I was regularly getting flats with a new to me road bike. I switched to Continental Grand Prix 4 Season and haven't had a flat in 2 years in Portland, OR (though my frequency is down with the pandemic).

I think I listened to the podcast in question biking last week. https://armchairexpertpod.com/pods/michael-pollan For what it's worth, I came away with a completely positive view of Harper's, though maybe I d

I think society does a poor job communicating the actual lack of safety that comes from sedentary, physically repetitive jobs. I wouldn't qualify for workers compensation for my herniated disc because I don't know when it started

I worked on a Rust project at work for several months. Compile times were not a significant issues for developers where it was generally cached. For example, repeatedly running a test only compiled a small amount of code. It was a bit slow

I only think I have very occasional allergies by observing my health during the pandemic. I have no clue what it's from. I just assumed they were colds before, though I certainly had less illness of any kind this last year.

Ahh, the infuriation of seeing the issue you worked hard to document, closed by summarily by somebody that didn't even try to understand. And of course that person didn't close their pet project or the features they promised. It&#

Anecdotal, but my new 16 inch MBP drops BT connections all the time. I had to give up the keyboard and mouse I've used for years across at least 5 computers, mostly Mac's because they disconnected so much. Even the Apple keyboard

Black people and women are humans with equal rights. I believe this is basic humanist morality, but also they are a protected class before the law that can't be discriminated against in many cases. A false video is just a false video.

I believe the US has gotten more toxic recently, in part because more and more liars and charlatans have technology enabled bullhorns. They flood feeds with garbage content that takes sober headed folks too long to wade through. It's n

Right, you have to find your actual upload, not the video. They are different, the video is NOT your upload. I agree this is a bit confusing, but I hadn't really struggled with it since I play my uploaded music from albums and playlist
