   You're right that big dinosaurs only lost because they were big, not because they were an evolutionary dead end of some sort. From an anthropocentric point of view, though, they seem very dead end. Despite bipedalism and possible warm

   Flattr style micro-payments doled out based on impressions of a page (or their evil twin, ads) seem more honest than subscribing a la patreon. (I subscribe to a lot of creators with patreon.) I frequently hear and read people not wanting t

   My son played a CD ROM game from like 1998 by my just ripping to an ISO and mounting on Win 10. The print button in the game even printed to our modern printer.

   I don't want the 10,000 photos, just the 30 good ones like my parents had. If all my digital photos disappeared, I'd be left with the random selection I happen to have printed, which is not as select as the photos my parents took

    Certainly. Lots of ways to blunt sugar's effects on blood-sugar by eating it with something else. And this can be specific to individuals. Apples don't impact me much at all, but do for other people. My contrived sugar-cube-die

    That's a weird pamphlet. It goes on to say sugary soda increases risk because it's calorie and carbohydrate high. I get that "cause" is too strong, genetic predisposition is a huge factor, etc. But can we really expect t

    I'm a lot happier with a fad for Rust-written CLI tools than the disappointment of reading install instructions for a simple CLI tool that starts with "First... npm... bower..."

    I thought Czech Republic was big on civilian gun ownership with it in their constitution. I'm not a gun... enthusiast, so I don't remember if they differ from the US in requiring gun owners to be responsible or anything.

    I always wonder if processor terms force vendors not to offer a separate cash price (or cash discount) or if it's just the pain of doing it that makes it not super common. I only use points cards because I'm trying to claw back t
