I largely quit vaping right before the rise of disposable vape pens and it is mindblowing to me that they were allowed – by any group including the manufacturers, governments, even consumers – to become a thing. They seem from the outside t

I can see this. I am not quite an introvert. They treat me as a bit of a novelty, and that often feels lie it includes more “attention” than anyone else in the group.

Book clubs if you like reading fiction. I'm happily married, but the only guy in a book club of 20.

Is this a sarcastic comment, given a pretty good book was written about exactly that?

Another great place to buy books is BookOutlet. They sell primarily overstocked books, and I'm always pleasantly surprised by their selection. I'll add books to an Amazon wishlist than every few months take that list to BookOutlet

Will be very interesting to see how this comment ages based on the trajectory of the last couple of years.

Poorly written article with poorly written arguments. What this person doesn't like is bad page builders, which is reasonable. But they seem completely unaware of what is possible in modern page builders.

Brilliant - no notes. Makes me wish for more unconventional film-game adaptations.

The article includes the link in the first paragraph and is worth reading if this type of thing [exercise/websites] interests you more than a no context link.

There is a small utility called Replacicon[1] that fixes this. [1] https://replacicon.app/

Programming scripts for SCAR in Pascal was actually the farthest I ever got in to programming - those scripts were the first things I ever wrote, and also the last. I wonder why.

Anyone taking this seriously is very gullible. Whole thing is laughable, stock photography, "I am very badass" language. Submitted by a new user.

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm … it’s sarcasm right? Based on the entire history of startups, you truly don’t believe that companies can focus on user growth or profitability, and those directions have different levers?

Well, that was an easy sell.

The type of service you're looking for is generally called an "expert network", and as a sibling said, Alphasights is one of the biggest. Others that I have experience with as a consultant are Guidepoint, GLG, and Coleman Res

It is not “mostly just [them]”. Many, many people - most people, maybe - would rather the world not smell like weed.

I don’t think this does much to solve the problem - “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong”.

You would do it by changing the legal structure, but not by requiring any employees of Airbnb to manage the properties themselves, any more so than TripAdvisor employees manage hotels today. Require Airbnb hosts to pay for a license, have r

I think based on context it's clear they mean "regulated like hotels".

I'll never tell people they have to, but winter running can be really enjoyable. I committed this year to doing as much of my training outside through the Canadian winter as possible, and so far it's been a dream. I ran through th

This is definitely annoying. I understand why larger publishers do it, but it drives me crazy when more independent writers/publishers do it. It's enough of a problem that some RSS reader services have a feature that does exactly

Using a fire extinguisher on a small flame before it grows in to needing the fire department seems like a reasonable approach.

Does this apply to everyone? If I build and sell an indie software product, should I only be able to sell it for the distribution costs ($0.02/user/month, say) once I have recouped someone's definition of a fair hourly wage f

Tons of things have taken more than 10 years to stop sucking. Digital cameras, MP3 players, "smart" phones, arguably laptops... I am not a VR believer by any stretch, but this is such myopic thinking.

You are arguing against the opinion "it sucks right now, but it can get better" with "it sucks right now". Is your position that things that suck can not get better?

Probably why she only edits 90% of her work on iPad. I think there's a huge percentage of non-developers who are exactly in this boat – can do 90% of their work on an iPad, and enjoy that experience, but keep a traditional computer aro
