There's a lot of wasted space on the right side of this keyboard where they could have easily put the Del/PgUp/PgDn keys right there. I don't know why they didn't.

Even if the AI could tell the difference between a cardboard cutout and a human, I still wouldn't want my car to run over a cardboard cutout, or a box, or anything else on the road. I don't trust it because I know first-hand that

The proper remedy for bad governance is to elect different public officials to represent you. Jury nullification is far too weak, even as tinfoil hats go. Sure it's a thing and it's not illegal. It's just silly and unstable,

I would just like a manual filter. If I search for "rechargeable AA batteries" I get dozens of entries. It would be so much easier if I could manually click off the ones I know are not what I want. Like the multitude of AAA rechar

You're lucky. On multiple occasions I've had rocks and leaves blown into my face by one of these people, while I'm driving in a convertible car with the top down.

We have an oil-based economy. It is impossible to raise the price of gas & diesel for an extended period of time without triggering a recession. I don't know why we focus so much on interest rates and politicians when it's oil

I would define diversity as a representative sample of the population and time in which the organization is situated. In this case, the US 2020 census. If it's good enough for the US Constitution and for Congressional representation, i

Go and live out in the country for a few months. Take nothing with you but the clothes on your back. You'll be amazed. You don't really need all the stuff you think you need. From my perspective growing up in the 70's if you

A new 5.11 Tactical store went up near my home. I had no desire to go in there, because I assumed it was a gun store.

Maybe it would help to criticize the criticism. I think the current criticism is way oversimplified. It's not a social media problem per se. It's the current implementation and monetization of it. We have always had social media o

I believe when the entire global economy is wholly dependent on a single resource (oil) and that resource experiences even the slightest disturbance, whatever you believe is the cause of it, the most likely outcome is a global recession.

And yet pro events and Disney consistently sell out or are packed. So there must be additional complicating factors at work here.

I feel like news is an example of something that actually did work better 30 years ago. Is that just because I was young and everything seemed better?

Just because laws might be broken or abused, that's not a good enough reason not to have laws. This law is meant to lower the temperature in situations that are already stressful enough without someone getting in the cop's face w

You can defeat this law by detailing everything you're giving away for free including parking, ketchup packets, napkins, EV charging, etc.. Then it will become just some extra government-mandated printing that nobody reads, like the st

Ha! Thanks for this idea. When I was on Spotify I already was listening to more music anyway, because Spotify just has more music on it period. I switched to Apple Music (family reasons), but half of what I used to listen to on Spotify isn&

To be fair, a lot of US employers talk to their employees this way over email. In person they're slightly less abusive but still on that side of the line. Part of the reason for the massive amounts of quitting and very low productivity

My eyes are getting worse every year, knees, ears, hair, memory. All the senses. Pretty much everything getting worse and worse. Only choice is to keep reminding myself, it's better than the alternative.

Airing it in public isn't going to work for him. I had similar kinds of problems. Nothing I said or did worked so I just stopped talking about it. My mom would call me and I would politely talk to her about the weather and things like

I was much more traumatized being forced to attend Sunday school against my will than I was that one day we found a book about sex at the public library. It even had illustrations. That was much more joy than I ever got from Jesus brainwash

I feel bad because he spent a lot of time building up a case for it to be ruined from it all resting on this one really shaky foundation. I feel like this probably happens often in science.

Interesting. So dark money can remain secret, but on Twitter you'll be forced to doc yourself to prove you're human. I don't see how that's improved anything.

The benefit of living in a non-democracy is that you don't need to be informed. You can spend all your time on making money and spending money, and that's your life. No worries. But if you live in a democracy, you have to spend so

You're saying actually the opposite of confidence (hesitancy) is something that might look like complacency to one person but it's actually just being conservative, making sure you stay on that rope. Good point. Thanks!

My anecdotal evidence is the opposite of this. At 53 I'm constantly learning new technologies and trying to get my younger colleagues to adopt them, but they refuse. I assume (without proof) that this is because of their limited experi
