This rant reminds me of how I felt at the end times of usenet in the mid-late 90s'. Usenet groups were awesome, until they were overrun by spammers and angry egos. Then I had to go. The problem that others have pointed out, if reasonab

Shopping on Amazon has deteriorated gradually over the last three years. It has become enough of a chore that I am considering dropping my Prime membership. The third party sales flood the market with so much crap that it drowns out the qua

When I am shopping online, and I find three or four suppliers that are close in product and price, the first thing I do is eliminate all those that don't allow PayPal. I only use PayPal for online purchasing. I will consider Google Pay

Preindustrial you didn't spend time shopping, you spent time growing your own food and preserving it. You didn't spend time figuring out insurance, because there was no health care, at all. You didn't have bills because you p

Agree. Ever have to stand waist deep in cow shit? I have. One of the things that encouraged me to go back to college. After the farm job I twisted wrenches for a living. Six day fifty hour weeks were the norm, the pay was meh, and I had ove

Termination without notice or payment is definitely considered bad form, short of the company closing due to bankruptcy. I have never worked anywhere that did not provide notice or some severance. Even at a startup that cut 50% prior to goi

It all depends on what you did for a living. Case in point, agriculture. Averaged over a year, maybe it wasn't too bad, but during planting and harvesting, the day didn't end. And animals need feeding and care through the day, so

Your thermometer is only a good indicator if it provides a comparison of the current temperature to the average temperature for that moment plus windowed samples over the last one hundred years. Otherwise, it just tells you the current temp

Such screaming! The issue I perceive is that Google and FSF are both at opposite ends of a spectrum. I know that Google has a commercial agenda, and I know that Google uses my data. Maybe the headline should be that Google harms clueless ig

And the roof was not part of the original structure, it had been completely rebuilt, yes a long time ago, but still completely rebuilt. My guess is that if they had access to modern materials at the time, they would have opted for that. Als
