The last ThinkPad I owned disintegrated in under a year. The chassis was so poorly made that it just crumbled with normal use. I have been buying Asus ever since. Not the prettiest machines but durable and reliable.

From my perspective: Pork raised on a small farm has ridiculously pure white fat. Heritage bacon fat turns clear as it is cooked. It's delicious, even unseasoned, and the texture is firm and pleasing. The flavor is nutty. Industriall

Guido is not a controversial figure in the industry. This isn't an Elon or Linus tweet. This is a well-respected individual poo pooing pretty directly on the "web3" scene.

When ACA was passed (Obamacare), it expanded healthcare benefits to millions of part-time workers based on a new definition of "full time" that meant >=30 hours. The result was simply that many employees had their weekly hours

Maybe you have hit your zenith, but there is no shame in that. It doesn't preclude you from accomplishing more tomorrow. Medical intervention can be helpful short-term, but long-term you want to look at what satisfies you. Fast forward

And he's fun. People like him (and Magnus, and the Botez sisters) because they are fun. On Twitch, the most successful players almost never have the most viewership.

Is there a notable difference in case loads between Socal and Norcal? Florida seems to have done relatively well for themselves (unless you buy into conspiracy theories about misreporting case loads), but I wonder if vit D and general level

I advocate on grassroots political issues locally. There is a special interest group that has much more sway than the general public is aware over local policy decisions (to the extent that they head two local, theoretically competing polit

For anyone who really loves these types of games, "Leaf Blower Revolution" on steam is truly enjoyable. It is free to play (though I did buy the $5 supporter pack myself because the dev made such an enjoyable game), and is probabl

If you are in the US, detectoring will be much more boring than in the UK. Best way to get started would be to watch The Detectorists on Amazon.

This is one of the fluffiest, least aligned with reality pieces I have ever read on tree propagation, and I've read a lot of silly things about tree propagation. If I want to propagate 5,000 trees I have a few options. I can do what th

For everyone reading this article who agrees with it, I would encourage you to start reading some history, especially ancient history, late 1800s history, and the history of colonialism. Society, once you look at inputs and outputs, is pred

The answer is anxiety. Even before COVID, there was a great + growing anxiety about the world. It was palpable. I think that our anxiety is normal, it is biological, and it is inevitable. We are not that much more evolved than we were 20,00

No one is ever truly free. Maybe great, great ascetics who are so detached from the world that their freedom has become a prison of their own. When I was young, I felt every bite at my freedom deeply. Having a job, a schedule, responsibilit

I guess I'm not sure what your point is? Hard labor is hard. Building a palace or a temple is also hard work.

Thank you for posting. I was hoping to see more commenting from people closer to the matter. India is such a large, geographically diverse nation. How do you think that plays into local policy development + enforcement?

For everyone who is a big fan of crypto, what is the next "big step" after PoS. I am more than happy to use a cryptocurrency where I can take 1 USD and receive a coin that is worth ~1 USD, without needing the promise that it will

It will be "OK" if we redefine what it means to be an American consumer. Right now, there are still serious issues to EV charging at range. When we have an EV system that can power our trucking system in any serious fashion, the c

I don't consider any of those "replacement meats," they're foods in their own right. Falafel fits the bill as well, maybe mushrooms. The real problem is scale. We're much more likely to develop a microbial or fungal
