As a kid I saved up for a used laptop so I could play Halo LAN games with my mates. The computer didn't meet the required specs for the game, but it mostly worked if you turned the all the graphics settings down to low. Except for invi

Here's the NHSTA report for a 2015 Ford Focus, the female model is used in the passenger seat [1]. In a quick look I couldn't find any tests with female drivers though. The male [2] and female [3] dummies look to be in different p

I've never noticed a big link between the stock market and my freelancing business. Perhaps there are more laid-off developers looking to freelance during a downturn, but companies also hire more contractors/freelancers during tim

Wind power accounts for about 10% of total generation in the US. So even if turbines were added to account for 100% generation, and demand increased 10x, it'd still be far less than anything else on the list.

Very works but it's missing out on an opportunity to give more detail. Most of the adjectives in this app have multiple alternatives, one of which is likely closer to what you're trying to represent. Or to put it another way: con

Nice site, and good luck! I used to run a book price comparison site, it was fun though I struggled to keep the price scrapers up to date. I wrote a small eulogy here: https://www.ajnisbet.com/blog/maintaining-a-zero-ma

There was a US remake of Taskmaster, which is like 50% a panel show. It was exceedingly terrible despite keeping 1 of the 2 UK hosts, and especially compared to the excellent New Zealand and Swedish Taskmaster remakes. I agree about access

Braking is the main reason I love gravel tyres for commuting: their increased size means a larger contact patch which directly translates into a shorter stop (as stopping on skinny tyres with disc brakes is typically traction-limited). The

I've been running it about 4 years now? It's very low maintenance (run process_new_comments.py every month and re-deploy). It also doesn't bring in much money: it's definitely a hobby rather than a business. I don't

My mistake, I do have a super old prescription in Warby Parker. Zenni does let you buy "whatever you want".

Maybe their policy has changed, but I bought a pair last year and haven't had a prescription in 4 years. It is possible I uploaded that prescription when I first bought glasses from them rather than just entering the values I wanted, b

Outdoor gear is the perfect onramp for sewing, and it's how I got started! Function is more important than form outdoors, so compared to say your work clothes it's ok if stitching is messy or fabric doesn't match. Repairs are

I've never had issues ordering glasses from Zenni and I think Warby Parker too, you can just put in whatever values you want. Contact lenses on the other hand are regulated, I have to get those from overseas without a prescription.

Giving someone your bank account number (~EU ACH info) only allows them to send you money, not take it from you. It's not a secret, some retail businesses list it on their websites.

By mess do you mean scratching the glass surface? My ~$15 lodge cast iron has been fine on the electric stovetops in my last 3 apartments. They weren't super high quality cooktops either: the last nonstick pan I owned scratched the cra

The VanMoof youtube channel releases a ~monthly video of the hunters in action. Sure it's marketing, but is an interesting watch. There's a few videos from SF, and one where they track a bike from Europe to Northern Africa. https

That’s probably legally true in the US, but is that the best we can do? It’s valid to question the value of laws. Sometimes I wish I did have more privacy in public. But more importantly, technology has completely changed what non-privacy l

Winging it with stripe is fine to get started quickly, but once you have a couple of customers switch to a Merchant of Record like Paddle. On your end they work much like stripe: you get credit card input html and an api. But legally they a
