Agreed. I was disappointed too. This just feels like another “use Linux, big corps suck” article.

We pushed hard for geothermal. But the quotes for the wells we needed were around $40,000-$75,000, and all of the installers seemed highly uncertain and preferred air-based units. So that's what we eventually went with.

I don't think that's the problem. The problem is "publish or perish" and the fact that survival and job advancement depend on quantity over quality of publications. That drives a huge demand to be published, and the purp

Our Miele dishwasher has been spectacular over the last 3-4 years - one of my favorite appliance purchases ever. I was less impressed with their standing vacuum, honestly. It held up OK but frequently jammed and had little issues. We eventu

Why can’t “more rotors” be another solution?

This is a great idea. It might be even better to block them at the DNS level via a hosts file or similar, so that you don't waste your time when an otherwise trusted site links you to them.

Huh? With a family of 7, in a relatively upscale area, we usually hit around $300, and rarely get $400. What are you buying?

Yeah it's just not meant to do that. That's how these apps have worked for over a decade. Obsidian is far from the first app to work this way. Notational Velocity, nvalt, Bear, Ulysses - they all worked that way IIRC. Having used

This doesn't bother me. If there was a FOSS alternative I'd be all for it. But I can't fault them for charging for good software.

Or, you know, happily run you right into a tractor trailor or highway divider.

You're getting downvoted, but I kind of agree. That's a terrible name for a company that has nothing to do with cockroaches. They might as well call themselves "Garbage Labs" or "Refuse Labs."

I laughed when I saw the headline. Inspections could help catch some issues but it sounds like the problems run so much deeper than that.

I'm also American. I'll jump for the self checkout if there is an open one, but if there is a line for self-checkout, I'm going for a register. The self-checkout lines move so much slower than the regular cashier lines, becau

Not only that, it shows that you understand and care about what matters (the success of the company).

I think a lot of society has decided that most teenagers under 18 don’t have the capacity to decide whether or not to use addictive substances, and are sometimes in environments that encourage bad decision making. This is a new delivery mec

by D13Fd 3y ago
It’s addictive, it costs money, and it makes you feel worse when you are not using it. I think that’s enough to say it’s harmful, although it’s every adult’s right to choose whether they want to use it or not.

Maybe they realize that blocking ads punishes content creators and they are against that? The reason we can have content that is not AI-generated junk is that someone somewhere pays for it. If everyone runs uBlock then ad revenue will go t

Yeah. This sounds like the presentation requirement (ridiculous as it is) worked to filter someone based on unethical behavior.

Invented or not, it’s annoying when someone assumes people reading their comment will know what an acronym from another field means.

Yes. It’s less common but looks unremarkable to me.
