I highly suggest you unfollow everyone on LinkedIn as well; the result is the same: nothing in your feed and no ads, but everything is still available to you—like searching for jobs and looking at profiles/messaging folks. I don’t have

I used to cache a ton; but, have only found a handful a year (outside of an annual guys trip with caching friends that has become more about chasing states where we’ve found caches (49 for me; just missing AK)) and hitting breweries. Good t

Yes? To counter your anecdote, I have never worked for a company (6) where the CEO wasn’t local. My team and I are fully remote but our execs are not and are not permitted to be.

Or, you know, don’t install a bunch of distracting apps on your device. Delete everything you don’t need. But, IMHO, this is not really about not having a smartphone to avoid distractions or eschew tech; it’s about a trendy backward looking

As someone who just went through a messy divorce planned for the entirety of the 18m affair my ex-wife was having, there is no court on this earth that I would ever say is reasonable.

Based on the Mint website, it appears to be $360 up-front + $360 or $720 for their 'unlimited' annual which I don't know if it includes tethering. I pay ~$684 for VZW for the year, for unlimited w/tethering and HBO Max +

I absolutely refuse to pay for a phone; call me old-school, but I am still stuck in the memory of the days when they came 'free' with service contracts. Me? I will happily take a slightly outdated phone with a new provider/

My son is absolutely mind-boggingly good at video games compared to me. We played the Q1 port on the Switch and he had several maps mastered in a day, along with RJing, jumping in general, and aiming in a way which took me months to master.

It makes a lot of sense if I am traveling with more than two, staying more than two nights, and I want to cook my own meals and/or do laundry. I’m traveling to upstate NY for a wedding during the fall. All of the shitty motels and hote

The article says 5-15% report sexual dysfunction while on SSRIs but doesn’t report on the opposite: how many have improved sexual function. It tries to correlate the drop in fertility rates since 1970 with the rise in SSRI prescriptions; ho

I miss my Hiptop(s). Nothing has come close to that experience since. I could carry on 10 AIM conversations, IRC, and be doing browsing and email while typing at ~100 WPM.

Quality and accessibility is my belief. Meta's Llama3x are great models but they're not providing the same quality and/or accessibility as OpenAI does. Take a look at all the products attempting to sit themselves on top of Op

I am part of the group that misses unlimited PTO. I was averaging 8-9 weeks of time off under the unlimited model while I am capped at 5 weeks at a company with actual PTO. The only difference is that I get paid out any remaining PTO, shoul

I bought one in 1998 or 1999 with dual 366s OCd to 700 each; anything over 700 was too unstable for my setup. I kept that thing running until 2008 or 2009. Great machine.

Based on this table there's been a 1100% increase over the last 7 years, with a 60% increase between 2020 and 2021. I'd be interested to see WHY this is the case. Is it attributable to a larger share of data that cannot be compres

Trump and Biden are fucking useless and shouldn’t be in office. I think they both should be banned from the office of the president. While we’re at it: George W. Bush is a war criminal and should be tried at The Hague. Obama was the best Re

The article addresses some of this by stating there are folks, myself included, who simply cannot concentrate on something that requires attentiveness while in the air on a flight.

We’re specifically talking about singing Happy Birthday in public, not offering 182,000 titles ripped from mainstream networks and other streaming services and then charging $9.99 to $19.99/month and making millions.

That’s like comparing for-profit higher ed and not-for-profit higher ed. Both are entirely motivated by money; one just is overt about it. Everyone is all about making the most money in the fastest way possible and few truly give a hoot abo

Imitators may get frustrated by the need to go deep with others because they can’t, but to say that experts don’t share that same frustration is nonsense. There are many audiences who want you to go deep, but are not capable of a necessary
