A motorboat is a silly example that most people don't want anyway. Minimalism is, like consumerism, still obsessed with things . Hop onto r/minimalism and you'll quickly find many people who stress over not having fewer mate

Well that's upsetting. My local paper has been owned by Advance Publications since the 40s, but it doesn't seem to suffer the same quality issues. It's even won several major awards, both for individual journalism and for the

Using this thread to yet again pound the drum of local news. I don't work in media; I've just found my local newspaper subscription to be extremely valuable. Your local news organizations will be biased in some ways, yes, but it&#

As a fellow introvert, this sounds insurmountably painful. How did you have something to talk about every night? How did you even find that many people to fit into a rotation like that without feeling like you were annoying them? I have so

How do you find the time/energy to get the example sentence on the back of each card? Do you have a process/method to make it easier? When I encounter new words in real life, it tends to be all at once (i.e. watching a show while

Truly, tastes vary. I also think the "chaotic" buildings are much more beautiful than their Vegas counterparts. This is maybe due to my hobby of plein air/urban sketching; if I were to pick a subject to draw on-site, I would

That jealousy goes both ways. I often wish I was one of those people who can share stories about their adventures into many interests, or who can relate to a wide range of people because of their variety of experiences. Going deep can be ve

Opposite to the author, I've fixated on just a few hobbies which have captured my interest for many years (drawing and Japanese-English translation being the big two). In regards to my hobbies, this assessment is extremely accurate! Ha

Impractical as it may be, the imaginary world where people are paid a living wage to stand on the sidewalk reciting poetry sounds lovely. Imagine being able to sit on a public bench with your neighbors any given day and listen to someone&#x

I've already been using AI art to help brainstorm/conceptualize my own artworks. It's a great tool to use alongside others, but you're right that most of it is extremely derivative. It's easy to end up with somethin

I'd love for this to be the case, but often the most(/only) important part of a tech doc is the "why," i.e. the background knowledge about the business itself, or the conceptual framework that underlies the code. Even mo

Once upon a time I could drink a full pot of coffee every morning and feel fine. Now a single caffeinated (sugar-free) soda makes me feel terrible: racing heart, anxiety, shakiness. I've tried exposing myself to more caffeine to get us

I rely heavily on an Apple Shortcut that I made which saves an offline copy of a webpage (just the text and images) and stashes it in Notes. Great for refreshing myself on a topic I read about months ago but hasn't become relevant unti

It depends on the dish. With burgers, for example, I much prefer an Impossible Burger patty to any meat-based burger for the flavor alone. I also love vegetable-based dishes, but I seek out Impossible meat in addition to those. I also enjoy

I interpreted this as the author saying that a senior dev will have "found an issue with something [they] love, or a useful aspect in something [they] hate..." "in a myriad of ways." I.e. I think the author agrees with y
