New York requires annual car inspections that include emissions testing as well as a basic safety check (tires, brakes, head/signal/brake lights, horn, fluids, and a few other things). They "only" cost $20 but they put a

Interestingly, Long Island City in New York has become the same sort of concrete soulless high rise area, with an equally uninteresting name. https://ny.curbed.com/2016/8/31/12732412/long-island-city-de..

+1 for diesel exhaust. It gives me weird flashbacks of being on like a Greyhound bus or Amtrak train when I was little and with my family which are somehow comforting.

Anecdotal but the gamification of exercise with respect to some of the newer products out there (Peloton, Zwift, Apple Fitness+) seems to be a step in this direction. I've been using Zwift for the past couple of months and have ridden

Yeah, by that logic any car that came with a tape deck had "future aux cord capability": https://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/312120241135-0-1/s-l1000.jpg

Yeah, I'm seeing what almost looks like さは and でる in there, but that's about it.

This is one of the major things I miss about drinking in bars. I've had many super enlightening conversations with people I would otherwise never talk with at bars after a couple beers. YMMV of course, but as a "happy drunk"

For me it was team sports or group hobbies, in non-pandemic times, anyway. Search for something that interests you and see if groups in the area exist for it. You always at least have the focus of the group in common with everyone there, an

I agree with all this. I've been WFH remote for a little over 3 years now. My productivity went down a little the first couple years, but it's dipped a lot more in the past year, even though I was already "used to" WFH.

That's possible, but as others in the comments have mentioned it may be more people with bad lighting/positioning who just decided it was the camera/USB software that was faulty. Still, maybe it does suck. I never tried any o

This, to me, is the right attitude to have. I really hope the pendulum eventually swings back to it being acceptable to have nuanced opinions about things. Nowadays if you dislike one thing a corporation does, or one publicized event from s

They're way better than they used to be. I have a few Sigma "Art" lenses that are incredible, at half the price (at least at the time) of the Nikon equivalents.

Thanks. I haven't gotten into 3D printing myself, but I'll check that out and maybe have a friend print one for me.

Ah...yeah, I didn't even consider "shot" being similarly weird. I guess I'm just used to it.

Have you considered a bundle that includes a case? I don't do a lot of maker/tinkering stuff so having the chip loose or on a breadboard wouldn't work for me in most situations. But I do sometimes have a need for an oscillosc

I'm a native English speaker (American) and have thought it was odd for a few weeks that Reuters in particular likes to use the word "jab" for "vaccination". It's not commonly used that way in the US.

Acronyms and other jargon are the exceptions, absolutely. But half the time when I see these used it seems more like "intelligence signaling" than an actual means of making communication more efficient. Domain specific jargon migh

I've spent my whole life using punctuation and full sentences when typing. Does it make me seem cold? Maybe, but it'd take more conscious effort for me to change it at this point, which sorta defeats the purpose of some commenters

Thanks for mentioning this. I've been using a HomePod/HomeKit for a while already, but was curious if there was a way I could get my cheapo IP cameras' feeds into the Home app. I was using Zoneminder, but that was kind of ove
