I have exactly the same experience and I am baffled how people get value from Twitter. I keep creating an account, going in, getting baffled, then leaving. Why are so many smart and insightful people on Twitter? Because it's easier tha

4 times out of 5 I find the price on booking.com to be 20% ~ 40% cheaper than the price on the place’s own website. Even when I call them for a price like booking.com (because I hate giving Booking my money), the place says the best price i

I would downvote a one-word comment like "No." because this class of comment does nothing to further discussion. If it were "No, and here's why" then I'd upvote it instead.

This is commonly cited, but I wonder if anybody has studied how much communication happens by voice and screenshare, and whether there's a net loss compared to face-to-face. I get all my work communication done through voice and shared

I don't like being on camera and I'd wager many (if not most) people don't. We do it because we have to, not because we want to. And I don't have to because I don't work with clients or take roles in which me being

How incredibly frustrating! I empathize. You're not the only one who has experienced this sort of Kafkaesque behavior from mods on Reddit, where no matter what you explain, no matter what supporting evidence you provide, no matter what

Like another commenter said, it's awful: they're visually lifeless and they don't add value in terms of being illustrative of the idea their associated text block is meant to convey, nor do they catch the eye in the first pla

> Although short-haul private flights on a small, four-person jet can start at $6,000 to $7,000 one way, a transatlantic flight on a larger, 12-person aircraft can go for as much as $120,000 one way.

We'll need a pi-hole like device, which does presence-detection to cut off electricity to the TV when you're not in the room, assuming that remains legal. The other day at midnight I was woken up by an Amber Alert for a somewhat n

Yeah, the last quarter or last third of Season 1 was a drop in story quality. But Season 2 has picked up and gotten good again. One thing I'm enjoying, unlike in 90s sci fi, is when the characters call out obvious threats and take them

I like Raised by Wolves . A lot of it is "here's another unrealistic coincidence" and "that character has a lot of plot armor", but I'm hoping it's because the overarching mystery story makes it that way.

If you want to get to AGI, it doesn't really have to be a remote possibility with current techniques. The only thing current techniques would have to do is build something that improves itself intelligently enough. Then the next iterat

My 2015 13" MacBook Pro became unusable due to thermal throttling. It regularly heats up from 60º cold boot to 100º seemingly at random. Is it VS Code? A bunch of open tabs? Running the Firebase emulator? I haven't been able to pi

Please include esomeprazole. I find the timing before first meal is very important. Doctors told me 20 ~ 30 minutes before first meal, but 45 ~ 60 minutes seems to work much better.

I wish there were a one-time fee I could pay for permanent access to pro icons. Currently it's $99/yr for (almost all) icons. Whereas the free plan icon selection is the same as, or less than, other free icon libraries.
