No amount of engineering can solve the problem that no matter how much you jiggle, you shake, or you dance, the very last drop always falls in your pants.

I wrote this article about Firefox 0.9 back in 2004, when they first implemented pop-up blocking, and have been using it every day since. https://www.digital-web.com/articles/firefox_09/

Well, it's a free game, and open source... I acknowledge the irony though.

Thanks for the feedback! If you hold the volume button it opens up sliders to adjust the music/ambient noise levels. I should make this more obvious, probably.

Thanks...I will work on optimizing that. There's also a Mac version you can download, but that wouldn't work in your case. As someone else said, the lobby is the lobby - eventually the Assembly starts to meet there once you make e

Not yet. There are fires, and a trained safety team (something you have to get funded and maintain) puts them out. SimTower didn't have crime either, so I didn't consider building that out.

Good! As a vinyl collector, the price has gotten way too high. Let this help drive it down.

Isn't the phrase "tilting at windmills?" It comes from Don Quixote, as I recall, and suggests a fruitless effort. A waste of time.

If you do use tennis balls, stand in front of your couch so they land there and don't roll away.

You do not need an extra tool to download your photos. This one runs from the command line, though.

The only evidence I can find is with Spotify doing this.

Spotify pays me about $0.003 per stream. That's pretty typical for every artist on the site.

I'm not a marketer (anymore), but as an end user, I feel that Google has shot themselves in the foot with the horrendous search experience they provide these days. This notion and topic of discussion is becoming more commonplace online

Yeah, I used to have a habit of buying a blank cassette with two vinyl albums each weekend after I got paid so I could listen to said albums in my car. I'd still rock the records at home though.

You go to a testing center, not a therapist, to get a diagnosis. The online tests don't count. A thorough test will take a half-day or more, with tests ranging from conversations to Q&A to visual to a battery of multiple choice que

Then you are losing out on the insurance the company is supposed to provide, usually through bonding, in case the cleaner pockets your favorite jewelry, for example. Or they knock over the Faberge egg while dusting.
