I was expecting an app called Abandon that would unfollow all of my annoying Facebook friends... with abandon.

I always thought they indicated Illuminati meeting places?

An article on sleeveless hoodies and no mention of Bill Belicheck? I guess the author is not from Bahston.

Had tinitus since childhood, and has worsened over time being a drummer. This worked but I wonder if it’s simply my ears adjusting to the relatively loud banging of my fingers against my brain. The “relief” of ringing might just be relative to the loudness of the tapping.

I use a few drives as “Time Machines” for my Macs— I also have a few external non-solid-state drives that I use for photo backups. How often should I be replacing my backup drives?

I think what the author is referring to are repairing things that fail over time that have little to do with direct user interaction. Like a water heater going bad and needing to be replaced. That’s a cost that I’m very glad I don’t have to eat as a renter, should that ever happen.
