Amateurish and ersatz "thoughtful thinking aloud" is just the latest reason I can't stand listening to radio, and now prefer podcasts. Pause and ponder all you want, Abumrad, Krulwich, Koenig et. al. I have set my player (Po

Three years ago I just went for Bose QC-15s (in-canal earbuds weren't an option for me, but might be for you, to change-up 'phones throughout the day. Most are isolating, some are noise-cancelling). Aside from the noise-canceling,

Though it was posted 2 years and 3 months ago, and the article states that the bug was fixed, to me, the interesting parts were tracking down the versions of git that were affected, and demonstrating the need for more rigorous regression te

IMHO you have a comfortable cushion, and some time to make careful, thoughtful decisions. Some professional financial planning could set you up to relieve yourself of some worries. Having done phase 1 (acquiring retirement money), you can t

Because of a very strong community-driven notion that Wikipedia is not censored, ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_disclaimers_in_art... ) spoiler warnings won't make it into articles directly. This has be

If what you know has been published in a way which meets enwp.org/WP:Reliable_sources then it can be used in articles. Unpublished material can't be used, because it can't be independently verified by anyone - see enwp.org&#x

Thank you for the effort. Good edit summaries are really helpful to other editors - that fact is not well explained as you're trying to save an edit. It's a frequently thankless job. Now (thanks to concerted effort by the Wikilov
