Well I dunno. I prepare food myself like soups and stews and all and what I found makes the difference between my wife and kid saying "meh" or "fantastic!" is two hefty spoons of salt.

I have YouTube premium but sometimes I can't login to my Google account and have to use plain, ad-infested version of YouTube and it's really unusable. I swear that listening to a 3 minutes content I am played at least 6 ads of at

I assume it's similar to the system of "minorities quotas" for admission into Romanian universities in Transylvania. The region has a significant number of Hungarian ethnics and used to have Germans too but now they're r

I know this from modern perspective, I make myself a tonic vodka sometimes and the ratio of tonic over vodka needs to be very high to not taste the latter.

Re: getting drunk on alcohol free beer. I remember one time in college at a party when I drank a large cup of Cola or Fanta something. Then colleagues laughed and told me it was half vodka. In like 5 minutes I could barely walk. Then they l

LOL, that's good :)) I just learned a new thing, can't wait for the opportunity to use it in real life.

Sadly "giving up" on using "their" services is inconvenient to you a lot more than it's hurting them. Sure you can refuse to use Facebook and Glassdoor and Amazon and Google account authentication, but then you migh

Yeah, Iceland is like the last place I'd have guessed people swarm to get swimming lessons. Like I go to Crete in August and I cringe entering the sea coze it feels cold. When I was a kid I'd bathe in local rivers, hills area and

Yeah, it's very plausible that if another civilization exists some 10 light years away, the vehicle they use to travel 90,460,730,472,580 Km in order to get to Earth has the size of a compact car and copies the design of a 1950s experi

Well, you never know it's gonna be a crash so there's never "just before crash". But definitely "never keep all your eggs in one basket". At most a quarter of all your net worth in stocks and that only if you e

Nah, you're wrong. Japan's stock market dropped 90%. For 15 years straight, and never recovered above 80% of it's peak. US is only "special" until it isn't. This didn't mean society collapsed and they star

Can't speak for everyone but my worry for productivity while on the edge of burnout had nothing to do with sacrificing myself for the company. I was worried for my job, that's it. That falling below some unreasonable threshold of

So using the "wage slave" rethoric is punished now by the Thought Police. Happy happy thoughts and be greatful for the opportunity to trade our lives for a measly pay working for the man.

This shows what they failed to consider in those optimistic views of the 1930s like John Maynard Keynes who predicted that his grandkids would work just 15 hours a week. Slaves don't trade productivity for their lives, they trade time.

Terrible, terrible interface in the linked website. I've no idea how much to scroll to get "next" paragraph of content. Gave up after a few attemps, I don't care what he's trying to say, that UI deserves to die.

Yeah and additionally, most silent movies were garbage. Even the good ones are total crap by modern standards. Who would have watched them again? A few weirdos and only a tiny random subset chosen by random criteria. Might as well watch the

The British prince guy was a fraud. I'll be honest with you, I'm a bum but God be my witnesses, if you send me $100k, I'll unfreeze for you $50,000 in a Swiss Bank (not Credit Suisse).

Totally agree with you. Looking at the comments only makes more obvious the snowflakeness and detachment from reality of the "software artists" bunch. If they hire a guy to (re)model their bathroom, they expect it for free done ye

I commuted 2 hours each way. Now I work 2 jobs from home and it's obvious that commuting was not only not paid but preventing me from making a decent income, keeping me poor and trapped in a crappy suburb.
