Why would you assume that? (See Euromaidan)

It did turn into a bloodbath at Euromaidan, but the people still came out, for months, and fought to change a corrupt regime that lied to them, as they have in many other countries in the past. Russians are not helpless. The main argument w

Right now, many feel it is too late to leave, and that it is safer to stay than to leave. The roads are blocked, lines for fuel are huge (and fuel is running out). I wish my family had left sooner.

I think what we can do about it is exactly what you've been doing: close the sites that purposefully make them obnoxious. The GDPR does not require these consent prompts to be this horrible. Websites make them that way to annoy users i

This is not an answer to your question, just a comment I had about your chosen title. It seems like "technical (or non-technical) co-founder" encompasses all co-founders, and this makes me curious about why one would choose that t

When Googling for what that is, they look very similar to the foam pillow I tried. It was the closest I got to something comfortable, but in the end still not as good as the knee pillow. I'd probably be able to find a comfortable cervi

I had some neck problems last year which were worst after sleeping. This led me to believe that my sleeping position was to blame, so I focused on my position and pillow. I've never really liked "normal" pillows, but always h

I wonder if this could partly explain why some people gain muscle easily without eating more when lifting regularly. Common wisdom says you have to eat more to make up for the extra energy expenditure, or otherwise your muscle growth will b

I have felt this every single time I've switched jobs, and I've been at this for over a decade. It's normal to be scared, and to worry about doing a good job. It's normal to be slower when you ramp up at a brand new comp

I self-publish on Amazon and there are so many recurring instances of royalties not being properly recorded and paid out, mostly in Kindle Unlimited. Page reads don't get recorded due to some apparent incident (sometimes admitted by Am

During the pandemic, I got a pole for my house since I couldn't go to classes anymore. I stuck with it for a while, but unfortunately the pandemic slump took over and I haven't been as consistent as I'd like. Pre-pandemic I u

That looks really nice. My ceilings aren't that high, but in a previous apartment I had a ceiling mounted one above the bathtub and it worked very well. The current one I have is just a foldout floor one.

For me, yes. The price tag is exorbitant, but for me worth it to never have to scoop and know that my cats (one of whom has had urinary problems) always have a perfectly fresh box to go into. Doing a monthly or bimonthly deep clean can be a

Aside from the already great points made by others, I am trying to move away from the Amazon ecosystem a bit as both a reader and a writer, since I do not think Amazon is good for writers (in the long-term). Since I also plan to start publi

Here is the link to the drying rack: https://www.brabantia.com/int_en/drying-rack-tower-23-metres... This is my first rack so not much to compare to, but so far I'm satisfied with it.

I'm a little unsure if I understand what you're asking for since you talk about personal branding and it makes me wonder if you're looking for an email sending/newsletter service rather than just an email hosting service

I have always aimed to have a day job in fields that I'm interested in. Not everyone has this luxury, but I have. So for me, considering I am currently in a situation I really like, "enough" _right now_ is being able to pay m

I am sure this is true for many people, but it doesn't resonate with me at all. I usually end up working way more hours (focus working, not browsing HN or Reddit between PRs) than I'm supposed to. It is so easy for me to get sucke
