WestLaw and Lexis Nexis provide this for legal search, but quite frankly, these services are subpar. It's amazing that these two companies rake in hundreds of millions but they are both slower than Google, Bing, Yandex, or any LLM serv

AOE2 is the pinnacle of the RTS genre. With the Definitive Edition released in 2019, it's still extremely popular today. In my opinion, no RTS title has surpassed AOE2 before or since in terms of gameplay (and, in my subjective opinion

We have a say in how the government spends our tax dollars? This is news to me. I would prefer that much less be spent on war and military, among other things.

We have an under-incarceration problem. See the recent results from El Salvador. I don't lose a second of sleep over the cruel treatment of murderers and violent criminals.

Yes, I remember Dr. Sbaitso very, very well. I spent many hours with it as a kid and thought it was tons of fun. To be frank, Dr. Sbaitso is why I was underwhelmed when chatbots were hyped in the early 2010s. I couldn't understand why

The prequels were awful and Jar Jar Binks was a horrible, no good character. That said, I had no idea tripod still existed! What a blast from the past.

Yeah, I've wondered if Amazon is using Twitch's AWS fees as paper losses to lower taxes. I.e., Twitch is actually making profits but Amazon wants the AWS fees on its books so that Twitch isn't recording profits (and therefore

What did Steve Jobs actually make other than hype? He wasn't an engineer and wasn't an inventor. He was a salesman (a great one!) but a salesman at the end of the day.

Yup, this happened to me. I didn't sign up for Zelle. Didn't know I even had it. I lost $3,000 and BofA refused to reverse or refund any of the charges. Total BS.
