(NB: I was, prior to being a fully remote worker, a full time cyclo-commuter, and sometimes bike infrastructure advocate.) The problem is partially the infrastructure. My rust belt city, or Eau Claire WI, could put in perfect bike and pede

The coop in my city (I've been a member for over 30 years) does a very good job of bridging your first two descriptions. It is a full service grocery store, but there is an emphasis on local producers. Not all of the produce or mea

I think experiences vary greatly based on company and domain. I work on a team supporting features for an app that is used by tens of thousands of people every day. Yet, what we plan to produce at the beginning of the quarter rarely match

Sam Beam (Iron and Wine) also makes use of alternate tunings (often DADGAD, but he uses others as well). Edited to add: Also check out Lindsey's teacher, Mary Timony (fronted Helium before becoming a solo act).

Have you spent any time in the southwest United States? Those books hit me a particular way after many trips to west Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. McCarthy has a way of capturing that landscape....

Perhaps I'm reading the post the wrong way, but particularly in the case of junior v. senior, I see the deadline point to be more about what a designer can do, given their experience and seniority. A junior designer is going to be h

Yeah, I don't agree with 100% of their political positions (though, to be fair, it is rare that I agree with 100% of anyone's political positions, including my own), but they are really trying to change the way people consume thei

This is a fair point, but why not offer a subsidy for non-electric cargo bikes (or long tails)?

I think it's pretty difficult to make conclusions about a developer's time based on a metric from an IDE. My coding time varies day-to-day and week-to-week. If my team is in a planning cycle, I may not code at all for a week or

I rarely see people tying in with a single bowline, for the reason you give. I've been using a double bowline with a stopper knot ( http://www.vdiffclimbing.com/double-bowline/ ) for many years now (well, at least

A handful of years ago, we had to euthanize our (very old) cat. The plan was to have an at-home come in, but his conditioned worsened, and the service couldn't accommodate us, so I ended up going to an emergency clinic. Initially, it

It's been interesting to see local shelters realize this, and create colony rooms for cats that have been properly socialized. It keeps the cats out of smaller cages, and likely simplifies the care and feeding of the cats in the colon
