I haven't tried saliva. Usually I just end up with my mask way up my nose and my glasses moved down my nose. That works fine short term but I have to hold my head like a pompous asshole and that's tiring.

Funny to watch the Atlantic change directions on COVID over the last few months. I go back and forth on masks. In general I find them to be a minor inconvenience, although I believe they're more inconvenient for me than most because I&

Utah has a couple spots that are popular for paragliding. I'll never forget the time we visited one of the popular launch spots and saw a man get so high within minutes that we couldn't see him anymore.

Are there sailboat owners offering ocean crossings as a paid "experience"? This is something I'd love to try without making it my entire lifestyle immediately.

If we're going to change Facebook to M for Meta then we should change Google to A for Alphabet. Then the acronym is MAAAN.

Which parts do you think are doing poorly? The names of their products. How do you keep anything straight when the name of each product is UUID?

Some of us were in Kindergarten about then so we would have missed the original Show HN for that. Glad to have found it eventually though.

This might not add much to this discussion in particular, but I find it interesting how much I want the big billion dollar company to be evil. This guys post and the other Stripe hate really draw me in and then of course lots of the argum

Can someone steelman this judges reasoning here for me? I just can’t see it. This seems like insanity to me in at at will state. The worst part is that the damage has already been done. Employees that would have left their job to find bette

When I worked at a call center doing technical support, customers would often get frustrated. But as soon as they crossed the line into unprofessional, I informed them I was hanging up the call, and did. Why would anyone in a service based

I don't think so. Humans are pretty good at keeping in sync with one another. This story and most on antiwork are likely fake and people are just keeping in sync to play reddits upvote game.

It's different and worse than you say. We put it on a pedestal, decided it was worth any cost, decided everyone should have the ability to go, but that they should all have to shoulder that burden themself. A large part of the issue ri

The crucial aspect here is deliberation. If you decide that you want to watch Netflix, or relax, or socialize, then that's quality leisure. The issue is that many of us are driven by The Algorithm to spend hours a day doing things we&#

This is an unsolved problem for me as well. How do I add focus to my free time, while giving meaningful time to my kids, and adjusting on a dime when they demand my attention? This is currently my biggest excuse to waste time. Why try to fo

“Poach senior leadership out from under” means “steal away from.” So it’s easy to hire senior leadership from companies run by Musk. “Cry uncle” is an idiom meaning “admit defeat”. So they work there for 18 months, realize they can’t handle

I’ve found some use for it. For example, I’m a significantly better parent when I take time in the morning to remind myself that I might die today. Similarly useful is reminding yourself that your family members might die today.

Do we have enough data to make this much more precise based on personal information? Seems like much of the useful data would be locked behind medical privacy laws but I would love to see one that took into account current health conditions

That’s a bit different from my experience. Every time I became eligible, I immediately went to Walgreens website and made an appointment for that week. No hassle at all. Where do you live that it’s that difficult?

The UI is also terrible. I always end up on the marketing page for a show and have to figure out how to be redirected to the page that actually lets me stream.

Same here. We lived in a grid system suburb where the roads next to us were used all hours of the day by cars. There was a constant stream of illegally modified trucks screaming past us and waking us up all hours of the night.

Pro tip, get the old folks talking, and take out your phone to record. Whatever they're talking about, even if they're talking about nothing at all. They'll all be gone soon, and having video of your boring everyday interacti

In the US you can and often will be pulled over for going too slow, because it’s suspicious. This effectively makes the speed limit the only speed you can drive without fear of police interaction.
