For hot springs, go to Hvammsvik instead of Blue Lagoon. Hvammsvik was a much calmer, far less touristy experience with none of the kitchy BS. For some fun culture and history in Reykjavik, book a cooking class with Salt Eldhaus. Had a grea

I would disagree with the implication that everything has to grow, but solely on the grounds that I am not convinced human beings are psychologically mature enough as a species to be that connected with that many other humans and still reta

A lot of people might not realize this exists because of the way apps for smart tv's and game systems present the content and menus. I'm not sure if that's intentional or just misguided design, but the only reason I knew to s

The LLMs are not just another tool for these folks, but for folks who should not be touching code at all. That's the scary part. In my field (industrial automation), I have had to correct issues three times now in the ladder logic on a

I get where you are coming from and also got the impression that this guy is just bitching about people not doing things the way he wants them to. But, I catch myself doing this sometimes, though the motive for my gripe may be a bit differe

We are starting to see some in my city in the US and while that is exciting and appreciated, many of them are terrible to ride on. There is one near my house that is so full of lane changes and curves, you really can do much more than 7mpg

I use none of these things and that still hurts more than it should.

These were around in the US back in the day, but known by the name "hobby horse." Relatively few of them survived, but I've seen them in a few collections in my travels, chiefly the Bicycle Museum of America in New Bremen, OH

Furthermore, when it comes to recipes for baking, if it's not using weight as a measure, then it's wrong. Baking is chemistry, so if you want consistent controlled results, stop measuring anything by volume. Sorry, pet peeve of mi

This is my workflow for my site, too, just replacing MS Word with Obsidian since it syncs over all my devices allowing me to write/edit my future content wherever I am at, then upload later. I tried things like bashblog for awhile, but

The Pinecil is great, but is definitely a terrible recommendation for anyone new to soldering. If you're trying to encourage people to learn to solder, they should be doing it with a proper station that can handle and maintain temp for

We agree, but I suppose my next question would be why? What happened to turn these guys (or ham radio culture at large) into grouchy old gatekeepers? I'm generalizing, of course, but they were like that when I arrived. I can't ima

Were you also completely turned off by the community? I ask because I got into it about 15+ years ago for the purposes of helping with emergency comms and learning more about electronics, but found the community extremely hostile toward new

Most of us would not have even done that, though yes, the option was there, but that sort of thing was much more popular 40+ years ago. There was another discussion where this came up on HN recently, but people get quite emotionally defensi

I'm the opposite, apparently. I loved CYOA books as a kid because they could be reread, so I ended up seeking games that boasted multiple endings, including "bad" endings. When playing more linear games, I appreciated them

Excellent, I was looking for new channels to join and idle on. In all seriousness, I hope this helps index some more active servers and some communities to grow. IRC was a big part of my life back at the turn of the century, but I spent som

The wealth gap and the exploitation of the lower class is a highly visible global problem. I'm a bit blown away that your take just assumes my position on that is US-centric.

There was a part that stuck with me, a journal entry that described the Endurance crew standing on a ice that had trapped their boat, and just watching in horror as the shifting ice flow crushed it. It powerfully conveyed raw despair and ov

Every good conspiracy theory starts with a truth, I guess. I had no idea about the CIA thing. I just always assumed the "birds aren't real" meme to be a way of showing how ridiculous the police state is going to become in the

This was always so interesting to me, especially when I think back to being a kid. The neighborhood kids would hang out in nearby farms and fields, catching bugs, snakes and frogs...only to put them in jars or terrariums to see if they woul

I'm in your camp. Media like Squid Game annoy me to no end because they perpetuate the idea that any severe debt someone might be in is always the fault of the individual, rather than circumstance. And this, the system that continues

You might be coming off as making it about you. When we interject with relatable stories, it can often appear to the listener that we are taking what they just said and turning into a narrative about ourselves. Defeating this takes practice
