    5 minutes. Done.

  • Why Google Search is Falling Apart

  • Do I get to drink from the firehose?

  • To Americans: How far apart is everything in the US?

  • Walking distance is only part of this equation.

    We have no sidewalks and I would need to cross a 6 lane interstate if I were to go to the "closest" anything.

  • Which is your favorite Firefox fork?

    Jump

  • I'm a Waterfox user.

    No particular reason. It doesn't have much fluff and it works well. That's all I ask for in a browser.
