This surprises me a lot. I spin up new react apps with vite often to replicate issues with 3rd party libs we use. Like how do they not know you can just spin something up over on CodePen or CodeSandbox and there's not a hint of a serve

I agree here about the news. Anecdata: my Dad, who is in his 70s, was doing an awful lot of basically doomscrolling his news feed and just reading headlines like, all day. He was cranky, irritable, and just plain getting meaner. My Mom had

I'm a mature woman, older than most of my colleagues. And I do this. I have reached an age where I don't care if it sounds childish. If I'm grumpy, I say so. It has nothing to do (usually) with my colleagues, and I like them

More anecdata; my orange boy also thought he was the family dog. He was rather dumb as a rock, but sweet as pie. Loved every human or animal he ever met. My current cat is a calico and white and she's...emotional. =)

I'm with all the folks who say they've swapped Honeycrisp for Cosmic Crisp. The Honeycrisp I get now is a poor shadow of what it used to be. This article is very interesting. I suspected the quality shift had to do with mass marke

Because we don't have enough garbage in the ocean from all the "disposable", cheaply made products. Let's just keep churning out stuff that breaks within a year and fill up those landfills, oceans, and whatever else need

Another vote for Feedly here. I like the interface, it's pretty simple and I don't need much (nor want more). I'm on the free plan. I can get my feeds from any of my devices, which is important to me. The iOS apps for my phon

I wish we could find a better way. I've had my info stolen via breaches so much that I just pay credit monitoring and keep my credit locked all the time now. At this point every hacker knows more about me than I do.

Not a single one of my family members would know how to even begin to use such a payment system. Several older members don't have smart phones at all. If this is an OPTION that's great, but to make it required means a lot of folks

That seems like an unfortunate name. "Dolt" is another word for "idiot".

Nice. I unfollowed their RSS some time back - might be time to re-add it.

It would take a huge scale study to prove to me that the protein and other nutrients are the same as real meat and just as bioavailable. And I'm not replacing real meat with it until we know those things are true. I might try it as a n

Are you really seeking to change just for remote work? Because project managers absolutely CAN be fully remote. Ours are. =)

I wanted to hate this article, but it actually had advice I've seen posted here many times. Some stuff IS better in person. But a lot is fine remote. And if you support your remote workers properly, even the ones who did better IRL can

That makes a lot of sense. I recall thinking that it just tasted like slightly chocolate flavored sugar and was waxy - no flavor at all, just sweet and waxy. I guess you get what you pay for - my other splurge lately was a tiny chocolate fr

This might explain my recent experience too. I've been on a health journey and stopped eating most junk some time back. Recently, I decided to go ahead and splurge and get a chocolate bar that I always used to love. It tasted like hot

So why are you still there? Just the money, or it takes time to find a new job, or something else? There's plenty of smaller companies hiring still, but not at those salaries. What is it that DOES retain the staff there?

I hate this sentiment. It can be used about, well, anything at all that might cause your risk of anything to go up as far as science understands it today (which might be different tomorrow, they're always learning). Accident while biki

The inability to block ads I personally find offensive is the #1 reason I'll use a browser with ad block over a native app. Reddit and Tumblr are my two biggest offenders that do not let me properly block particular ads - notably gamb

This is quite possible. I use mine to cook wild rice, which takes awhile stovetop. And hard boiled eggs, which come out great. Everything else I've tried with it, I might as well just cook with the stove or oven. I don't like most

I would love to be able to go into a brick and mortar store for my clothes. Unfortunately, most of the brands I buy only carry petite sizes online, or have an extremely limited petite selection which my 90 year old neighbor would love. I&#

"Browse the albums of a particular artist and play it – this is becoming harder and harder" So much agreement here - of the most annoying things to me is that I can't just click on an artist and have an easy way to list every

I will say up front that I have no good solution. That said, as a human, I hate captchas or anything else that makes me jump through hoops to do something that should be simple. The industry is punishing people to avoid bots or (whatever th
