You could have taken a more curious approach on responding instead of a thinly veiled insult.

I agree it's interesting. But back then (I'm 34) we only had desktop computers so the distraction time was limited. I remember being forced to take a typing class my senior year in HS, at which point I was already a very proficie

I think the second paragraph is poorly written > America’s cows are now extraordinarily productive. In 2024, just 9.3 million cows will produce 226 billion pounds of milk (about 100 million tons) – enough milk to provide ten percent of 3

The only hypothesis that makes sense to me is that there is something very dangerous on the loose that is being searched for, such as nuclear material. The highest authorities don't want to cause panic so they are executing a search t

You're right that car centric transportation is entrenched, but this is the wrong statistic to prove that point. The US is a huge country and the overall density of roads (km/100km2) is lower than Europe. https://en.wi

Amazing that Minneapolis tops the city road quality chart, despite having the harshest winters. Do southern cities not build their roads so robustly? Or are they not maintained?

I tried o1-preview on chatgpt and asked it to count the "r" in "strawberry" and "o" in "troubleshooting" and it got both immediately. It was also able to count the vowels in each.

To me the main benefit of Python is the standard library. You can do a lot with it without any additional packages. Things get tricky when you have a lot of external packages in rust or Python.

People seem to miss the forest for the trees here. The goal is to get a base on the moon, and this is the first step. Starship will eventually be bringing lots and lots of cargo to the moon for this purpose. Bringing people there for a fe

I saw one like this 15 years ago. It was terrifying as I was alone in a forested area and I had no idea what it was at first. But then the sonic boom that lasted for minutes was even more disconcerting.

The reliability of mid grade appliances is trash. You can expect a new range to maybe last 10 years on average. An electric/induction stove will be so costly to repair you might as well buy a new one. A gas stove has much less compl

We're remodeling a rental and having a gas stove is a big plus versus alternatives. Electric is poor for cooking and induction requires new pots and pans.

Non alcoholic drinks are becoming a lot more prevalent where I live, which is maybe surprisingly Wisconsin. It's a welcomed change for those of us that want to drink socially but not get drunk.

As an "ultimate" (frisbee) player, calling a game based on disc golf "ultimate ascent" makes me cringe a bit! I can't tell you how many people mistake ultimate for disc golf.

EMPShield[1] claims to make products that can protect against events such as lightning strikes and high-altitude nuclear explosions that generate EMPs. As an EE I find the design, theory, and testing[2] extremely questionable. It seems th

I think my productivity would 2x or 3x if gitlab would work on fixing issues with core features such as task planning. There's a lot of minimum viable features that never got improved, especially for those of us on the premium tier. A
