Vehicles, when first invented, were 100% a luxury, not a necessity. They only became a “necessity” once they went mainstream and the world started evolving with vehicles becoming a part of everyday life. I can certainly see the same thing h

> I clean my solar panels, 7kwh, every monmth or two. This honestly sounds like a non-trivial strike against installing solar panels, especially if they’re installed on tall roofs. I definitely wouldn’t want to have to clean them that of

1. I feel like “trial and error” is often not a great way to solve puzzles. If you can brute force your way to a solution, that’s usually a sign of poor puzzle design. To be clear, I’m not saying whether this one is easy to brute force, jus

Rather than counting mistakes, just allow mistakes, and just not let the puzzle get solved until it’s complete without mistakes. This is how most of Simon Tatham’s puzzles work, and that works well.

Not to mention, even “googol” is a word almost no one uses (unlike “apple” and “Amazon”).

Side note: I miss SSX. Such a great franchise, and sad that EA Big shut down (and that no one else picked it up). Tricky was probably my favorite, but they were all great.

There are two individuals being sued, but many more received letters. Parent is being downvoted likely because their statement implies the “dozens” receiving letters are individually being sued, but that’s not the case.

Could you imagine someone walking around with their phone pointed wherever they look, recording the whole time, as they casually walk down the street, sit at a cafe, or engage in a conversation with you? How are these things not publicly sh

> Baith was right. My wife missed that word, and it said the correct word was “habit”. I also did “baith” (for the same reason as OP), and ended up making it to 16, but I feel like I shouldn’t have, since I’ve never heard of “baith”. I w

I’ve had two S5s die on me recently. They kept shutting down in the middle of a clean, and from what I read, it needed a battery replacement. Ordered one off Ali Express, and after another couple months, it also started dying. So replaced i

You’re missing the parent’s point. You’re still making introversion out to be something that you should work at to compensate or fix, because not doing so would be unhealthy. E.g. you exercise because if you don’t, you risk disease, cancer,

> You do it because if you don't, then you'll be worse off years later. This feels hyperbolic. While I would agree that community and remaining connected are very important to overall health, I don’t feel like making a habit

Of all the jobs to get replaced by AI, I would be happy to see realtors to be first in line (but I also think this is wishful thinking). I feel like I get very little value out of what seems to be a mostly fixed/required price. I know

Oh, my kids are older now (18 and 21), but when they were younger, we definitely did plenty of LAN-party games like Minecraft, StarCraft (1 and 2), Terraria, Torchlight, and (when they were older) TFC (which we had some hilarious times play

It may not be completely over, but it’s far from the focus of multiplayer gaming. Many games that used to offer couch multiplayer (e.g. split screen) options no longer do. The upcoming Starfox remake is a great example (no split-screen mult

This is true, to an extent, but one missing variable is peers, and the — sometimes outsized — influence they have relative to parents. Some parents limit screen time and delay giving their children phones, but if their peers all have phones
