Okay, I love this article, but I literally couldn't finish it until I found an example of Sanatan Dinda's art. Here's an entry from the 2015 World Bodypainting Festival, the first year he won (I believe): https://

Available in sheets, yes; perforated, no. Woz had them perforated at the printer when he had them bound into pads. That's why, I assume, the repeated mention of the agent running his fingers over the perforations.

I suspect that saving the cost of managing AmazonSmile is the primary motivator. That's a lot of overhead! Two thousand pages of charities, most of which are collecting less than $30. I'd bet there are hundreds, if not thousan

This seems more like an attempt to punish the rich for their privilege than to solve an actual problem. I won't argue that private jets are more polluting than other forms of transportation, but the solution is to tax all forms of tr

Cautiously optimistic for this one because of the subject matter, though I've been disappointed in previous posthumous release and collaborations from Crichton. Couldn't read the WSJ article (paywall), but here's a Guardian r

Seconding "impromptu theater." Or, as I was going to say, improv comedy. Improv will make you much more comfortable with 1) trusting your instincts, 2) keeping your cool when you can't immediately think of what to say or get

In my (limited) experience, playing with poetry, not code, it either 1) asserts that it's solution is correct, or it gives a slightly modified response and claims it has solved the problem. Here's one example: PROMPT: write a li

Into Thin Air is fantastic. There's a follow up book by Anatoli Boukreev, one of the expedition guides, who comes off particularly badly in Krakauer's book. Unfortunately he comes off even worse in is own book. [1] https:/&#
