Like you, I like Overcast’s ability to speed up podcast by about 25-30% and eliminate the pauses in speaking. That makes even the most amateur of podcasts sound professional. Since it allows the speed up to be different for each podcast, it lets me adjust the speed to the subject matter.

Wouldn’t it be easier to create a check list and, before you go check off all the items that should be off. And then if you’re the paranoid type, carry that sheet with you.

Doesn’t the 2014 Mac mini have the RAM soldered in? If so, forget that RAM upgrade if you’re stuck with that loser. The 2014 Mac mini is so bad that 2012 Mac minis often sell now for more than I paid for mine new five years ago.

If you’re a woman, simply ask yourself, “Does this guy remind me of Bill Clinton?” If the answer is “yes,” turn and flee.

Someone should make arrow keys whose upper surface is an arrow pointing in the appropriate direction.

Blacklisting will do little good. These people have lots of numbers. They’re cheap to get.

I feel sorry for the third of Americans who enter their twenties without a drivers license. I may not have been the world’s best driver at 16, but learning to drive in the mid-teens is like learning to ride a bike as a kid. New skills are easier when you’re young.

Muggers will love this. No longer will they be restricted to what you have in your wallet. Now they can go after your entire back account or how much credit you have.

Cancer rates are heavily dependent on age. Is this map adjusted for that?

Self-talk is one technique that Navy SEALs use to cope with difficulties.

Bad management is one reason. Technological changes may be a factor, but they should have anticipated those. That’s why they get seven-figure incomes.

You might try not assuming everyone who disagrees with you is “anti-science” and filled with “hate.”

Ah, with your expertise you should collect and write a cookbook with alternative recipes for all these Jiffy mixes.

I was there too and was impressed with how well Auburn’s police department, assisted by a few 6' 4" state troopers, handled the situation. Berkeley and elsewhere could learn from their professionalism. They created a large buffer zone around the hall where Spencer was to speak and did their best to keep the two groups…

Thanks for all your hard work.

I may see you there Michael. I live about a half-mile off the Auburn campus and plan to be there, but only after getting the advice of the Auburn police. I don’t want to go, but given that this is happening all over, I need to get a feel for what it’s actually like.

Having worked as a military contractor, indeed not only for the USAF, but at Eglin AFB where this Mother of All Bombs was tested—I’m sure Trump knew about this. He either formally signed off on it or, if he’s big on just letting the military do their thing, they gave him a “look what we have planned” heads up in…

Another “stupid white men” video. That ticks me off. I grew up with bigotry just like this in the segregated South. Only the color of the man being stereotyped has changed. It remains just as nasty.

A strange story, to say the least. Warming stopped some 19 years ago and claims that we’d have more extreme weather have proved bogus. Nothing out of the ordinary is going on weatherwise or climatewise. Nothing.

Mandarin isn’t an easy language to learn. The U.S. State Department places it in Category III, the superhard languages. Spanish is in Category I, which are languages close enough to English to be easily learned:
