This is not negativity, this is reality. I have never eaten meat in my life. But I am surrounded by meat eaters. Even polite, rational, calm discussion about reducing meat consumption doesn't last more than a minute. It is as though pe

During COVID, farmers were killing pigs with steam. Imagine being steamed alive. Animal industry is cruel beyond most people's imagination. Anything to lessen that cruelty is good, very good. We aren't gonna reduce our meat consum

Mad respect indeed. I am not in the target audience for this project, but I just read through the contributing.md page. It is very well written, everything he says makes sense If there's an issue that affects 3% of users doing somethi

Why do so many free sites force users to login? Are they trying to shield their content from AI bots? Or is it something else?

Sorry, I meant to ask, game data (moves and such). That channel links to this site, https://www.scrabbleplayers.org/tourneys/2024/csw/lxt/11/ Not sure if they have the actual moves. Still looking

You could also do something in between - buy ready made templates and customize them. It is easier than mimic-ing and cheaper than hiring a designer. Something like https://tailwindui.com/

This is interesting. Why did you pick KaiOS? If money was the goal, I guess iOS and Android would make more, isn't it? How does the development process feel like?

PostgalAgent seems cheap, 0.72$ per card? Maybe I am wrong, I would've thought it might cost more! Where do you get the data from? census.gov? BTW, the demo link seems broken - https://checkanyvin.com/free-report/s

Financial press knows it too, they just don’t care. They gotta fill their pages with something, right?

I was working in Mississippi during 2016 election. I met many people who point blank told me they will not vote for Clinton, just because she is a woman (there are a million reasons not to vote for Clinton, her gender is not one of them).

I started losing faith in democracy since Brexit. It is still better than other forms of governance, that seems like a low bar. People making “protest” votes without bothering to understand the consequences, single issue voters, young peopl

Yes, but it is likely to be a bit better with women in charge than men. But yeah, there isn’t any easy solution to this

I remember reading that camera phones sold in Japan are required by law to make shutter sound while taking photos. There was another report from South Korea on hidden cameras in women’s restrooms. This whole thing is beyond disgusting, I sa

I was talking about immigrants. If you are deciding between two countries, each one is likely going to have a different type or level of problems - man made or otherwise. Australia is too hot, Canada is too cold. Scandinavia might be too pr

U.S is outperforming everyone else economically. At what cost though? And for how long? There is an insane wealth gap. People always seem to be stressed. There is plenty of food, but quality isn’t great. We don’t even need to start on heal

instead of working through it Loonnnng time ago (25+ years) I remember appearing for an entrance exam of a very famous, hard statistical course. It was a 3 hour exam, with only 7 or 8 questions. The exam explicitly stated that they do not

I have mentioned this before. The best interview I had as a candidate was - they gave me access to their codebase, explained an actual relatively small bug, asked me to fix it and left me alone (I was seated among their devs, they were mind

I suppose these career options have relatively much higher chances of making good money: 1. Become a corporate lawyer, charge by the hour - win or lose, lawyers get paid 2. Run a soulless media company - rake in the ad dollars from both p

It is not because of Biden/Harris. Trump will not make it better, in fact he will make it much, much worse. That is the point. General public either does not understand or does not want to understand the nuances. That is the unfortunat

In my area, restaurant food prices are going up and up - not 5,10 percent, but 50% range or more. What cost me $10 last year, cost me 13, 15$ now or more. I dunno if this is price gouging or restaurants genuinely are paying more for their s

If one had a group of friends or relatives willing to move, it would make it much easier to move as a group. Imagine 5 or 10 families, who trust each other, buying a property each and moving in together.
