> vintage cars that were unremarkable Yeah, I thought of the first corvettes that had catalytic converters: 1974 models had the last true dual exhaust system that was dropped on the 1975 models with the introduction of catalytic convert

netflix did this. I didn't use streaming for a (long) time, they turned it off. Kudos.

I think trader joe's is what people i know do for small curated quantities. They know what they're doing. The shoppers there might still be the same costco members though :)

People do high-speed driving on the smooth lakebed. Encountering a lag bolt might be quite dangerous.

Apple "values your privacy" but has a multi-thousand-page privacy policy. But an offline phone? no tracking, but you can still turn on location services, siri, maps (with directions). it also doesn't need wifi or cellular,

google and cloudflare are becoming the master gatekeepers. with cloudflare, I cannot use my old browser, I cannot browse many sites without javascript or cookies. recaptcha? that prevents me from doing business with many sites, let alone br

I kind of wonder if there were color photos of the actors and scenes from the time of some of the black-and-white movies. You could use them as conversion-training-data with AI to auto-colorize the movies. (maybe they do that now?)

You know what I do? I have a second iphone. main iphone - mostly revolves around phone and messages. lockdown mode. no bluetooth, no wifi, no location services, privacy stuff all restricted. I also do some web browsing. I run adblock which

thinking of weird loads... I friend told me a story of when he drove trucks in a previous life. Once he had to drive a water tanker truck and someone ran a red light in front of him as he entered an intersection. He slammed on the brakes,

Or slower... I got really good mileage once. The charging station I chose was not working and I drove to a nearby station doing maybe 25 on city streets long after midnight. Instead of arriving with 1% I arrived with 4%. Probably would ha

Yes, I appreciate a long game. But you're right comparatively few games give you "more game" vs "more filler" For example, I liked factorio because I was always struggling with the "current paradigm" and t

For some reason I thought of the book "What do you care what other people think?" which should be read after "Surely, You're Joking Mr Feynman" Completely unrelated books about curiosity not people skills, but still

Go and read the book or audiobook "Younger Next Year" great book. Explains the biology of aging, how to delay/reverse it and how to retire well. Good background and good advice.

I'm finding that more and more, when I impulsively go to the theater and try to buy tickets at the door... I always find the only tickets available are horrible, like in the front row to the side. You want like F-6 and F-7 and get A-2

I found it fascinating that jetliner tires are designed to blow during extreme braking. An aborted takeoff (say microburst warning goes off), or an emergency landing will heat the brakes and tires to maximum. But there are plugs that wi

I kind of wonder if the analogy might also carry over to the age of AI. if you were hiding in cover during ww1, maybe you had a chance. But if you were hiding from the Terminator, who is "Tireless, Fearless, Merciless", it might n

I missed navigation. I think it is a natural fit for the touchscreen. Tesla navigation is not perfect, but it is very good. You can pan/zoom the map with swipes which is LOTS better than buttons. You can also search for an address i

> cost of doing business? I hate this part, I don't think it is good for society. I think UPS gets lots and lots of parking tickets, and pays them as COB. Maybe they should have "fix it" tickets, like they get for a burn

I think they should distinguish between controls and settings. Settings are great on a touchscreen. A wide variety of options, easily navigated to and explained. They suck on physical buttons, it ends up being like setting the time on a V
