I have read way too many of these kinds of stories. Thru-hikers are akin to long distance runners.(For some of them) Their goal is to brag about how many miles they walked and how grueling it was, and that's exactly what this author d

I've been WFH since the mid 80s. For me, this had been a goal since I first heard of the concept of WFH back in the mid 70's. I've never really though of it as anything but a positive. I don't have to drive to work. I ca

We have to consider the old adage about screaming "Fire" in a crowded theater. Unfettered free speech would dictate we can all do that anytime we want because free speech has no limits. Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969, limited the sco

I think one of the things that lead to feeling life is meaningless is watching too much "News". News media tends to focus on negatives and they tend to blow those out of proportion in regards to how events affect one personally. I

Yeah, this article was lacking those and other details. Most every claim was made in a generic way that seemed to imply most any crop could be grown this way when in truth they are pretty much growing salad greens only.

Yeah, I can bounce from one thing to another there just soaking up info for hours. After all these years of doing that I finally visited the Wikipedia Home page a few weeks ago. I was quite surprised with all the stuff they have there that

That "bad infrastructure" bit was in their response to my first comment, which I did not address at all on in my second comment. Your observations on "to artificially give people a reason to use cars" is more of the same

I don't think it's fair to equate the "fun of driving" with reckless driving. The difference between driving a little sports car with the top down and a 4door sedan or big SUV on a curvey mountain road is not all about h

This article was about advertising and selling the "fun of driving" in a era that was much different than today. Your complaints have nothing to do with what the author offered: "Many people who don't really enjoy cars a

Had you really considered what I wrote you wouldn't have missed this important bit: "when I turn off the Low Blue Light mode I can instantly feel the strain on my eyes. The picture is gorgeous but it's too bright and intense

I bought a monitor with a "Low Blue Light" button (it's a "BENQ" brand). I didn't buy it because of that feature and had never even heard of it before. My first reaction was thinking it was kind of ugly so ini

I was thinking the same thing. I have new Pi and it's pretty close performance wise to my old Mac Mini which is still a fine desktop PC.

Well, I've bought new Apple computers for over 20 years now and for the first 10 I had to replace them after a couple years because I couldn't run newer software on them but they were pretty much junk by the end of those few years

Well, we're talking about hardware here, or at least I was. I love my late `09 Mac Mini. Best Mac I've owned yet, but for the same amount we'll pay for a new one we could probably build our own Linux box with much better spec

When I was a kid I worked with my father building custom cars. We customized a car for the guy who owned a famous brand of liquor. He had a vanity license plate on one of his cars that said something like "3 Stars" on it and I ask

I recently watched a video of the assembly of that engine. It's pretty impressive and the car it was put is a beast. I couldn't help but think it's pretty silly to be driving one of those but the engineering of that power tra

I worked the census this year. There was a motivation for this. Supervisors were getting bonuses for closing out cases. To be clear, I was never asked to enter any bogus data and I've not heard of anyone else who was. What I did get ne
