What came out after the BSG reboot? I've known there was at least some influence from mormon culture since the 80s when the original had several references, the biggest being, IIRC, Athena and Apollo's wedding where they used the

I've gotten used to the idea that it seems like if I get a solar roof and power system that I can charge my electric car during the zombie apocalypse, where as AFAIK, I can't easily create gasoline or enough hydrogen for a hydroge

No, if I have to do it solo and then wait until non-solo to discuss I lose the flow. To me it's like music. I can't jam without people to jam with live.

I find I'm way more productive when I can discuss solutions with coworkers often. Run ideas buy them, etc. My thinking gets clearified and they often suggest things that lead to better designs. With that, I get a clearer mental picture

You make courses about how to make money making courses. This reminds me of an episode of Reply All. They ordered some cheap Rolex rip off, it was even worse than they expected. They found out they were all being sold on shopify and that if

Sounds nice. Though not as nice as collaborating with co-workers. How do you deal with meetings? work info that's not public? etc..?

Just curious but in what ways? Me, I used Windows for years until ~2008. In 2008 I started using both Mac and Windows. In 2010 I started using Linux, Mac, and Windows. I never really found one better than another. Each one had their strengt

Cool! Is this doing something more than just generating bitmap images with stable diffusion and then running some vectorizer on top? Maybe just adding "vector art" to the prompts or is there more going on?

I just went to check it on the iPhone App store. I know that ratings might not mean anything? but, I noticed it was rated 3.9 of 5 stars vs several other podcasts with up to 6x to 90x more votes and 4.5 to 5 stars. Is it just a popularity c

People say this all the time in all kinds of product categories. They are nearly always wrong. There's always some feature you didn't think of. Plenty of good and useful features have been added to podcast apps since the first one

wow, to each their own... I just installed spind based on this but it wanted me to pick categories so it could spam me with suggestions. There's no skipping it so I uninstalled. I have zero desire for a podcast app to suggest podcasts
