kitwalker12··on Who cleans up after war?
I recently saw Daniel Craig on the Late Show. He's the "United Nations Global Advocate for the Elimination of Mines and Explosive Hazards"

UNMAS (http://www.mineaction.org/unmas) helps with war clean-up in the few cases where peace eventually breaks out as apart from the dead-bodies, mines & IEDs are also painful remnants

just Star Wars themes on your Gmail and Calendar accounts
kitwalker12··on Argument: React is killing Angular
didn't look into the discussion as they are difficult to compare. One provides an MVC and one is mainly the view.

kitwalker12··on Apple TV vs. Roku 4 vs. Fire TV vs. Chromecast
