For me, I've found that some curved displays are better than others. My home monitor is curved, on a seemingly very large radius, and I love it! However some that I've used that are more curved make everything look distorted.

I have this conversation with my wife (who is an avid book reader) at least once per month. I read so many technical documents for work, via my computer, that I often don't want to read a book for pleasure.

> Companies forget this. they don't care about your commute at all. "if [c-level exec] can make it to the office every day, so can you" not to mention that, said exec does not in fact make it to the office every day

It's same with a lot of the rural south too. Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas. I grew up driving past these types of towns all the time.

One of my go-to closing questions in interviews is to ask them if they have any concerns/doubts about hiring me for the role. So far I've gotten pretty good and honest feedback from it. It also gives me an opportunity to explain m

I think the reason is 2 part. Part 1 being often these "junk" processed foods are cheaper to buy for more quantity. eg. a box of macaroni and cheese can feed a family of 4 on $2USD. Possibly mix in a couple hotdogs which on the ch

They mention smoking it, isn't smoking ANYTHING be harmful to your cardiovascular health? What is the increased risk vs cigarettes vs cigars etc.? How does this hold up for users who smoke it vs. eat it?

Which card is that, that takes away the incentive? I use Apple Pay pretty frequently and still get my cashback rate, or double points incentives on the cards that I use.

Do they really need a captcha on BOTH username AND password input? I get that they are different submit pages, so they are likely querying the database on each page, but is that really necessary? I don't see any benefit from it, as a u

At a previous company I found an internal excel document with everyone's salary, from the CEO down to his assistant. On the doc my salary was inflated ~25K to what my actual gross was, I can only assume these perks/benefits were i

This happened to me, not necessarily in a bad way, but makes me think what I should've asked for. I attempted to do research on the company and their salaries for that position via glassdoor, salaries in the area, etc. (they are rated

While its been a long time since I've been on an airplane _without_ Wi-Fi, I don't often see power outlets. And as you alluded to, most of the time its $10 for the duration of that flight, whether its 5 hours or 30 minutes.

I always look for restaurants for a limited menu for precisely this reason, and am rarely disappointed by them. on the flip side I find it a turn off when a place has a 3-4 page menu, and the food is often (but not always) mediocre.
