They're awful. 95% of the time it's stock questions and stock answers. The only time they're entertaining is when it's someone like the Patriots' head coach Bill Belichick. He very clearly hates stupid questions but

If you use their modem/router and don't explicitly disable it, yes. One of the many reasons I use my own hardware.

I bought an Instinct about a month ago and love it. I like the G-Shock aesthetic which I know isn't for everyone but it's everything I want in a watch. The battery life is amazing as you said. I charge it once a week and even regu

Rodney Mullen is an interesting guy. I highly recommend his autobiography if you haven't read it. When he was entering freestyle competitions early on it was never a question of who would win but rather who would come in second behind

At some point the price will be worth it to put cell modems in almost everything. A permanent internet connection for all of your devices/appliances that can't be disabled without putting it in a Faraday cage or physically destroy

I feel like a luddite sometimes. I want to limit as much as possible how many devices I own that have access to the internet. My computer(s), HTPC, phone, game consoles, and that's it. There's no reason anything else ever needs in

Mandated Constitutional carry is probably a pipe dream. If SCOTUS rules against New York (and that isn't guaranteed by any means) I would expect that they tackle the "good cause" requirements that many states have for permits

It's 20 years old, open world games tend to age poorly. I loved Morrowind when it came out but I tried playing it again a few years ago and it wasn't great.

How to Make Everything did something similar with a chicken sandwich. https://youtu.be/URvWSsAgtJE Though he didnt use quite as extreme a definition of "from scratch." Everything in the sandwich did appear to be m

I was kind of surprised at how simple it was to cancel my Netflix account. I was even going to fill out the standard "why are you leaving?" box because I had some strong opinions on changes they had made but they didn't even

Scott has addressed this at least a few times. He didn't care so much that people could go from Scott Alexander the blogger to Scott Siskind the psychiatrist. That was trivial to do before the NYT got involved. He was more worried abou

I've been cycling through free services that create a feed from a webpage. The latest one I'm using is PolitePol. https://politepol.com/en/ The free version of it meets my needs perfectly.

I use RSS feeds for Reuters's business section for business and finance news and the AP for general news. I guess I don't know how either of them handle retractions or updates but I like my news to be as dispassionate as possible

Gun owners already don't have a seat at the table when it comes to gun control laws. There is no room for discussion, no give and take, just take.

Yes, other search engines can pay for access to Bing's results. DDG isn't just straight Bing results, though, it compiles results from a number of different sources (including their own), with Bing being the primary source.

I read the short story several years after seeing the movie and I was completely blown away by how good it was even though I already knew how it would play out. Far and away the best short story I've ever read and it isn't even cl

I've had a 1TB monthly cap here in Minnesota for several years now. Luckily I live alone and I rarely hit the cap, and they give me one "courtesy" month a year where I can exceed the cap without penalty. Sad to see them rolli

Threats of imminent violence are illegal in the US. False accusations fall under libel laws and are a lot murkier.

Previous record holders have used people in planes to scout for police. I'd imagine they did something similar. GPS systems that let people report speed traps probably help a lot too.
