Got anywhere you're willing to write them down? I'm like your reverse twin - I never have ideas I think are commercially viable. But I think I'm a decent coder (30+ years of gainful employment in the Linux space).

It's possible you need a supermajority or something to specifically "undo" laws passed by a previous session of congress - something Biden did not have.

I slowly deconverted from being raised evangelical / fundamentalist into being an atheist in my late 40s. I still "pray" at times just to (mentally) shout my frustration at the sorry state of the world at SOMETHING (even noth

It's probably easier to monetize chocolate bars, pizza and reddit (ads). Easier to slip into "junk" mode and harder to stop. My exercise equipment is long paid for (10+ years ago), I watch sports while exercising (subscriptio

The sad thing is - especially in software/tech - it's so competitive these days, if you don't "live to work", you won't work enough to live.. As a 30+ year software dev, the expectations / requirements are

Blocking payments to wikileaks is on a totally different level than deporting citizens to random countries because they said something mean about you.

Do you mean via credit cards, or on the whole, including a mortgage? We have a mortgage, but have made all but 1 or 2 credit card payments in 20+ years - we forgot to pay a $50 bill once, IIRC. Outside of the mortgage, we've never spen

Agreed with the other response to you - this "reverting to buttons" is a response to the outcry after they all went towards a tesla-like "everything is controlled via the center console" dystopia. Yes, the VERY NEW VWAG

Exactly. The problem is largely due to biology. Someone might try to change this at some point for future "better" humans (eugenics of a sort), but basically impossible to change in existing adults.

Maybe - although it seems these days, being fundamentalist/evangelical is about the only hard-and-fast requirement..

IIRC, the stats say that overwhelmingly, children will become a version of their parents, including beliefs, etc. This actually seems more like the exception than the rule.

It's also mentioned in "the authoritarians" (search for the book and the short-form essay) - roughly half the population is driven by intellectual curiosity about all kinds of things and don't always agree on much - they

Sure - they get the trouble reports. But it's almost as if all the critical decision makers don't drive their own cars in real-life scenarios (drive more expensive cars? Have chaffeurs?) and don't understand how much BETTER i

My Kia Stinger is 6 years old, ~45K miles, including some modifications, 8 HPDE track days, etc. It's had a few quirks that I've had to learn (don't switch from default driving mode to sport while driving in reverse and then

Exactly - "God's judgment on America - bad economy, less jobs, natural disasters, etc" because they are allowing the "sinners" to "sin". Tony Perkins (IIRC) was famous for preaching that God sends floods d

I mean.. people contributing to FOSS generally program in what they know - i.e. I have some time to contribute, I'll spend 10 productive hours in C, because I know what I'm doing, vs. learning Rust only to spend 30 hours and not r

I will let android auto read text messages and/or dictate to me and do phone calls at times - but it has to be hands-free and traffic not too bad. I almost never do anything with my phone at a red light.

I agree, I feel similarly. There are now 25+ car groups on fbook that I have to subscribe to, because the main web-board / usenet group for that car doesn't get anywhere near as much traffic as it used to. Major vendors are provid
