This seems silly? a) Plants need to be carefully picked for their habitat/location/which room in the house etc b) Plants need varying amounts of care c) 1 a month quickly scales to unwieldy numbers if you are able to keep your pla

I work at a WeWork in London, which one is your wife going to, that sounds insane... Ours just has bathrooms & coffee machines that are offline for weeks at a time.

Agreed. I love that he doesn't dumb himself down but still manages to make the content relatable/understandable.

John Carmack is the perfect ultra nerd for this format. He's so good at communicating complex ideas, to the point that even less-informed people will enjoy this podcast. Dude's a hero.

Sorry that your jokes aren't landing. But seriously, repeating a 3 letter tag line to fit in is not "comedy". I also don't think Joe is very funny, though a lot of his guests/friend circle is (Tom Segura, Christina

I read the article, thought it was interesting, spent a bit too much time ranting about Alex Jones, when in reality he makes up < 0.01% of JRE's podcast. Joe Rogan just gets out of the way and let's people say their piece. He&#

Right, I "know" what to do; but I don't know if it's "right" for me to get involved. Appreciate the link; I'll report it tonight.

Council flats are like "government subsidized living". Letting it out (aka renting it out), is taking money from the government, intended to help you shelter your family, and using it to turn a profit.

I live in a building in Central London (Soho) that has 12 flats. We pay market rate for ours, that is supposed to help the housing association offset the cost of some of the other flats that are designated as social housing. Most of these f

I have no need for your parts, but cheers for keeping a line of products out of landfill for a little while longer.

I don't think someone is born a criminal. If that's the case, its cultural and can be influenced.

$3 in Apple's bag for no work or effort at all I agree with most of what you said, but come on. Running (one of?) the biggest software distribution and payment processing systems on the planet is hardly "no work or effort

// `http.get()` returns an optional string. // V optionals combine the features of Rust's Option<T> and Result<T>. // We must unwrap all optionals with `or`, otherwise V will complain.

I did not know this, that is interesting. As in, the OS driver for the USB controller? Feels like a lot.

I have 2 pairs of the same Nudie Jeans, in the exact size and cut I like. They offer free repairs for life and are not exactly that expensive. Highly recommend, wasting clothes is a serious problem.

Hmm this is a good point, I imagine just by sheer volume it must be well supported. I would've assumed the Intel BT chipsets and the Macbook Pro ones would've been as well, though perhaps I had duds.

I'm wondering about the technical issues they have with on-board bluetooth, specifically saying they only provide support for a USB dongle, and not on-board BT. I have routinely, with multiple computers seen that on-board BT has been f

This is an excellent pivot of the original question, and I think the obvious answer for most answers is yes.

Innocence and vulnerability = ability to defend themselves. There's something inherently wrong about harming something that is incapable of defending themselves. I imagine it's the same instinct that makes humans root for the unde

This comes closest to how I feel. You are responsible for your dog, unlike a stranger. The dog trusts you entirely and would do anything for you.

In the interest of open discussion; what heuristic do you use to value "life"? I use a combination of innocence, vulnerability, consciousness and intelligence. E.g a baby life is worth more than a 40 year old's. There's

It's not constructive to call people crazy =\ This is a fairly divisive issue (what my original comment was about), and further ostracizing either side of the debate is not productive.

Sure, that's a financial/legal thing though, which is fairly detached from human emotion.

I have family friends who were unable to conceive. They have had border collies all their lives, who were all astonishingly clever (not just "tricks", but just with intuition etc). These dogs are basically their children. The &quo

As someone who has lost friends and family members, as well as pets, it feels the same. I see this dichotomy quite a bit in the public discourse, regarding dogs especially, where 1/2 the world treats dogs as family and the other half t
