No worries. Just thought I'd answer in detail rather than hand-waving so that anyone who was reading might understand where I was coming from rather than just looking for an argument on the internet :)

I'm not sure if you've been following the space, but innovation in the digital hamster wheel space has exploded. Might be worth a kickstarter or two.

That was certainly the bet about a decade or two ago in many industries. Now, over the past 5 years or so we're seeing online tech magazines move into print[0], record labels racing to get back up to speed for vinyl printing[1], and &q

Many towns' library systems do giveaways as well. My old hometown's system used to do a semi-regular culling at the yearly mini arts & crafts fest in the park. They'd lay out 5 long rows of tables and cover them in old bo

100%. My half-kidding "end of the world/zombie apocalypse" plan was always to pile some food into Robarts Library (Toronto) and gather the books I'd need to make it. 1) Endless knowledge 2) It's a bloody fortress Ki

I normally avoid Twitter et al, but I like their Twitter account.

I was about to share this with some folks at work, but mind the screen grab. It's funny, but you might be a bit red-faced if you share it around with your office—culture-depending. Tell me more.

Having worked with writers in these very fields, I can assure you they write with the intention that you read the entire article and anything but reading the entire article is an unintended incomplete communication. A protocol broken, if yo

I lost a significant portion of my pancreas to necrosis and subsequently went into multiple organ failure—all out of the blue. Almost killed me last June/July. I was told, while lacking a concerted diagnosis, that the only reason I sur

Sidenote: I wish I could find good, or even any , low-fat options these days. They all seemed to have been left in the 90's. I had to even quit the seed-filled breads I loved because of my troubled pancreas (non-diabetic). I miss whol

We use Dokku on the regular for a number of small services at work. It was a little strange being new to it, but it's been great. Kudos to him.

No kidding. I have a 40+ year old 565 my uncle gave to me that he got from god knows where. I’ve taken it all over the place, hell and back and it’s just still great. It even records well. https://www.gearslutz.com/gear&#x2F

Can't say I inherited any audio equipment from my parents. Appreciation skipped a generation. But I've had my AKG K240's for years and they're tireless. Not suitable so much for running around town, but they've been

Thanks for this. I'll look into it. I never dug deeper into the interface than: does it work with my phone and ... does it work. It has done both so far, but if I can add CarPlay I'll do that.

by 52-6F-62 6y ago
Hahaha, oh thanks for posting this. We bought a gently used 2018 Corolla just this past autumn. The interface isn't all that bad, I have to say. And it works seamlessly with my phone. But if I can sort out CarPlay... I just might have

Just to add general interest info to this strain of the conversation: I had to work with Apple in ensuring content for the launch of News+ in Canada after they bought out Next Issue/Texture, and they were very involved and the incentiv

Reminds me of Radiohead's [official] efforts: https://www.radiohead.com/library/ I can't remember what their old club was called. I remember being a member of that used to unlock a real trove. But their old w

I don't think it's that. More that Apple in this case is the old "devil you know".

I think you've got a point there, if I'm reading you correctly: If Robinhood (et al—sorry RH you're the de facto stand-in now) can't meet the standard of keeping up with the ... other cars in the race... then they should

My worst experiences have always been somewhat related to this. They need an engineer, but think they only need an operator, and they schedule (and sometimes pay) accordingly.

I'm saying the oil is not labelled 10-40W, but is actually 2-cycle motor oil and they put it in their car anyway. I'm an outsider, but that's how this appears to me. They weren't lied to, they misjudged—and mainly becaus

by 52-6F-62 6y ago
But they didn't. The oil just sat on the shelf, and they picked it out because it was free.

No, it was a lesson I've learned hard in my own life. When I was younger I was caught up in the pinch of the 2008 market. I had to quit university and move across the country to find some work. I harboured a lot of bitterness and built

The fund and it's investors may lose a lot. The people running the fund will not. But it's important to remember that it's a matter of scale here. Billions is a lot to a midwestern retail worker who put half his rent check in

If you put the wrong oil in your car because you got it for free, and your engine failed then whose fault is it? If it's the wrong grade then it's the wrong oil, even if it says it's "high performance*". I'm a

I can't see how that's the case. They aren't going to suffer for this, let alone personally. Even if the fund tanks, they can set up a new one, probably with sympathetic money or just cruise off into the sunset with their mil

The answer is next to your question (also in the clause "as much as"). Also spoken as "an eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind"
