That is because being an expert at makeup tutorials or being the 14532’nd person to record yourself eating a tide pod doesn’t necessarily grant one any technical chops.

What kind of nanny state do we live in where there are 1300 words considered “taboo”, whatever that means. Is there a fleet of Sunday-school teachers making up this list. Seriously, I get to about word number 50 in my list of worst coarse language and I’ve fallen into the realm of “mildly offensive to the thin-skinned”. With an average vocabulary of 20-30 thousand words, this is 4-7% of our words. Sure glad I don’t have a host of risk-averse corporate advertisers my life depends on as I’d be telling the would-be censors to stuff it.
... a Bluetooth refrigerator. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? They are hard to get right in the first place... let's add buffer overflows to bypasses. There are actually lock innovators in Canada without resorting to the "let's add network" approach to innovation. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bowleylockcompany.com%2F comes to mind. Sometimes less is more.

1 in 6 isn't convinced the earth is round? The fact that 'Almost one in three [American respondents ages 16-to-65] couldn't correctly answer "how much gas is in a 24-gallon tank if the gas gauge reads three-quarters full."' might help explain that. If that's the level you are working at, how on this flat earth are you to critically evaluate any claim you are faced with. I see this as a symptom of a highly inequitable education system feeding into the appeal of a counter-culture more than anything else. Of course the educated among these guys... no excuse... just loony.
Seems to me, the reason we have marked police cars is that part of their crime prevention strategy is to maintain a high degree of visibility. Were this not the case, all cars would be unmarked. This app then simply expands that visibility so you can know that big brother's little brother is watching. I am assuming most unmarked cars will not show up in this app, so that tool is still available to law enforcement. Plus, as a criminal, are you really going to trust the cell-phone-wielding masses to catch them all?
So what do we use to replace TC as a multi-platform solution for things like external drives? There are many decent products, but TC seemed to be alone as far as OpenSource tools capable of running on Windows, Linux and Mac. Suggestions?
Like others here, I was invited. I started watching their intro video with two of the least compelling and homely promotional staff ever droning on and on and ZZzzzz...
By the time I woke up some time later, I had forgotten what I was doing and never went back. Perhaps they should have hired Godaddy's or Budwieser's publicists.
Until you posted it here that is and basement-dwellers everywhere scurried off to launch their own versions. Now a new problem... searching all the competing mentor finders. Now if only someone built a meta-search to search them all...
Takes me back to the Vista launch ads as the only word that comes to mind is "Wow".
Many aligators will be slain, but the swamp will remain.
