers for several years. However, there are still searches where I am not finding exactly what I want, and using the !g to perform the same search on Google comes up with better results.

I didn’t recognize it either, but apparently it is because I was too old. I’d recognize the original AOL client, certainly, but AOL Desktop was apparently released in late 2007. By that time I was using cable internet, WindowMaker and KDE.

Glad to hear I wasn’t the only one accidentally flagging submissions! I had about 20 on my list going back to 2011 and only 1-2 were legitimately flag-worthy. Far fewer comments, only 4, and of those only 1 was by error. However my account

I feel like the real solution is for people to stop trying to get AI chatbots to answer factual questions, and believing the answers. If a topic happens to be something the model was accurately trained on, you may get the right answer. If n

Oh, I was fairly offended that these stores happily sold me dangerous and fraudulent products. I certainly won't be doing that again. Glad your problem turned out to be fairly benign, although I'm sure painful and worrisome! Who k

Vapes stores run the gamut. Some of them inherited their style from the classic head shop, which was basically as tacky as possible. The head shop scene has evolved from places selling pipes, bongs, rock posters, incense, psychadelia, somet

Installing the drivers is easy, but that doesn’t mean they work immediately. I got a fairly old computer a couple of years ago and put an RTX 3070 in it… I tried installing several distros and each of them would go through the install fine,

I don't really care about the calories, but I developed type 1 diabetes which means I have to use insulin to offset carbs. Sugary soda drinks are not even remotely worth it - one can of Coke has as many carbs as a large slice of pizza

I agree; that's insightful. There are many 8 and 16 bit inspired games for modern platforms but they are just not the same. Emulation is also awesome if you have kids. I don't know anything about modern consoles, but several years
