I love these old jRPGs. I couldn't have told you the plot, but I remember the mechanics of this and FF2 very well. Modern rpgs are truly fantastic, but I don't enjoy them nearly as much.

And just imagine with friendly fire turned on. Even if it was all accidental (no trolls), you can die from any direction at all times.

Adam Savage went on and on about his favorite soldering station in a YouTube video, so if anyone wants a recommendation, search for that.

In the glory days, cast iron pans were milled perfectly smooth on the cooking surface. Lodge casts their pans without surfacing, so you have a porous surface. I have a lodge and it's okay, but I prefer my antique Wagner when I can. It

Thanks. I don't think it should be every dude's dream, though. When we bought the bar, I had never had a drink in my life! I was an active pool player, though, and pool league was important in our growth. The bar scene definitely

That's likely. We had one partner who had worked in bars for a long time, so he had those ideas about good service etc. I brought "all things computer" and a willingness to bust my ass. I also am the most logical and money-co

We thought it made sense given our limited budget, the price the guy was asking, and the ready-to-go equipment and clientele. It was a minimal investment, but I was simultaneously all-in. We had to be profitable to start, and frankly that u

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but I have a non-tech story: I bought a small B&M business--a bar--in 2010. I had 2 partners, which quickly became just one partner. The existing business was using a small bar area, b

I think I had to wait about 6 months to rent an HTML4 book from the library. It was massive. Maybe 6 inches thick. I devoured it, and later bought my own copy.

I worked in the hot Florida outdoors, with children, for about 7 years through high school and after. Minimum wage. It's the part of my life I'd most want to re-live, though I can't say things have gotten harder or anything.

My first tech job was web dev at a small local shop. I also got out the phone book (and performed extensive google searches) to find all of the local web development companies. I emailed them all, and wound up with two interviews. One was a

He specifically noted that his tuition was paid for. He was paying for supplies & incidentals. Also $400/week in 1982 was fantastic money for an 18 year old. So a normal school-kid could not, in fact, replicate this.

Interestingly, this is exactly the type of behavior I would find distasteful. If I do you the favor of watching your dog, I'm going to be pissed if you're spying on me during the process. I'm sure they knew about it, so I don

Have you tried eating the same thing every day? You might find that you love it and didn't know you loved it. You're expecting anyone to take your opinion seriously? ...etc

I expect in the guy's mind he was thinking more like "after 75 I won't do chemotherapy"

Thanks to you and GP for posting this stuff. That article was written about me, too. I can't count my hobbies on two hands, and I spend a lot of time on HN precisely because the topics are so varied, and I'm interested in most of

I first asked if we could try out WFH for a day or two a week, see how it went. I was upfront that my eventual goal was, if it went well, to move out of country. It did go well, and I did move out of country (only 1 time zone difference)

Bowling, billiards, shuffleboard, darts, disc golf seem suitable off the top of my head. I'm sure there's many more.

No, because it's not normal to accidentally or unknowingly bring explosives to school. It IS normal to accidentally or unknowingly have a flaw in software. So normal that it's likely every piece of software on the planet has flaws

No, because as I understand it we don't judge the winner from the base of the wheel, but rather the front of it.

Mostly the same for me. It's not low-priority, I just frequently fall off the rails--many when I drink alcohol, which happens a lot because I own a bar. I think it's the thing I could do to improve my happiness the most.

Yes, perhaps "simple" was the wrong word. It's hard for me to force myself to avoid short-term pleasure for long-term pleasure, even though I'm quite sure I'd be happier -40lbs than I would be eating all the steak a

Losing weight. The equation is pretty simple. Not too many variables. But the execution is not simple, at least for many of us.

That was mentioned in the article. Spraying weeds happens quite quickly. This vehicle maxes at 5mph so presumably hauling it around would take a lot longer.

I thought Yegge was rather specific about what he thought. He specifically mentioned a bunch of things (Java, emacs, AWS, Android, browsers) that take the approach to deprecation that he wished to see. I would sum up his ideas as: "If
