This doesn't completely fill your needs, but the Apple "TV" app does a great job with cross-app searching. For most any content I want to watch, I have one place to go to search for it, I know if it's available on any of

They have a warehouse somewhere in the eastbay, so if you're in the Bay Area, shipping is outrageously fast. Also, back when I decided to go deep on writing with pencils, I asked for suggestions on Twitter and the JetPens corporate acc

It's also about your communication style. If you know what an HTML tag is for, can you clearly explain it in language that's easy to understand? If you don't know what it does, do you just say that, or do you try and bullshit

I have a hot water bottle that I use occasionally in the winter months. Filled with boiling water it'll be too warm to handle for about 45 minutes, then comfy for hours. Tucked under the comforter it's frequently still a little wa

I bought a $1MM house in the bay area on a salary 1/10th of that. $2MM/year TC buys you a heck of a lot of house.

Are you trolling or do you really think that "every winter you'll be wearing a state mandated mask"? We've been in this pandemic now for close to 2 years. At every single point, government rules and guidance have lagged

Americans are full-on insane with their opposition to mask mandates.

[Disclaimer: I work in the US] It's just so hard to correctly evaluate health care plans, though. Even at the company I work for now, it took multiple evenings of spreadsheets, calculations and hypotheticals to choose from one of the t

I think about it this way: Apple collects data about me in the Apple Stocks app so that it can serve relevant ads in the Apple News app. This is fine and expected, I’m using an Apple app, I expect it to use my behavior to influence other Ap

Fermented peppers are amazing, easily one of my favorite toppings for burgers, ramen, pizza, etc. If you haven't tried it, fermented tomatoes are super interesting. They create a weird yellow liquid that doesn't taste like anythin

This doesn't make sense to me. Don't most mass shooters go into it expecting to die? If you know you're going to die anyway, what deterrent would armed civilians be? Glancing at this list of mass shootings, it seems like most

FWIW, drunk driving laws don't make sense to me. The benefits of sober driving should speak for themselves.

Moves like this just make no sense to me. Assuming the governor isn't an anti-vax conspiracy theorist or a "covid is fake" denialist, what possible reason could there be for preventing private businesses from mandating vaccin

I don't think focusing on individual responsibility will work. In order to make a meaningful difference we need to make sure that a) everyone knows what the issues are and what changes need to be made b) everyone is willing to make the

It's fine to let emotions control you, you just need to be aware that they are and make sure it's the right emotions controlling you. I'm happy to continue living in California because emotionally: * I like the weather *

This is yet another "controversy" that I don't get. We're very strict about our children (and ourselves) wearing masks during public activities and around any people we know to be unvaccinated (i.e. other kids). Our kids

YMMV: I liked Hail Mary just as much, if not more then, The Martian. It had the same "solo dude using science and cleverness to solve an impossible problem" with a massively more ambitious plot. Also, the plot twists in Hail Mary

I've been a subscriber to Tangle for a while now and I love his takes on the news. He operates just a little to the right of my own political persuasions, but even when I disagree with him, it's a respectful disagreement. Isaac&#x
