Good news: Automakers are finally realizing that car touchscreens are a disaster.

Drivers hate them, and they're also dangerously distracting. Buttons and knobs are poised for a comeback.

My exotic coins jar is throwing an OutOfSpaceException.
Perhaps I should at least fish out the € and spend them 😛

this was never going to be a big enough jar for the amount you travel!

I'm pretty sure stopped escalators aren't actually stopped, they are moving very slowly in reverse

Someone asked me recently, what is one quality that is career limiting that many people don't realize is career limiting?

My answer? Being unable to deal with ambiguity. The more senior you get, the more there are is no right answer or plan figured out. That's your job.

Anyone have opinions about where to place outdoor faucets on a house? I'm realizing I haven't had outdoor space in so long that I don't have any recent frustrations with outdoor hoses to draw from!

Is the answer just, "everywhere"?

domain names are like $8/year and you have a lot more control over your own website.

spending that PER MONTH for an account on a dying app that can disappear any moment is a rip-off
