Microwaving fresh bread... WHAT?? You gotta drop a recipe or something, that is fascinating

I think this is under-appreciated. The technology of food has progressed immensely in the last decades! Even recipes from the 90s don't hold up as well, because home cooks have access to more knowledge, techniques, tools, ingredients,

The last time I was in a McD (this year), it smelled faintly of feces, and yep it was a mess. It really did put me off going to any other McDonald's. I know that's one experience but prior ones had been trending in that direction.

Earth has the benefit of a thermal mass that's at least a couple times larger than your average terrarium.

There's a joke here... Q: How do you make friends in Boston? A: Same way everyone else does. In kindergarten.

1.8GJ is pretty much exactly 500kWh? That's not awful in terms of energy, although intuitively I suspect that the real-world energy used would be at least an order of magnitude higher than the gravitational potential energy gain.

Mentioning Rupi Kaur here is kind of like holding up the Marvel Cinematic Universe as an example of great cinema. Plagiarism issues notwithstanding.

Yes, I recall that the GDR exhibited some minor differences from its neighbor across the wall.

The Honda I drove as a teen could be significantly disassembled with a 10mm and a couple screwdrivers. I rear ended someone with a tow hitch, busted the rad an AC condenser and the shop wanted $300 to fix it (tells you how old I am). I repl

Are you itchy after you use them? If not then you're good. If they're reeeeally old then you should make sure they aren't asbestos.

So does fiberglass. I would dislike working with the aforementioned basalt fiber, I suspect it's like fiberglass or carbon fibers in that you'll end up itchy later, unless you do a really good job with your PPE e.g. taping gloves

What you're saying makes sense, and I agreem. But I don't think Karp, as he is described in the article, agrees... -snip- Karp referenced the political scientist Samuel Huntington’s belief that “the rise of the west was not made p

The US's power comes from its ability to project organized violence? What was Vietnam then? And what would have come of the Vietnam era if people could be individually and effortlessly targeted in their daily lives for going against it

Found this amazing redlining map. I think I've highlighted Berwyn. I don't have knowledge to contextualize the map but I'm curious if any patterns from the HOLC map are strongly present in your area now. https://ds

Looking for context here: how do Swedes view their government? Do they feel represented by, it, trust their governments etc.? My perception as a USian in a coastal, progressive state, is that trust in government is quite low. Municipal and

Thanks for the encouragement. I wrote my comment while a bit hungover from a dinner party :) In general I'm OK with how I interact with people. I think we're all a bit impedance mismatched. The author's experience of having

I was unable to use a HELOC to pay for renovation costs. The banks wanted basically the same assurances as you'd need with a conforming mortgage. I had investment assets several times the loan amount, and a fully paid off house. I ende

You're going to have to explain your premise, because this question doesn't make sense. What would be the value of my car without the pile of tires in my garage?

I wish I had the drive to do as much work as the author has. Instead I will live more or less where I am now, stably in social mediocrity, perpetually somewhat impedance mismatched with the people around me.

The AI boosters are sort of telling. Their bull case is that AGI/robotics could replace 100% of global GDP, which doesn't seem to register as a weird thing to want. Replace all labor on the planet and I'll be stinking rich!!

I pay ~500 US/mo for health insurance. Just for me, no dependents. Not an exotic low-deductible health insurance plan. 2% on top of income tax sounds like a dream.

It can wear on you a bit if you make lots of coffee but I went years with a Hario skerton hand grinder until my partner got sick of it and got us a reasonably priced election burr Truly you could be making great coffee at home with <$75

If a gram scale and a grinder that has one knob and one button is too much to deal with then I guess you do need K-cups after all. 300g of water over 17g of freshly ground beans will pretty much always beat the K-cup on quality, is cheaper

If you go through coffee regularly, it's actually quite a nice thing to invest in. There are a really amazing number of craft roasters throughout the country, and simply having a quality grinder is enough. And you don't need a cra

I'm continually astounded at how well it works. I've forgotten my phone in the basement and walked all the way up to the third floor of a building without having the audio I was listening to on my BT earbuds drop out.

This actually is a charming font. With the random letter form sizing fixed, it reminds me of scans of old print publications. Thank you.

Waymo (prev. Chauffeur) were cruising freeways long before they were doing city streets. Problem was that you can't do revenue autonomous service with freeway-only driving. The real reason I see for not running freeways until now is th

Fusion power has the chance to displace most power generation, and whoever is successful at the experiment wins the energy economy, period. However given the long timelines, high cost of research, and the unanswered technical questions arou
