    Wired runs just fine with JS completely disabled. You won't get this, either. (Support them with a magazine subscription though!)

    Something about Reddit that has been really irking me lately is the decline in quality of the comment threads, which is arguably one of the only reasons to visit the site nowadays since link aggregators are so common. People seem to treat c

    This book has my second favorite opening line in a sci-fi book (right behind Neuromancer). You can read the first few pages for free on Neal's website! https://www.nealstephenson.com/news/2015/04/13/

    I had the pleasure of trying this game for the first time well past its prime only a few years ago. There's an amazing classic video arcade near my hometown in Mesa, Arizona called Starfighters Arcade, and they have the cockpit version
