I can only speak for myself, but when I was younger I never equated what I was eating to what my health was like. I really did eat whatever was prepared/purchased for me. I also did unwise things like placing a microwave burrito betwee

81.6kg ...wow, that's a bit over what I weigh. In sugar. I weighed ~113kg at the end of high-school (c. 2005) and the first step I took towards losing weight was switching out regular soda for diet variants. People say 'diet'

Well, according to this, they can't read your data. "These folders are encrypted using only your device-specific keys and mine. The Keybase servers do not have private keys that can read this data. Nor can they inject any public k

How about Keybase? It has a pretty seamless files experience, I find. Open source, end-to-end encryption, Windows client, painless sync, free for 250GB...

I wonder how the EU regulations for organic farming compare to the US regulations.

As far as I understand, the synthetic pesticides may actually be safer since they're designed with human consumption in mind and are able to be synthesized in such a way to limit negative effects on the body. Also, they can be designed

Ooh, didn't know that! Either way, I do find it a better service for books in particular.

I recommend buying used on AbeBooks. You can find what you want in pretty good quality for cheap and will have no trouble accepting a couple of dings.

Check out Kanopy, which you can use for free with library card. Has a lot of Criterion movies and a bunch of other interesting things. https://www.kanopy.com/

If you're reading purely for entertainment you're entering the act with a bunch of expectation baggage (and probably looking over some worthwhile literature in the process).

I'm a finisher. But I tend to do my diligence before I start, so even if I am not particularly thrilled about the book at the end, I find there is usually something to glean from it. A few nice passages in the context of a book I'

Hell, I wish messaging services made conversation much more searchable. I hate having to scroll and scroll to find some past conversation topic that maybe had interesting thoughts/links/shared media.

Consider me (man) an outlier, then. I much prefer to comparison shop and maximize the quality/value ratio. Plus, I do tend to know what I want (in terms of style, at least), but it might take many visits to many shops to find it (both

Maybe blockchain technologies go the way of the car phone. That is, they were novel and useful for a time but other advancements rendered them obsolete. Or, maybe future fiction doesn't need to account for every possible future technol

Be aware of your mindset if you do decide to try them. I've only done them once, but I had a bad experience. Left me a little paranoid/questioning reality for at least a year afterward.

There is also https://www.fakespot.com/ . I wonder if fake review generators are already working around these fake review detectors or if the detectors are not utilized enough for it to be worth the effort. Either way, some

Any way to create a general front-end that can hook into multiple streaming services? This looks cool, but I'm on Google's whatever-they're-calling-it-now music subscription plan.

the tide of sentiment rises and falls. the glow of opinion waxes and wanes. the wave of reaction ebbs and flows.

Which reminds me of the book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man." Sounds like he hit it on the nose.

I don't use any plugins. I just copy/paste, which if you're doing it from the app stores the copied parameter in memory for a ~15 seconds, after which it is flushed.
