Your post made me recall an old acquaintance of mine. Being environmentally conscious, he'd bring utensils with him everywhere so that if he ever ate out, he could use those instead of using plastic utensils.

Yeah this is my understanding too. Quaker Oats for example wrote: "Yes, oats are naturally gluten-free. However, during farming, transportation and storage, gluten-containing grains like wheat, rye, barley and spelt may be unintentiona

Pretty much. There are for example studies that show that people who attempt a problem before finding a solution learn a lot more than people who just look at the solution.

In addition, due to risk of bed bugs/contaminants and the fact that people are very particular about the comfort level of a mattress, the re-sell market for mattress is really unlike other pieces of furniture. Whenever I've moved,

To be fair, the article starts off with "Hyperbolic click-bait title aside," which goes to show the author knows exactly what he's doing there.

I would guess that the elderly are much more skeptical about handing over their personal information online than younger generations. For example, Facebook started off in colleges. And other forms of social media like Snapchat, Twitter, and

That's a fair perspective, but that doesn't ring true for me. I've spent money on Spotify, Prime, Patreon (to support local podcasters and niche YouTube content), Twitch streamers, software (Sketch, Lightroom), Marvel/In

I completely agree. Not learning from books/teaching can make it hard to improve. I love reading other peoples code and thought processes because it often reveals how I'm missing something in my toolbox. Studies have shown that on

That has been my observation as well especially when it comes to interracial experiences. Specifically, I've gone on dates with women of a different ethnicity when I've met them first from platonic situations (meetups, school, wor

Eh. It's pretty typical and even mentioned on Family Guy( https://youtu.be/6daEbA1jBXg?t=50s ) Personally, I'll support a local store even at the cost of a few dollars if it's a store I respect, such as an inde

Strange, I feel like it's the opposite. I, as a childless adult, couldn't care less how my friend raises her kid, just as long as she isn't abusive. It's probably because I haven't spent any time learning the ins-an

Unfortunately, that's what I thought as it means I have to greatly improve my post-processing skills. Do you have tutorials that go into detail about how one can improve? I've spent the last decade using Lightroom but largely goin

This doesn’t surprise me. I can’t speak to what it’s like to be a white man but for some reason Asians especially men are excluded as being part of what contributes to diversity despite being visible persons of colour.
