Isn’t their pricing pretty unfriendly? I was looking at the Thelio, which starts at $1000 and then any upgrade costs about sticker price. (e.g. upgrading to the i5-13600K, which retails for $320, costs $315.) It basically seemed to translat

Roughly one in every four to five tweets in the “following” feed is a “promoted” tweet, at least on mobile. 20-25% noise isn’t a great ratio for something that I ostensibly curate.

Thanks! I have not yet read Cradle but often see it recommended. I haven't explored litrpgs much yet, but I had a great time with Worm and it seems like they live in a similar space. Will check some of these out!

Yeah, I’m not a web dev, but I assumed there were one or more technical limitations that led to its decline. I liked the interface, and the familiarity when seemingly every small-to-medium forum online was built on it. Plus they were all sc

It seems like the behavior would cause problems in the following workflow: - create first session (launch server) - detach - set environmental variables - create second session But I don't understand why you would want to follow this w

Bradycardia is more commonly associated with aortic valve regurgitation or stenosis, not tachycardia. My understanding is that the heart compensates for the dysfunctional valve by attempting to pump a greater volume with each stroke.

I’ve migrated to the tidyverse for most of my EDA and plotting - I’ve found dplyr and ggplot to be noticeably more expressive. Pandas always added a ton of friction for me. It’s still my choice for quick and non-graphical analysis when I’m

I largely agree with your first paragraph, but I do think the term “birthing parent” is important in contexts such as parental leave policies. “Mother” could be inadequately specific in situations involving same-sex relationships, surrogaci

I wonder if a sufficiently famous, public, and unique name could get delivered. Would a letter simply addressed “Biden” make it to the White House?

What? No, the satisfaction was from having done something so well someone literally didn't believe it was possible. Not sure how you think you could get that from actually cheating.

The absolute best I've ever felt in online gaming was when someone accused me of cheating after a particularly good round of TDM. Rode that high for at least a week.

I'm assuming you're being pedantic about the acronym/initialism distinction, but initialisms are commonly understood to be a subset of acronyms rather than a complementary set [1,2]. i.e., TLA is an acronym [1] https:/&
