The 24/7 office people won't be happy until we're collaborating at hot desks with no headphones 100% of the time. Otherwise they might have to wait to ask a question.

Google isn't killing the horse with a broken leg. It's killing anything less than the triple crown winner.

ATVs sound a lot louder at 2am in the city, but nobody is going to call you racist for complaining about the ones in the country.

Pitbulls should be designated the fifth pest. It would go a long way towards making cities safer to walk and bike.

If not having motorbikes ripping through the streets at 2am is gentrification, so be it.

Google Sheets REGEX* and QUERY kick ass. I don't want to use PowerQuery, I want to use formulas.

I think there's a triple point of quality-time-cost for products like that. Coffee, wine, and chocolate especially are subject to diminishing returns. Price is ~usually~ an indicator of quality, but there's an element of your time (research) in finding the best for the price stuff.

Where does the clean money to exchange for crypto come from if there's no legitimate on-ramp and off-ramp? You could at least exchange drugs and alcohol for dirty fiat.

How does your friend from Amsterdam convert his crypto to Euros? The value of crypto more or less relies on there being an off-ramp to local currency. Also he should use Monero!

You don't have to ban crypto. You could just ban exchanges. You can always exchange Bitcoin for cash and back, but that's a lot harder.

I have never seen million abbreviated as "mln" instead of "mil"... So at first I read this headline as "100 dollars minimum".
