Yes. The Apple Silicon Macbook Airs. That is it. I'm not an Apple fanboy, but I am a fan of silent/efficient computing (and personally own Apple, AMD and Intel computing hardware that qualifies in that category) and it is shocking

It's really bizarre, the American animus towards Asian EVs. We can all complain about Trump's chest-pounding on tariffs, but Biden's largely unexplained 2024 100% (!) tariffs on Chinese EVs were even more restrictive and bare

You are absolutely correct that I was reacting to the text you quoted. This was because I was reacting to... the text that you quoted. The small amount of text you quoted from the linked article was largely in opposition to majority of the

I've been around for many rotations around our sun, have greatly enjoyed dining out with credit cards for several decades, and I review my receipts and bills each month. I have never, ever - and we're talking thousands of transact

First, the credit card company I use for dining will notify me via email if they think there has been an exorbitant tip outside of 45% or so. Second, this would involve me taking a photograph of the receipt at the table, which doesn't

It's possible to come up with excuses for any terrible policy. The presence of excuses doesn't mean in any way that those excuses are good or reasonable.

Why do schools allow phones into classrooms? I don't get it. It's as if schools in the 80s allowed Walkmen into classrooms where we could listen to music in class. That wasn't a thing. Yes, our parents needed to call to the o

They're generally considered to be safe unattended for 3-6 hours for a low-heat (ie, 200-250F) cook if they're clean, well-maintained and away from other flammable things, in the same way that a Crock Pot or low-temp oven cook mig

The computer-controlled pellet loading mechanism provides great smokey, BBQ flavor without the need to continually monitor temperature in person. This allows for long cooks - say, 14 hours with a brisket - without the need to continually ch

We've reached a saturation of totally cromulent phones and phone services, TVs, consumer computing hardware and even cars that make it difficult to look at any reviews as furthering any sort of story of technical development as opposed

I have such mixed feelings about the TI-99/4A. It was our family computer. We rented games for it, and that was fun. I learned BASIC. I tried to create things with it, as advertised, and sort of only semi-succeeded repeatedly. My paren

I know what Keto is. Your point was that carbs cause hunger due to glucose spikes. I've followed low-carb diets, both Keto and high-protein low-carb (the linked article is technically about TCR and not "proper" Keto) for ye

I've done keto, and generally follow a high-protein low-carb diet even on GLPs. I wish things were that easy. Taking carbs out of the equation even over extended periods does not help.

by iwanttocomment 2y ago
You know what the GLPs do that a ketogenic diet doesn't? Make me less hungry. If you can eat a healthy diet and not feel horrifically hungry, yes, by all means, do that first.

Estate tax is when someone dies and another receives an inheritance. The situation the article describes is where adult children are being subsidized by gifts from their parents, which is not in any way illegal, and is subject to gift tax,

The messages from PayPal usually do include that sort of "message from seller". The phishers word these to deliberately exploit the issue. The last time I received a message like this it included this message: "Note from [Fra

Anyone can send a money request or invoice to anyone else via PayPal, which will come from PayPal's servers and valid PayPal email addresses. I'm not defending PayPal here, but people can also arbitrarily send a fraudulent invoice

As someone who has successfully tracked calories in the past with great effort, the trick is to be strict about measuring calorie-dense foods, but to be liberal with "lighter" foods where the calories are functionally de minimis.

Huh? Sonos has done lots wrong lately, but the Sonos One does natively support Airplay 2, was in stores for over 7 years, and still works with the current Sonos software as well as, uh, anything does these days. Perhaps you're thinking

This is a rather misleading headline. New Fuji Instax square-format analog cameras (and it's hard to say that Fujifilm isn't a major film brand) have been released in the past decade, and smaller companies like Lomography have bee
