I live in Colorado, but am from Melbourne, Australia. I told everyone the last time I went back that it will be the last visit. That trip is hellish and once every 2 years is still too much.

Really? I'm in Boulder, CO and we often have days of continuous strong winds. We're nowhere near a coast.

Do you need to set that up somehow? I use Firefox and UB Origin, and I get lots of ads.

We had a similar experience when living in NY with two small children. People would always offer to help, but one time in particular a woman grabbed the front of the stroller and started helping me down the subway stairs, then she looked b

That's quite common in Australia. Is it not in the US?

Same thing for me. I used to do it with friends when I was a teenager. Until they got the idea I was faking and let me hit the deck, expecting me to catch myself.

Yep, I started when I was 15. Quit many times, and finally managed to get off them about 10 years ago. But I could take it up again in a second, the thought of having one never completely goes away.

My wife is exactly the same, and has the same concern. She's convinced if we moved to England, she'll involuntarily pick up their accent in a few months.

One thing which I suppose isn't surprising, but still was amazing to see at scale, is I put a drop in Colorado that ended up in the Gulf of Mexico. As the camera followed the path, it's nothing but farms, with the odd city sprink

In people like these and haven't tried playing the game `Control`, you definitely should. It is very heavily inspired by the SCP project, and is a super fun and interesting game.

Really? Maybe that sort of money is available in Sydney. I never saw anything close to that level in Melbourne, particularly for a mid level developer. I've had to move to the US to make a decent wage.

I'm not a gardener at all, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out, should it? Get like 9 of the same plants at the same point in the life cycle, wash 3, leave 3 and do the 50\50 for 3. Compare results. If it's as big a deal

I lived in NY for about 4 years, and I'm still amazed by the similar things I saw. For example, one day my upstairs neighbour didn't feel like pulling up the drive way, so she just parked her car in the middle of our cramped, bus

I had a similar experience. I was flying to the US for a job interview, so I ticked the box that said I was seeking work. I was denied and missed my flight. I've been told I will never be eligible for and ESTA again. I got the job

Disco Elysium has it's roots in the old school point and click adventures, but has a more dynamic storyline. It would easily be the best point and click game I've ever played.

I've read similar things about how most programming work is just plumbing together existing code fairly regularly on HN. Is that really what most people do? Is it a web development thing? That's not my experience at all, and it
