OK I have a use case for this that's just spot-on. I just signed up, thank you so much for making this, it's the perfect tool I didn't know I needed. I help tech people with immigration filings. One of the most important comp

Thanks most kindly for that link. I'd never heard of phind, but it instantly solved a knotty CSS question I've been stuck on. I really like the matter-of-fact tone of "here's how you do that." Refreshing, after days

Do named computers also develop traits or personalities? Fragile | sturdy, balky | cooperative, high-maintenance | easygoing, spiteful | nice, etc.? Like, "oh, there goes Icarus again, it's always been contrary."

I might have the opposite problem. I like my space way more than my stuff. I want all my corners cleaned out, all paper mail recycled, all counters clear. Luckily I haven't yet tipped into "compulsive decluttering" which is a

I'm a happy Neeva user and I'll miss it. I even liked the media bias feature. Tried a Google search yesterday and it was ridiculously pointless. I'm looking forward to trying your product.

Slime molds are also incredibly beautiful and diverse. There's a photographer whose specialty is gorgeous macro shots of slime molds. https://mymodernmet.com/barry-webb-slime-mold/

"Rex Brasher painted more birds than Audubon, and he never owned slaves." This is a wonderful profile of a truly underappreciated artist. I'd never heard of him, and I'm glad I have now. The Rex Brasher Association seeks

Those guys must have known each other. They were contemporaries. Paisley b. 1923, Szulc b. 1927. They traveled in the same circles. They were both really good at their jobs. The Paisley article had some deep CIA sourcing, and Szulc's s

That's a really freaky story. Merits a thread of its own. --He was a senior CIA analyst of Russian nuclear capacity during the Cold War. --Ruled a suicide, but shot in back of head. --Not positively ID'd as him. Bunch of funny bus

The original article called it "perhaps the most beautiful piece of wilderness musings ever released through the FOIA."

I've actually pondered this question a lot, while driving, canoeing, and otherwise self-propelling through the world. The closest I can get to it is, there's an embodied intelligence that's activated in the open air in our na

Wow, there's a lot of CIA boating lore. This article also mentions the prior disappearance of CIA operative John Paisley from his sailboat in 1978, 18 years earlier: "Paisley’s decomposed body was found in the bay a week later, we

Yeah, ew, good point, that's nasty. Like the Avtex superfund site upstream in Front Royal VA. https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0... Makes you wonder about the CIA itself, doesn'

The river did freeze solid in January 2018. Skating from MD to VA was a peak life experience for sure. And seeing a guy ride his bike down the middle of the river.

I'd forgotten this story. Apparently it spun up a lot of conspiracy stories and theories about not-natural causes. Thanks for flagging this, it's interesting.

Full disclosure, I lived on the island part-time for 10 years. There's a stationary rope affixed to the mainland and to a tree on the island. You get there (and back) by pulling the little ferry hand-over-hand along the rope. It was my

This quote from the original article by Robert Sinclair, the CIA analyst, is one of the most profound things I've ever read. "What do I get out of all this? For a moment, I get to evade modern man's almost complete dependence

Good insight, thanks. The article title would be clearer with a reference to foraging or wild onions. It's not obvious at first that it's on Serious Eats.

Hah yes, I just looked again at this headline, thanks for the clarification. Edited to add: Ramps are highly aromatic wild onions that are foraged in natural areas. They're celebrated at festivals throughout West Virginia as heralding

I learned a lot from his writing. This view of the immune system really shifted my perceptions too. Maybe having your work help people, even years after your death, isn't a bad legacy.
