For me, if I want to move quickly, there's just so many great example React + Firebase projects out there. It's so easy to get started, even if I would prefer to work with postgres over nosql. I could have just missed it in the do

Eye Mask - I sleep so much better and longer with one on. I recommend one that doesn't sit on your eyes directly (has a bit of concavity).

Democratic objections in the past were symbolic, not substantive. They were about narrow but specific election flaws. No expectation of reversing anything. No threats. No breakdown of Law and Order. No takeover of the capitol. No insurrect

I'm very into mountain biking + backpacking and I've realized that it's totally worth it for me to own a car. I've gone years without owning one and I've regretted it later. Yes, it sits there 98% of the time, but t

I know. I tried that so many times. I think I must have marked 'not interested' on thousands of posts at this point. For some reason, IG thinks I'm a track athlete (among many other things). Even for stuff I am legitimately i
