You don't have to use them if you want, and I would never bother in some throwaway internet comment where context clues work well enough, but they serve an important purpose in typography that date back to the invention of the printing

After a ride in foul weather I pour a kettle of boiling water on the drivetrain, brakes, and rims, let it dry off inside, then re-lubricate. Always works like a charm.

This reads like rage bait. I don't think I've heard anyone use the "title" command as a reason for writing latex ever. What people mention is always the same four things: cross references, citations, figures, and equatio

The "before:" operator trick is very useful but it won't last. They have quietly phased out some of these operators and they are not supported on many google properties. The before operator is also buggy, I regularly get sear

I remember around the time of the 2020 Democratic primaries it was really commonly used by no-hopers for Kamala Harris. Their whole toolkit was basically condescending put-downs so they latched on to it hard. Didn't matter how obviousl

Having come up with a light structure and kept it for 7 years now, mine is: media, life, edu, data, dev, pix The most heavily structured is /edu, everything else is a shitshow but I generally know where to find stuff. There are a few o

At the risk of getting us all put on a list, could you say some more about what machining the stuff safely involves?

The last line resonates with me as the discord I hang out in is my only source of good recommendations anymore. Almost all of the good stuff I've seen in the past years comes from there. My algorithmic feeds by comparison are all high-

It was a great project but it's kind of pissing in the wind. These things break constantly as new awful features get added. And there's not much you can do with ublock about high-level frontend changes that are the real problem, l

Applying any level of systems thinking or lifecycle analysis to the problem will reveal that nearly none of the costs to the environment or society are paid by whatever cursory fee you pay at the pump. Most of those taxes are paid by everyo

Some development boards and city councils definitely have a talent for shooting themselves in the foot, but the man is outright antagonistic to them and has been for years. Before you can build you have to do some legwork in advance and sho

In art school I owned an industrial sewing machine. It could sew through virtually anything and was great for repairs and modifications of heavy garments and bags. It had a "walking foot" that moved the needle in sync with the fee
