A year or two ago when I was doing some searching in Maps for trails to hike in Hawaii, I noticed that if a trail didn't have an "official" website i.e. pointing to a local government page, in several cases a certain photogra

Pretty neat. I was able to find Quakesat, a cubesat that a friend of mine worked on. It was only expected to last a year, but kept going for around 5 or so.

goshawk-cocaine = gyrfalcon , which is funny if you know anything about goshawks and gyrfalcons (Goshawks are very intense, gyrs tend to be leisurely in flight.)

Seems to be a word not in its dictionary. Seems to not have any country or language names. Edit: these must be capitalized to be recognized.

Wells Fargo too. Every other banking institution says never to give an OTP to someone on the phone, but that's exactly how WF verifies you when you call them. The only thing is that they do text the number already on file with them, no

I just hit 60. For the past 3 or so years I've always had some physical problem that is longer-term. Most of them are muscle strains (partially torn rotator cuff last year, plantar fascitis before that), and pretty annoying to keep end

> Germans who spoke perfect English and had often grown up in the US. Curious if you have any links that go into this further. Were they Americans of German descent who rejoined family in Germany, or? I'm sure it's not monolith

Back when the price of crude oil was in the news a lot, if a rise was announced, gas stations would immediately hike prices, even though it takes like a month for the oil to be refined into gas and delivered to the station.

The hypocrisy exhibited by the right is crazy: issues with Democrats are blown far out of proportion while the same or even more severe issues are nothingburgers when committed by Republicans. I do agree Biden's cognitive health should

I'm curious how the eye migraine is related. I had one many, many years ago. It was a smallish (palm at arm's length) oval in the center of my vision that looked like snow on an analog TV, accompanied by a feeling of overwhelmed b

19/20. The first many were very obvious. I missed #14 and I think right around there I started to slow down because the differences were getting smaller. Looking away and then coming back helped, I think. It seemed like if you look at

The ignoring of quoted words is pretty annoying, especially when the search engine assumes you have spelled something wrong. Search is also incredibly sales oriented - shopping results are prioritized and fill up your results over the infor

I always pick the cheapest Lyft available; I'm not spending a whole lotta time in it so a luxury ride isn't a priority.

I've taken Waymo only twice (I try to avoid SF), from the ferry building to Chinatown, then back. Both times it was more expensive than Lyft with tip, but only by $2-3. It's good to know it can be cheaper.

Trump derangement syndrome is just a way for Trumpers to avoid thinking critically or having to defend anything about Trump. "You have TDS" lets them pretend they are the sane ones and disengage.

I've backed 3 kickstarter items, 2 have been great, 1 was not very good quality but still worked. I don't do this much because I'm generally skeptical. One of the successes did take an extra ~6 months to arrive and mine was s

I also roast for personal consumption, about 25 pounds per year, and concur on the price increase. Just a few years ago green coffee was in the $6.50 range (and when I started roasting about 7 years ago, even $5), but as you said more like

Ooh, thanks for finding that. I'll definitely want to try out the Orenz models and the Uni as well.

My most treasured tools when I used to draw were Pentel 0.3 sliding sleeve pencils, model PS523. The sleeve let me put a lot of pressure on a very fine lead without breaking. And of course the lead was wonderful to use, very smooth. B was t

Perhaps so, but it's not right for a study of 144 white, straight, young people to get conflated into representing all men and women.

Not the person you asked, but I also have a 2 word middle name. I enter both but it's a crapshoot as to whether it will take the first, the second, or both. I think a lot of older systems could handle 2 words in the first name (e.g. Jo

I see what you're saying. Perhaps an upfront messaging would have been sensible, e.g. stating that Americans of Asian descent have no connection to this virus. But I'm unsure of how much effect it would have on bigots who will be

There have been several instances where the QAnon types (e.g. Marjorie Taylor Greene) have baselessly accused mass murder suspects of being trans, or incorrectly accusing trans people of being the culprit in a violent incident. There is goo

They respect laws when it comes to applying them against people they don't like. They'll probably even make up some new ones just to be extra prosecutorial.
