Lived in one, now a resident in the other, Austin's downtown doesn't even compare to the downtown of the other major cities in its own state , if you even only talked about public transit. Going east to west is a nightmare of tra

Outstanding! I've signed up and am already having a few interesting chats about space launches :) Really interesting experiment you've made here, I hope it succeeds

I like that there are no "engagement" or "proofing" indicators like likes and hearts, or other mechanisms signaling approval and consent-of-the-crowd(like votes/points/karma). Do you intend to keep it this way?

It shouldn’t be seen as trite to want rest and reprieve from the psychologically exhaustive nature of “always on” political engagement[1]-especially in times such as these, but I completely understand what you’re getting at, and to my own i

You think AIs are worst and more biased than some typical america judges ? Did I once say that they were?

Yeah, this is a popular saying, but couldn’t be further from the truth for the most successful people. Probably. What about the rest of us who aren't really looking to those people for any kind of framework? Part of the whole "t

I felt that way about my own life. Still so sometimes. Though far, far less than I used to, and feeling noticeably less anxiety about it previously. A Relevant bit of reading, I think, I hope: https://fs.blog/2014/05&#x

I’ve come to the realization as a leader that I just do not have the skin for budget discussions of any form or variety beyond negotiating with potential hires what they would like to be paid. And what you just said about $20 apps is 100% w

I wonder why OkCupid deleted their old posts. Popular theory is their acquisition by the same company that owns every other dating site on the planet had something to do with it.

The phrase “everything I learned about x I learned from n” is probably kitsch and hackneyed, but in the case of bicycle maintenance, Sheldon Brown and his website, it’s absolutely the case for me.

That wide secondary hull has very strong Discovery vibes to me, but the saucer section is peak Enterprise (I’m leaning refit/TMP with oversized impulse systems, what about you?)

Unrelated to technical debt (or maybe it is and someone can find a way to make the connection) but this quote from Bourdain resonates well with me and very much aligns with why when I used to entertain guests (before covid obviously) I woul

I cheated and resized my browser window so it would bounce perfectly off the corner, and it felt kinda dirty. But felt so good at the same time.

Okay. Challenge accepted. Find me ONE example of Joe Rogan talking about beheading a government official and putting their heads on pikes. I will happily eat my words if you can find one.

There is absolutely room for hyperbole in common discourse. But reading the room, actually, check that: reading the state of the fucking nation surely elevates this to something far more than mere “common discourse” when one is talking ab

Short version of a long tale: this is sad but true in some cases. I had to go with my sister as backup after her kid came home in tears because a teacher called the child "ugly" and said "I don't want to look at your fac

Are you referring to delirium tremens being fatal, or the symptoms of DT and the onset of other factors being responsible for death? A critical distinction, I think that deserves being called out

What factors lead to their addiction? What factors lead to their homelessness? Are these factors mutually exclusive? Post hoc, ergo propter hoc?

It’s been a practice of mine for years and several coworkers are only learning about it for the first time: I either decline meetings with no agenda or nothing in the body, or leave them tentative and reply back with nothing but a question

Fair enough. I think I would say there's a lot of ugly happening in the whole of this story that doesn't sit right with me as a reader, but the characterization of Greenwald's position being "tantrum"-like seems t

What is the difference between a “grown-ass dude throwing a tantrum” and a “grown-ass dude vociferously disagreeing with the ethics of his former employer”? I’m not asking to make a point or take a side in this via a pretense of Socratic m

This is exactly why I've gone back to using just one (admittedly, big ass 32") screen whereas before I had three (one was attached to a separate device where builds occured). I do have one other display, but it's stacked high

I don't think the GP was being unfair. Ok, you're allowed to think that. I just think saying "it's the midwest" and then bringing attention to a list of social-indicators that aren't really specific to or eve
