Maybe I'm just a nostalgic old geezer, but that was kind of socialising was my favourite thing about the internet. It's a shame I haven't been able to experience it in over a decade. It was so incredibly easy to find and ta

Sure, but how do you prevent things like TP -- or the previous user -- from contaminating the sample?

I took a vitamin D supplement once, and had the worst migraine of my life hours later. Could have been a coincidence, but I'm in no rush to repeat the experience :-(

Switch firefox to reader mode (the book icon in the address bar), that seems to fix it.

The toilet and the stomach bacteria rarely encounter one another, unless you throw up on a regular basis. You're probably referring to gut bacteria, which live in your colon. It's true that a lot of research is being done towards

There was a brief dip in share price earlier today, but it seems to be recovering already. Broadcom's offer was a pretty generous one, and if they were to make it to minority shareholders, they'd probably be successful. Unsure how

Have you done/read any studies on people's telephone behaviour? No? Then how can you speculate about what does and doesn't fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean?

Could you elaborate on this?

Take that with a grain of salt. Coffee is a diuretic, but unless you're drinking very strong syrupy stuff, it should contain more water than it makes you pee.

Pray tell, why isn't that normal? And why are you qualified to decide what is, or isn't, normal?

Have you considered not diagnosing mental illnesses in HN comments? Let alone offering "treatment advice" on a case you know nothing about, without having spoken to the person in question?

While that sort of thing was seen as being "too western" in the east, it was seen as being "queer" or "communist" in the west. The cold war era was very weird on both sides of the wall.

My grandfather did this. One day he set out to go for a walk in his wee forest, only to discover that all the trees had been stolen . That's pretty much the thing holding me back from buying a small forested plot.

Ah yes, life without flying must be so dull. Is that what you're implying? Seems rather silly.

I've been on a plane exactlt twice in my life. It's pretty easy not to fly.

Land of the free, indeed. In all seriousness, if anyone tells you you can't have a thriving eco system in your yard, fight them on every level. Manicured lawns should be outlawed, not encouraged.

Sure, but 3k USD/month in Greece is a fortune.

Not heard of yee and will investigate, thanks! I really dislike hue. Their lights are pretty inefficient (compared to dumb leds) and rely on zigbee and a wifi bridge. Would much rather have something like this using PoE lights. But I suppos

Interesting. You've got me wondering whether it would be feasible and useful to hook up all lights in the room and adjust their brightness and colour temperature as the day progresses.

Yeah, but the obstactles they're removing are those very same pawns.

Aren't ghostery the ones who sell your personal info and allow advertisers to pay them to get on a whitelist? UBlock Origin is my recommendation.

Why are you at the office? To chat? Or to get work done? They are sometimes mutually exclusive.

Mokuso, 黙想, "idea of silence", pretty much translates to "meditation".

I'm having a really hard time getting my friends to email me. They want me to use awful garbage like FB Messenger or Whatsapp instead.

They didn't even chuckle when he said the working name was BFR ... did none of them get it? Pff.

I frequently sneeze with so much force that I pop a little vein in my eyes. I even bruised a rib sneezing once. Anything that can help mitigate this is great in my book.
