My early rule with vegetarian places is soups. I know there's good options otherwise, but there's plenty of all veg soups everyone already like, and it's not too bad to swap a meat broth with a flavorful veg broth. Vegetables

I mean, maybe you're just better at it, but I was a competitive mountain biker 10+ years ago and the last time I tried to ride a bike a couple years ago, if I'd taken my hands off the handlebars I probably would have crashed in se

I don't think it's degradation any more than my skills at golf or basketball degrade in the 6 months between times I play either of them. I'm the baseline level of good enough that I'm competent, but I definitely don&#x2

Overtaking doesn't happen as much on long haul stretches of highway, in accordance with what you'd assume. Mostly it's either passing a truck that's going under the limit, or because a truck is slower going up an incline

Isn't that just reflecting that you have the exact amount of skill of someone who drives every 3 months? What OP is talking about is people who likely drove for an hour or more every day suddenly barely driving more than a couple times

That doesn't seem like it follows though. Most people are driving the same car they were driving in 2019. It's not like the auto industry went and changed everyone's cars and repaved the roads or something. If this was some l

Without getting too far into the plot, there are definitely dystopian elements, though the part in SF isn't really dystopian in the way that Bridge Trilogy is, so yea. Depends on what OP wants.

Parts of his new series takes place in SF - The Peripheral and Agency. I'd be more specific, but it's somewhat spoilers.

Yea, the Framework's battery issue for me is mostly that there is almost literally no point I could ever trust not having a power outlet nearby with the cable. I've had times where the computer, while fully shut down, loses 30% of

Yea, I'm for sure that it's possible, but it's harder than just getting a sensor for noises larger than some Db.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I guess I just saw a key larger than an IPv6 address and assumed it was something I couldn't share openly. It does seem weird that it's that big then. 50+ characters that can be A-Z0-9 feels like

Isn't the classic example of this something like NYC's Hells Kitchen or East Village or Meatpacking District that was, at some point, the cheap neighborhood that artists and musicians could live in on their irregular low salaries,

This does strike me as an innate tension to all of this. I grew up in a really diverse neighborhood, and at this point, as a decently successful person, if I moved back into that neighborhood, folks at the orgs I used to volunteer with woul

My worry would be that you'd have to do some diagnostics on the audio to determine the actual sound. The loudest noise my washer makes is the spin/rinse cycle, which is right before the sound it makes when it's done. You can&

This is mostly where I am. Syncthing is a great replacement for something like Dropbox for me to share things between my own computers and not have to care about file size or the like. It's not really a reasonable P2P file sharing opti

Let's say I want to share a file with a friend internationally. First off, while there are some reasonable UXes for Syncthing, a lot of them are pretty basic, or rely on running a daemon and then connecting a web browser to Localhost t

It's definitely pretty nice, but the ergonomics of it for someone that's not that good with computers can be a little hard. I've gotten synced folders into bad states before that took a long time to fix. It's also kinda

I mean, you can do that. There's literally nothing stopping you except the opinion of your team of you. I generally give notice, not because I give a single fuck about the company, but because I like my coworkers and want to make sure

Everyone says this as if it's not also considered rude/bad behavior for a company to lay off people with no notice. It's rude either way. Both employer and employee can opt to do it without the usual graceful phase out, but t

Honestly, if you want soda or wine or beer or such, don't buy "good tea", buy crazy blended teas with maple syrup or fruit in them. Something that's closer to what you're replacing. I feel like part of the difficult

From what I hear from folks, it's actually a pretty nice service. I think it's mostly a way to rent really fancy/niche cars? I know friends who will get a Porsche or a Ferrari or something for a day when they're in a cit

I guess that's the way in at nVidia then, because I applied to 10+ positions that I was decidedly well-qualified for, and haven't heard anything at all in over 4 months now. To anyone considering applying there, I guess try whatev

On the other end, that's also extremely true at large companies. My last job, all hiring was functionally locked in at the fiscal year rollover. There was no emergent need so large that the budget could allow you to hire anyone new unt

See, I feel like that's almost the exact opposite unless you assume Apple and its internal legal department is made up of the biggest idiots on the planet. If they were intending on just infringing this valid patent and trying to get a

It's not trickery, it's a question of what the law is. If you grab a random person off the street, even simple machines like gears and pulleys may not be obvious. On the other end, you risk running into the "it's an auct

It's odd, since presumably if everyone stopped paying for Prime for the fast shipping, Amazon probably would go back to shipping things slower since it's almost definitely pretty expensive to do so, but since so many people pay fo

Isn't the question what the "field" is? Does it have to be obvious to a random college grad in Electrical Engineering? Biomed Engineering? Someone who's worked in Medical devices before? Someone who's worked on any

Pretty sure that hasn't stopped Hollywood accounting for the last century, and I see no reason why EA can't pull off the same things that Warner Brothers has been doing.
