Do you support Markdown? I don't see any evidence of that, but it would seem to be a perfect fit, allowing users to skip a lot of editing/refining on the website and stick exclusively to paper.

You could have pre-empted it by not making such a claim in the first place, and I abhor your attempt to normalize this dangerous behavior. It is not a "delicate balance." Increase your follow distance. Driving closer to the car

Dude. It's not a "low effort comment" to point that out, it's literally the law . If you can't stop when the person in front of you stops, you're too close. Increase your following distance. Don't let oth

Kids prefer messaging because it's asynchronous, not because they prefer text.

Have you actually read the book? Or are you responding to the title and the hype that's grown up around the book? Because the book itself is full of specific, actionable advice.

Agree. A fork would be not only more impressive but (if possible) practical. That knife fell far short of an "effortless" cut.

Yeah, I love Corridor Crew, but most of their videos aren't suitable here. The tech on this camera is incredible, though, something none of the written reviews managed to capture in their dry write-ups of the specs. Love your take on t

The video shows the camera's features off much better than an article, but if you're feeling impatient: https://9to5mac.com/2021/10/20/dji-releases-ronin-4d-profess...

Seconding this. The Scout Mindset is the best book I've read this year. Life changing. Note that it's more aimed at helping you recognized (and defeat) your own biases than help you with other people's biases. I think it will

Here are a couple more things you might want to look at: - you need a comma after Hey (Hey Authors) - audiobooks are "narrated" not "dictated" - inconsistent capitalization in headings throughout (e.g. Write your book, P

UBI is pretty prominent on the front page too, if you scroll down (under Core Values).

How is that working out for you? I've heard that soil moisture meters can be wildly inaccurate. Have you found one that's reliable?

By "software solutions," I believe they mean simulating wind tunnels so they can rapidly iterate. Once they have something that works, they still build a physical prototype and test it. There's no real software risk. (See bul

Exactly. Anything over five hours is very unpleasant for me. Over eight hours and I'll actually segment the trip with a hotel stay in between. Turning a 10-hour flight into a five-hour flight would save me a full day .

No, mortenjorck had it right. There is a clear distinction between government and private enterprise--governments have the force of law to back them up. That's the critical threat. Yes, it's a problem if power is centralized in or

I think they're referring to the subhead, "In a few weeks, Windows 11 will arrive. Should you upgrade to it? Let me answer with a question: 'Should you stop hitting your head against the wall?'" which is not only ch

There are far more Boomers than Millenials. Of course Boomers are going to have a larger "share" of U.S. wealth (compounded by the fact that Boomers are at the ends of their careers, in their highest-earning phase). Here's an

This is especially true overseas. I call McDonald's "American Embassies." When I'm traveling and stressed, tired, hungry and definitely not in the mood for an adventure, I can count on McDonald's to have a menu I ca

Well, if we're imagining dystopian science-fiction stories in this vein, let's say that the salvage company automates their cleanup with an AI approximately as sophisticated as YouTube. Now every satellite launch is subject to mal

Yeah, but it's on an RPG blog, not a Photoshop blog, so think of it as a fantasy map tutorial with an unfamiliar tool.

I'm surprised you mentioned iPhones, because that's exactly Apple's strategy. They tend to keep three generations around, and each time they introduce a new iPhone, they knock down the price of the previous generations. Here&

Have you never had a laptop stolen or a phone destroyed by water damage or a car totaled in an accident? Sometimes you actually need a replacement, and when you do, you need it now because you depend on it for your livelihood. Buying new

Yeah, that's the chart in the middle of the article of the log likelihood of each word. The higher that score, the more a word is used in Macbeth relative to the rest of his plays. However ... the author blips right over the fact t

As I recall (spoiler), that was speculation by one of the other characters after they crashed on Ringworld, later reversed because Teela met the love of her life due to the crash . The real take away was that Teela's luck was in no wa

At 3 cents/word, not only is the ghostwriter not an expert, they probably aren't even a good writer. That's less than what a decent typist would charge for material that's already written (transcribing from audio or hand
