This seems a little bit like Reccatier in that you're going into a dungeon to get things to sell in a shop you manage. I'm very excited for it!

I switched from Android to iPhone a few years ago and certainly don't miss having to sort through a sea of models when looking for something new. I keep all my old devices to use for hobby projects, so I appreciate the longevity of upd

No. Magsafe is a different port. The magsafe cable is magsafe on one end, usb-c on the other. The magsafe end being the bit that pushes power out.

That seems like it would be difficult data to gather. Reduced availability certainly can reduce demand by itself, somebody might give up if the thing isn't available after a while. I, for instance, would love to upgrade if I could get

It's a remarkably poorly insulated 5 bedroom home with a purely global temperature control (i.e. she can't just cool / heat her bedroom). I gave her a bunch of money to do renovations so hopefully that goes down significantly

People use horse dewormer to treat covid, it's really not surprising that they'd inject shroom juice. If you want to learn about one case of this, there's a doctor on YouTube that does great narrative style videos of things l

Absolutely. Everybody I know who has done shrooms in a responsible manner (starting small to test tolerances, having a sober friend as spotter) has usually had a great time and never had a bad trip become a tragedy. Also, for the love of go

We use technologically hidden costs to make up for a lot of the difference. For instance, European homes seem to be built to self-regulate temperature much more effectively than American homes are. Americans then make up for the difference

True. Personally I'd be happy with that myself, but that definitionally makes me a non-vegan

by Slippery_John 5y ago
Vegan doesn't follow from ethical. While this would technically qualify as vegan, most people also have a pretty strong stance against cannibalism even if voluntary.

by Slippery_John 5y ago
Veganism as an ethical principle is very simple - the use of any products created from or by animals is unethical. Since you still have to get your stem cells and fetal serum from somewhere, cultured meat isn't vegan. Even if you manag

> The other big players have been moving in that direction Not so, TikTok actively lets you download videos in a convenient format. I think that helped it grow too, since they embed a watermark and add a splash screen at the end. Certain

I've had the taskbar at the top of the screen for well over ten years. When I want to know the time I look in the top right corner, same as on my mac. Tray icons are also in that same corner, just like on mac. Sure mac dock can't

A recent Windows update caused frequent BSODs with a fun variety of error codes. This would happen fast enough that I couldn't even roll back the update. So I had to wipe my hard drive and re-install the entire OS from a flash drive. I

The goose brand is less spicy and is WAY sweeter. I had my family in the states send me some of the Huy Fong stuff because I couldn't stand the sweetness of the goose brand.

This. My parents never let me have soda or juice when I was just thirsty. That probably had more to do with saving money than health, but the constant repetition of "if you're thirsty, drink water" has been etched into my sou

As an American abroad I'm very jealous. I've strongly considered flying back to the states to get vaccinated.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. I got an apple watch that I wear all the time and I occasionally find the data interesting. For instance, I was able to see in absolute terms just how much cutting out coffee improved my sleep (went

Costs aside, lets not pretend the viaduct was removed just to improve property values. The thing was a ticking time bomb that would have killed dozens or hundreds of people the next time a moderately sized earthquake hit, to say nothing of

There's plenty of space. I've walked by countless empty lots and abandoned buildings that could easily fit dozens or hundreds of new apartments. I'm sure there's plenty of ridiculous legal challenges to actually building

Why would she care so much - she's not living there anymore and isn't renting it so she'll never have to deal with them again.

It's not that simple. Buying $500k of stocks does not mean you gave $500k to a company to use unless the stocks were bought directly from them. More likely it was bought from another investor with cold feet, and at best the company ben

One thing that I would really like to see is a sort of hybrid between Factorio and a colony type game. Imagine that instead of crash landing by yourself, you crash land with an entire group of people that you have to protect and provide for

Well it doesn't really matter if a word is borrowed from another language. A loan word is still a word. Ketchup and tycoon are English words, garage is an English word, schadenfreude is an English word. The fact that these are also wor

This is not disposable emails, this is plus addressing. Plus addressing is only useful so long as everybody plays nice. Back when I used gmail I noted several services that would either not accept an email with a plus or that would strip it

Apple TV doesn't really have the kind of catalog that netflix does, but a lot of their unique shows are excellent. The Morning Show and For All Mankind in particular were fantastic.
