I tried doing that with my dogs, but it led to them being annoyingly clingy as their general dinner time approached because they knew they could be fed suddenly at any time. So I switched to using a phone alarm that marks when it's tim

Customizing your search results is a big part of it. When I tried Kagi, I did not find it to be a huge improvement on Google until I started adjusting the rankings of my search results. Now I find it painful to go back to Google when I use

I have accidentally signed up for Prime three times. Two of the times I realized it right away and immediately cancelled — but the third time, I just happened to notice several days later that I unexpectedly had access to Amazon Prime featu

At least for me, this is even worse. I would rather have a clear separation between the content being foisted on me and the content I'm there to actually see.

Taking her remains without the knowledge and consent of her next of kin is surely illegal. If I put a corpse in a warehouse for a year while the family was begging me to tell them where their loved one was, I would expect to face criminal n

I am an American and have lived most of my life in the US, but I have lived overseas for the last 12 years. My experience is that Americans are very insular and do not know much about other countries because American-owned new media focuses

Oh god, I hate nurses you make you prove your pain level. When I was a university student, my tonsils suddenly swelled up so much that I was unable to speak and I was having difficulty just breathing. I went to the university urgent care, a

That is potentially extremely dangerous for the person they mistook you for as well, and they would have NO way to notice it and fix it. Catching that mistake possibly saved both of your lives!

I don't totally follow how this is relevant to the thread? If you make your own game engine, you can design it to display the voxels however you wish. It seems odd to dismiss Minecraft-like games as unsellable when many Minecraft-like

My hunch (based on my personal experiences) is that these occur in different phases of sleep. I find that while I am falling asleep, I often have indescribable nonsense "hallucinations" (I hesitate to call them that because it mak

These unrealistic adventures may not be for training you how to deal with unrealistic adventures. These dreams could be serving a much lower-level purpose: training your brain's deeper inner workings that you do not have direct conscio

If a company is attractive to employees and they are motivated to do well there, I would not expect WFH to have this issue. Where I work, it's entirely up to us whether to work from home or go into the office. People who choose the off

This is likely only true for very poorly run companies — but a LOT of companies, especially big companies, are very poorly run. It would be a disaster if such a high percentage of employees at my company quit. But my company is very lean an

Please, please, please don't let your bees swarm unless you are 100% certain you have the support of local conservationists and professional beekeepers. Where I live, feral honeybees are an extremely damaging invasive species, causing

I can't speak for every location, but where I live, feral honeybees (escapes from beekeepers) out-compete many native pollinators. They also outcompete many native birds by taking their nesting sites (tree hollows, man-made bird houses

I strongly suspect that most of this is a consequence of declining democratic participation, especially at the local level. When most people don't vote, it makes the government beholden only to those few who do — and they tend not to b

That is a highly dubious opinion. I am not homeless and I never have been, but I would MUCH rather sleep in a car or a tent (placed in a spot of my choosing, near people I trust and away from people I distrust) than in a typical homeless sh

Don't forget that many have also been bred to be harvested out of season. There is a lot of money in being able to produce strawberries/tomatoes/etc. outside of peak strawberry/tonato/etc. season. They will taste aw

Many common insecticides work through a neurotoxic effect, particularly general insecticides that kill a wide range of insects and arachnids. You want to be very, very cautious using neurotoxic insecticides because most of them can cause ne

The brain is plastic, but it does not respond well to being hit with a brick wall. It needs reinforcement in the direction you want it to go. For example, you treat a phobia through gradual exposure to the source of fear, not through underg

Polling data of economists is not enough for you? The polls even have commentary where many of the economists precisely explain why they answered the surveys as they did. I formed my understanding of economists' opinions on policy by r

It is quite effective for me, but I suspect that I am a slow metabolizer because even a small amount (less than a cup of coffee) can still have lingering effects the next day. However, it does not affect me quite like it affects most people
