Portland's Clackamas Town Center used to have a beautiful skating rink, large fountains next to escalators, and foliage. This has mostly been replaced with a seating area, a larger food court, and more shops. It's considerably less appealing to just _be_ in, at least for me. I miss stuff like that.

I'm starting to get tired of the cookie-cutter Bootstrap and Squarespace templates taking over the web. This is a refreshing read, I like the comparisons it makes to brutalism in architecture.

"And until this feature is ready, we will no longer be deleting any executives’ messages. We should have done this sooner — and we’re sorry that we did not."
This says a lot about the current situation. What else don't we know?

I've always had great experiences with VLC, on any platform, for as long as I can remember using it. Cheers!

Oof, roofing sucks. I'm glad it helped you with your fear of heights though!
Random anecdote, I slowly got used to being high in the air on ski lifts. Kinda frustrating for me because I really wanted to snowboard but HATED the lifts. Still love snowboarding, still hate looking down. ._.

> 1. Don't give disagreeable or impulsive people reasons to hate you. So don't be too aggressive of a driver. Don't be too rude to an asshole at the bar or grocery store.

The first comment is simple and insightful. 3 particularly struck a note with me.

I see where the brashness comes from. Shady dealings on Intel's part.

Re:That One Privacy Site – VPN Comparisons

This is a great table, a friend sent me a link to this a while ago and I ended up choosing a VPN from the list. I found that Mullvad and IVPN are a couple of the better choices based on the tables' criteria, though I went with IVPN. Their connection pool allows for 5 available devices now, not 3 as the graph says. Aside from the $100/yr pricing I don't have any gripes whatsoever.
Very descriptive and broad amount of information here.
