Well, it wasn't just breakfast, it was everything that I might consider "today" stacked on top of each other. So if I had a mental list of "things to do today", that just got longer. It was my mind was cluttered.

Went through 2 weeks of insomnia after living on a ship for a while, then back on land for 2 weeks, then back on ship for 6 months -- was normal after finally returning. Maximum 1 hour sleep for 2 weeks straight, most nights none. The thin

I appreciate this as darkly humorous, but there is the off chance they send the police around to check on you.

I used to tell the newspaper I was moving to Madagascar because they wouldn't have that on their script. Now they'll just push the electronic edition. One of the big problems is the CSR's only have incentives to retain peopl

Maybe, maybe not, and that is the problem. There is a phrase "the process is the punishment". So they arrest you, and you drag you through the system, you hire a lawyer, lose days at work, etc... You're out several thousan

Yes, being "in sunlight" and seeing reflected light from the sun are two different things.

"begging the question" is only wrong when you apply it to the wrong logical fallacy. Otherwise, it is just a descriptive phrase that really makes more sense than "raises the question", IMO. There really is no official b

The funny thing is that going into a game where someone absolutely hates me (confined to the game), it was easy to get others to see them as being weak. The more people who hated me in Diplomacy, the easier the game became.

You have too much faith. My predicted path is they can get the cars to report on themselves or each other and automate the fines.

I can work fully remote for a company in San Francisco and make 75% of their in-office wages, but 150% of my local in-office wages. Remote companies can draw talent from everywhere, but also have a lot more competition from every company on

Big thing for code reviews with junior developers: Show them where they've done something right. They'll keep doing it that way. Ideally this is done in person, and when you give them a "good job on this", it really t

The NBA players union is much more of a cartel (maybe trade guild?) than a union. What they definitely aren't is a union representing the employees of the NBA. They are a tiny minority of the employees, who take only for themselves.

"Please be aware that this lock is only a demonstration of the mechanism, and cannot be used to secure doors, chains, or anything else." So, not actual implementation of a lock.

And, like TED, there is no actual implementation in existence.

You're right. It's far more powerful than posting. Maybe they should be paying to be moderators, since they get extra influence over the conversations.

Could such an effort be challenged and go through the courts? Would the decision of whether it could be challenged go through the courts?

There are a large number of good movies on Netflix. It may not turn over as quickly as HBO's content, but the number of them is probably comparable. Try scrolling through some of the major categories and keep count of the "good&

Around 10 years out the glue will fail, seemingly all at once. I have boots 20+ years old which are still great (stitched and nailed), but all the old shoes just fall apart wherever they were glued (the sole usually). You can try to reglu

For those who haven't tried it, you can mount the output of OBS as a camera, which can be used as input for something like Zoom. So you can add graphics, multiple angles, switch between different views, etc...

We can start by rolling back the modern entrenchments that have only made it worse. I would be absolutely shocked if this were only a 200 year old problem and there wasn't modern legislation basically gifting free water to special int
