Are the contents of the books available there? I'm having trouble navigating that page so I can't tell what I should be expecting. Looks like Amazon has the books too.

It was weird, and I think about it a lot. In wide open America, it must not have seemed like it would be much of a nuisance. The campaign in the 80s to end littering was really memorable, and it really worked.

The story (possibly apocryphal) in my family goes like this: My grandfather who smoked regularly was driving when he heard the first reporting on radio about these findings. He threw his pack out the window (anti-littering didn't take

Because parents have kids and before that they didn't, so they can make a solid comparison. It's not common for someone without a kid to have repeated interruptions throughout the day and night and then not have any opportunity to

Sure, but you have to accept that means you are not committed to the dignity of disabled viewers.

You might as well tell them, "Tough shit." Different markets and different languages, etc. don't deserve automatic accommodation, but if you fully believe in accommodating disabled people in order to give them the dignity and

Bottom line: I can't queue and download Spotify content to my Apple Watch for offline use. Considering Apple has a competitor product, there is no reason for me to believe Apple is playing fair. Secondarily, the expectation that Spotif

This snippet comes across maybe overblown, and surely it’s not scientifically accurate, but it serves to elevate and venerate what stories are; it’s literary. It makes its point with imagery rather than accuracy.

I like the fact that Penn Station existed when it did; when it was needed and when it catapulted a couple of generations to profound success.

It's unclear what point you're trying to make here and whether you understood my story. I have already read Frankl, but thank you for the suggestion anyway. Everyone should read it.

I recently slaughtered and butchered two young pigs as an exercise in getting closer to my food sources and an experiment in economy. The situation was six pigs in a trailer, and our task was to shoot two of our choosing. When the first pig

Monthly paid service for all the music I can possibly want is such a good deal vs. the old days of collecting CDs. This is one specific area where the Internet as absolutely delivered on it's potential.

For the last line, you could have said IABYUT.

This Trumpian idea is insidious. It’s a willful ignorance that pervades right-wing thought. If only it were solely to their detriment.

Facebook has a lot to answer for and those answers haven't been forthcoming yet.

Typically I think this is the right answer, but what is the appropriate way to turn things romantic?

My favorites are the highly rated and vetted learning resources or canonical resources for a given topic. It’s gem hunting for knowledge and it pays off frequently.

“Any point in between is an unstable equilibrium.” That is the conundrum defining my aldulthood (roughly the “internet era”); and it creates confusion and despair. It’s especially painful because I’d expected hope and enlightenment.

Yes, this is my main concern as well, and I haven't seen a satisfying answer to it. I'm bullish on UBI anyway because it answers a lot of questions of how to handle poverty and what to do with our societal wealth, but this one una

Maybe, but then they lose the terrible game and all status that comes with playing along. The point is the game is the tyranny.

This is great. Local news, in my opinion, needs to be able to innovate online, but they can't. They seem to all be using some monolithic old publishing system because without a better system available, they're afraid of the comple

Haha, I don't really know but the name cracks me up. You should take a shot at it and the report back any problems you hit so they can improve it for n00bs.

We can surmise no grandmas are using "Pi Hole" on the daily.

You're missing a deep and prevalent problem described in the message of this story. Parents feel pressure to crank on their kids and when they aren't getting to the problem, it can quickly become borderline abusive. This is COMMON

This is the reality, but of course it's absurd. I'm going to be brave and admit I'm not middle class from now on, though I'm sure all my peers would easily accept any claim that I am.

"my family is decidedly middle-class" Why are you so sure? What are the numbers? It's possible you're in a middle income bracket within a rich region, but if you're shopping at Apple and Williams Sonoma on the regul
