I was thinking the same at first, then I realized: if Microsoft had created a secure OS, that worked quite well all the time, that did what people wanted, and that didn't NEED 3rd party anti-virus software just to be secure, then I wou

Not this reductionist view of the display poster at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, yet again. "Champions" of "science" love to flash this every time they feel threatened by someone who think

You have been adroitly played by TeaDrunk using your own logic against you. To use words of your own choosing: are you starting to see the influence of your own perverted ideology?

Not really "indigenous" but one of my favorite stories of history within history is the unearthing of the classical Greek/Roman statue of Laocön in Rome in 1506. It was witnessed by Michelangelo and immediately recognized as

Well, there are the rich Asians moving south from SF for better weather (the fog belt ends right where property values pick up in Millbrae). Then there are the rich whites moving north to Palo Alto to escape the sprawl of San Jose/Sunn

Gilroy is the same distance from SF as Sacramento--and Stockton is closer. Also, Gilroy is not even in the SF Bay watershed. However, unlike many places in the Bay Area, it does boast a direct rail link to downtown SF. Not trying to exclude

I pay about $50 a month for internet, and none of that goes to the creators. The ISP transmits the bits but profits from others creating something that makes me want to be connected. My idea: ISPs become regulated like utilities (fixed rate

I hadn't heard of this institution before, so I was checking out their website. This whole brain injury risk must be why they limit access to women: https://www.cresta-run.com/ride-the-cresta/ride-the-cresta/

I'm a longtime user of hand-held GPS units for hiking and back-packing. Since before the time of wireless connectivity and social sports portals, these units have had USB cables and downloadable files--and fortunately still do. Garmin

Agreed, I've had 2 in that family and never a problem in the field. I just wish it had the larger screen like the Oregon series.

This isn't overly technical, but it's a good look behind the scenes at how the virtual race is being produced in real-time. TL;DR: just like everybody else, they use Zoom (and then some...) But what I find more striking is how a t

And Le Canard has excellent puns, better than The Economist’s, and risqué spoonerisms too, just in French.

I remembered slightly wrong, it was more complicated than that. A rather right leaning commenter said that if one were to accept that reparations for historical slavery requested by BLM and SJW were valid, then because African-Americans are

I think what you’re missing is that news stories like this are designed to connect the abstract (ideas in a blog) with real people. Many/most newspaper readers are interested in other people, relationships, who is doing what, and perso

Yes, I think this is a good idea. If your blog/hobby/project is just a side-gig to your main employment, I’m not sure national media scrutiny is desirable. If you wanted to go full-time as a writer or pundit/speaker, perhaps

Thanks for posting that. I like the creativity of the original post’s DIY solution, but I’m happy to see there is an engineered solution that is commercially available. That the solution is nearly identical to the DIY validates the OP’s des

You know what the French do with un-irradiated ground beef? They mix in a raw egg and some other spices and eat it raw. It’s called steak tartare ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_tartare ), and it’s pretty good. It
