Reading this, I thought some madman was milking a Cape water buffalo, which have been known to beat lions in 1-v-1 fights, and is only capable of one emotion: murder. But turns out this milk is from the Asian water buffalo, which is even

This only makes sense if the corruption is in the same corp that's doing the reporting. Corporations have an incentive to undercut one another and compete. They'll only band together when something affects them all at the same tim

It's because the "install app" option is styled to look like the "go away" option. I fell for the same trick many times; now I use Perplexity.

If you just need a place to store your code, self-hosted Gitea is very easy. Your discoverability will drop to close to zero, and Actions are trickier to set up. Plus, you'll have to come up with a backup plan. But, you'll be host

I strongly believed this until the moment I saw the live ultrasound of my then unborn son. He moved and stretched exactly like he does now.

Yes, or even just a simple distribution chart, which makes intuitive sense to someone who might not know about percentiles.

This is a good argument. It’s hard to be wise about what one might like or dislike in possible lifestyle choices. But there are some possible enlightening questions for this and other brain-stem-level experiences like marriage and babies: -

The problem isn't conservatism / liberalism, it's authoritarianism. I'm conservative and I feel exactly as you do about this type of judge and judgement.

That's why you have to allow large-scale building everywhere. Then the market will find its own level. The inverse of this situation is that everyone lives somewhere they consider unpleasant because the rent is affordable there. The me

Incredible, in the 90's I could barely take a picture of my dog in broad daylight, and it cost money for the film, and I had to wait forever to get the photos back, and then the dog was blurry. BTW your yogile album is private.

I find that photos from a prime look better in some undefinable way. Maybe it's because there's more light coming through, or maybe it's just easier for them to make a prime with great optics than a zoom with great optics. I

I bought a Canon RP which came with a 24-105mm zoom. I think it was CAD 1000 a couple of years ago, but it looks like that has inflated to around double now. I went with the recommendation of Ken Rockwell who is both experienced and opinion

I love the idea of that 90mm prime. But usually when I have passers-by take photos, the context is that we are posing in front of a church in Europe or something, and space can be limited. I can't very well ask people to take a photo a

My entry-level mirrorless camera with its kit lens can take photos that blow my recent-model iPhone out of the water. Add a nice lens and there's no comparison. However: - The iPhone is always in my pocket (until I crack and buy a flip
