Such a great album. Every time I scroll by it — right after John Hiat and right before John Mayer on the playlist — I give it a listen. This is an album my uncles told me to listen to after I started listening to Led Zeppelin so that I coul

Core Duos received software updates until October 2014… what was abandoned in 3 years?

Yea, no. HN is the pinnacle of UI as far as I am concerned. It is as simple as is necessary but not lacking in features. And the filtering/ranking of articles is top-notch. The only thing I miss, content wise, is political posts, becau

All that’s needed is a VPN and a torrent client. Membership is open to all. If you are on a Mac I recommend BiglyBT.

There’s a group of renegades doing their best to shore-up the shortcomings of current media retention and make sure such booty remains existent. You should join the crew!

Extending the tangent: The Fountain is a criminally underrated movie!

The big problem is smartphones with internet access, not cellphones. I was in high-school when cellphones really took off and while the occasional errant phone ring in class wasn’t uncommon nobody was compelled to be doom scrolling on socia

This is one reason I am grateful for having grown up in an apartment complex - I had ready access to loads of kids around my age, a field for baseball and football games, a cement area for wall-ball and four-square, and secret places to jus

I love seeing anything Nabokov related pop-up here; all of his books are lessons in how powerful fictional characters can be when crafted well. Read all of his books as soon as you can!

For a great example of fan edits, compare Harmey’s Despecialized Editions of Episodes 4, 5, and 6 to the butchered final copies that George tried to make be the only available versions; the Despecialized versions are astonishingly superior

I am thrilled to cross-paths with another TTNG fan online; I know a grand total of 1 fan outside of the internet. They are criminally underrated and I am praying that despite their years-long-silence we’ll get some new material and another

One of my favorite bands, TTNG, has a wicked good song inspired by this essay. If you like math-rock at all I reckon you’d enjoy it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dCKXg2scb_s&pp=ygUaaW4gcHJhaXN...

I experienced this 30 years ago and it still haunts me. In a fascinating way. Such cool creatures.

The loss was expected, and I think was noted as expected in the IPO filing; it lost a similar amount in 2022. Edit: clarity.

He has quite a few complete debates on Youtube that are equal parts informative and entertaining. I think the best is his opening statement and his arguments in the debate ‘Is the Catholic Church Truly a Force for Good?’ I’m still shocked t

I’ve been running this experiment for 42 years. No complaints so far.

Don’t they have a few GPS-only units now where all the hardware is in the ankle bracelet? I work criminal-law-adjacent and I feel like I see booths for them at conventions. If so, this sounds like a great opportunity for more vendor grift…

I mean, you can read all the data instead of relying on newscasters for scientific information. The first IPCC report came out in 1990 and, to my understanding, accurately predicted both a rise in average temperature and the resulting inc

And an even better book! If you thought it was impossible for an author to write hundreds of riveting pages about kids playing Hearts (the card game) in college, you are in for a surprise!

I think it depends on where you live. I live in Bend, Oregon, and lost pets are regularly found via Reddit posts. But this is a super-outdoorsy and dog friendly community, so people are outside a lot and like looking out for our furry frien

It was a fantastic first season. But it aired a year and a half ago and there is still no release date for season two, so any hype has subsided quite a bit. Season two was reportedly filmed in April/May of last year.

Even if we are predisposed to be fearful of spiders, so what? Not all spiders are the same, and jumping spiders are certainly 100% harmless to humans of all sizes. Why not work on promoting that experience and rationality override any (ofte

I take the opposite approach - any spider I see inside, even Black Widows, I carry outside in a cup. At least they then have a chance. And Widows will do their level best to nest somewhere far out-of-site and never bother you. I also encour

Tastes are pretty easy to remember - think of all the candy bars at a grocery store. Some you may have had only once or twice in your life but I bet most people know what most of the dozens and dozens of candy bars taste like and can recog

Don’t most modern cars, even ICE cars, both slow-down-to and speed-up-to the speed designated by cruise control? I know my Subaru does, and my old Audi did, and both of the two Ford Escapes I drive for work do.

“They’re going to keep the chickens in horrific conditions whether I buy the chickens or not, so I may as well buy them, becuase ‘yum!’ Chickens.” Your vote may be paltry, but it’s still your vote. Use it wisely. It matters.

So if you buy stolen goods from someone who bought the stolen goods from the thief, and you knew the goods were stolen, you are doing nothing unethical. That’s all you’re saying, which is a position you can have, but it is a sad one. And yo

Not only that, but your goal as a shareholder is to benefit financially from the company. If a company is a bad actor and you know it, you are expressly financing and benefitting from bad acts. I’m not sure why other commenters are trying t
