Wild Sheep Chase and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle are also quite good. His tone can vary a lot from book to book, from absurdity (Wild Sheep Chase) to straight up nostalgic, umm, romance(?) (Norwegian Wood).

>The other half of rock & roll has got to be hillbilly. And that's a derogatory term, but it ought not to be. That's a term that includes the Delmore Bros., Stanley Bros., Roscoe Holcomb, Git Tanner and the Skillet Lickers.

What is the performance overhead like? I can't access the app right now but I'd be highly surprised if it caused a noticeable input latency. Or are you talking out of your ass?

You just made a great argument for investing MORE in GPS software in a car than in the phone: get it right the first time so you aren't stuck with useless software for two decades–that's a waste of everyone's time and money.

Does Carplay allow choosing which maps app serves the maps, or are you forced to use the apple maps? I'm sure people love Apple's app but it's given me many, many, many too many illegal directions for me to ever trust it.

It's very difficult to prevent side channel thumbprints—something as simple as traceroutes, wifi hotspots, caches (DNS, routing) can be uniquely identifiable. Add on top of this biometrics like how you type, how you move your mouse, et

Neither source remotely supports your claims. Laziness is not qualitative. I think people who work desk jobs are lazy; I imagine you believe people on disability to be lazy. The thing you linked doesn't even contain the word. You have

It's not. But it's no less important that the team itself, which isn't very useful without direction.

If only the working poor were "high-risk no-income". That would indicate some free time to get into trouble! That would mean they could simply find a job instead of stretching their current ones. This is a classist dogwhistle labe

So shame them for being classist and racist. Public education is a public investment.

I think the reverse—that humans are somehow meaningful—is far more terrifying.

This is a very strange attitude about truth. What does it have to do with one's comfort level? Not everyone is emotionally invested in understanding the universe. I personally rather enjoy it when the universe surprises me, although ag

Post edit: the above was fascetious. Linux is excellent but is also clearly the product of many years of community evolution, and it shows in its many quirks.

There is so much Ancient Greek its hard to paint them all with the same brush. Koine (biblical) Greek is very simple and a modern speaker can get the gist, but polyphonic Greek in the flavor of Sappho or the Iliad would be very, very diffic

Well, libido is not qualitative. There are many drugs that increase the desire for sex, including most of the recreational ones. Hell, MDMA alone will get you there if you already want to have sex but do not have the drive .

> Considering that aphrodisiacs don't exist What do you mean? You're denying the existence of a) libido, b) drugs, or c) the effect of drugs on libido. Could you elaborate? None of the above statements strikes me as true.
