I've thought about building a nice treehouse retreat on my property. It'd be a sweet way to avoid increasing property taxes but still have a guest room, or a library. But I live where there are bark scorpions, meaning at night the

People running WHOIS against kylesmith.com might discover that it's owned by someone named Kyle Smith. I'll actually offer my take: domain names under the US TLD are a shared, public good, and no one should be allowed to anonymous

There is, but at least in the US neither party cares. They want to get rid of anonymity online, one to throw anyone who googles "trans" in jail, and the other because their biggest donors are tech companies that want to denonymi

This is a false dichotomy. You don't need to acquire the expensive cards to play the game. I enjoyed Star Wars: CCG back at the turn of the millennium even though I didn't have any Yoda, Vader, Luke, etc. cards. I think I had a Ch

We're all hand-waving away the fact that there is no un-claimed farmland in the US. It's all owned already. You can't invent your way into possessing farmland. You will have to buy it from someone who no longer has any willin

Gotcha. So it's really just because of a failure of interop. CPUs don't support previous generation, so even if you don't need the RAM, you don't have a choice (assuming you need the latest CPU).
