The Great Gatsby was the only book I had to read in high school that connected with me in any lasting way. What I get out of the text has changed considerably over the years, but that doesn't make my high school self's interpretat

If it's antithetical, why do open source projects tend to have cute little mascots?

Just need a gate that exerts tension when it's opened, so it'll drift back to closed if someone forgets. I've crossed a lot of back-country gates, never seen a wild breakdown of the system.

My iPhone 8 battery doesn't even have tens of hours of STANDBY time anymore. I can definitely see an older phone battery having trouble with a long call.

I get some annoyingly perfect ads for Amazon and Mercari, but neither of them will actually direct you to that product when you click, so it never quite works out for them.

My experience has been very different. I use an Alexa purely to control lights and set alarms, and have enough misses at just those tasks that I don't consider it particularly good at them. I'd take a literal clapper that hooked i

I'm somewhere inbetween, which honestly just means that I'm a bad touch typist. I don't hunt-and-peck, but I'm also not perfectly keeping at rest on the home row. The result is mostly touch-typing, but if I don't ha

Yeah, it called out Todd Barry as one of the most listened to things, and I haven't listened to comedy on Spotify since I started listening to a weekly stable of podcasts like six years ago.

Clipping here, which definitely made sense.

Was that the implication? I got more of a "Of course they will monetize it, that's how corporations handle assets" vibe. Because monetize is a meaningless word here. Unless Google suddenly decides to go against their fiduciar

The inference is obvious, I assume the poster is looking for actual data.

Why did you compare the smaller company in 1980 to the larger company in 2020? Surely if you wanted to really drive your point home, you'd do it the other way around. The way it is, you've just made it much harder to actually comp

Oh, huh. I definitely experience all of those, though only the photophobia is really constant. I've also got a photic sneeze reflex, so I had just always chalked those two together as a sensitivity to direct sunlight, and didn't e

I grew up in a trailer park that exited onto a highway. The parts with the intersecting streets were a 35 or maybe even 25 zone, but within a half mile in either direction it was at 55, so the traffic coming through was particularly unpredi

Perhaps just that the topic of road safety has been discussed for millennia? I doubt they are arguing for the restoration of Mongol rule, if that's what you're worried about.

Yeah, but I'll also take a sketchy crowd in the Tenderloin at 10pm over being in the Richmond at 1am with nobody around except that one car that keeps circling the blocks.

I was reading a conversation trying to work out the most information that you could fit into a one word command (the limit of the Dungeons and Dragons Command spell.) Italian was floated as the language that could be stretched the furthest,
