The components are the main upgrades, pickups are easy to change after the fact. Pickups, bridge, and tuners are the main things on electrics in my experience. PRS wrap around bridges or good quality floyd rose bridges for example. Locking

Oh for acoustic, I really like the Blueridge guitars and Seagull guitars. Seagull are made in Canada with pretty great materials and designs but much cheaper than most American made instruments. I'm more of a high end custom guy for ac

Depends on the type of music you play, Overall, I find PRS designs among the better but some find them sterile. Also the crazy flame top designs can be super expensive and many find them over the top. That said, the bridge, pickups, and tun

I came here to type this! As a former (sads) guitarist the big three(Strat, Tele, Les Paul) electric designs are all flawed and compromised designs IMO. Don't get me wrong I love the sound and feel of the better examples but many guita

Not a photographer but I'm a fly fisherman and the idea of living on a boat and going up and done the coast to fish is a common daydream of mine. Starlink definitely makes that a more likely possibility.

Only if you use traditional farming. Hydroponics, Aeroponics, and Aquaponics use far less resources (more startup capital but far less inputs), can grow year round (assuming indoor grows), and has 5-10x the yield per sq ft.

>>> It takes 5+ acres in a decently arable region with fertilizer to feed one person. By the time you're providing for a significant fraction of your caloric intake, it ceases to be a "garden". This is incorrect, it

That's been my strategy as well, smaller focused subreddit's and instagram only following a few accounts and hashtag's I'm interested in. No influencers or celeb's. I've been FAR healthier since I started that

That's great and all, probably true for a ton of developers. Certainly is and has been for me. Now show us how that's actually useful, the majority of jobs aren't building useful important things. It's building some dumb

That's only true if you don't place a $ value on the environmental impacts.

Actually if you look at no-till and permaculture it 100% can have the same or higher yields per acre. The process of farming also doesn't have to be mind-numbing in this case. The combination of AgTech/Robotics and no-till/pe

That's a huge part of the problem, farming shouldn't be heavily mechanized in the way we do it. Monocrops, pesticides, fungicides, and huge feed lots all have terrible environmental costs. Even aside of Climate Change, soil erosio

The debate wasn't about that fact, it was about rather a white man would have died resisting or if him resisting in the way he did justified his death. The data shows that minorities are killed by cops at much higher rate[1]. He was ac

Yes the US supplies the majority of it's food. I was talking about the first world countries in general. Second the monoculture farming system the US is using creates HUGE environmental costs, it's not just about import/expor

And why is obesity rising so quickly in nearly all first world countries but particularly in the US? Most of the research points at three reasons: 1. Modern food systems - fast food, frozen boxed food, and a severe lack of access to healthy

Because someone has to know how to grow the potato or raise the cow or plant the corn. Right now we (modern first world countries) export that to fragile processes far away. Generally at great cost, environmentally and to the people/co

This isn't progress, it's exporting the work that has to be done, someone has to grow potatoes. We have exported that hard work to poor people across the globe at horrible cost. Cost to the environment, cost to stability, cost to

Average income in 1960 (as an example year since it wasn't listed) $6000 or 10% of that house. Average income in 2021 $65,000, well short of the $80,000 to equal 10% of the house. Also, there has been a large increase in other expenses

The state of media Apps in General is REALLY low. Paramount+ makes me turn on subtitles for EVERY episode and ignores the system settings, HBO Max's app is a dumpster fire, Netflix doesn't integrate with Apple TV or the algo drive

by jaegerpicker 4y ago
That's huge pain. I love my Apple TV and I'm much more likely to cancel netflix than not use the ATV. I also really love the TV app and Watch next, for apps that work with it it's such a great UI IMO.

Are you sure? I know a huge number of users that advocate for Users that expose bigoted views or misinformation to be de-platformed. See the recent Joe Rogan podcast push. That wasn't a tiny percentage of users.

No Corporation has decided anything like that. Corporations are responding to their customers requesting those users to not be tolerated. This isn't Twitter banning anyone because they want to. It's Twitter deciding that enough us

This line of thinking is the only hope of not further destroying the planet! We need renewables to replace fossil fuels ASAP.

Food, I think that Climate Change and population growth will put a ton of pressure on our food systems. There are solutions in place but I think a ton of work should still go into those systems. I am in fact working on that issue, just not

I use Apple Maps in Northern New England (Maine, NH, Vermont, Eastern Canada) and it's actually a little better than Google here in my experience. Apple Maps also fully supports no tracking and a better offline mode IMO. If you are on
