It's one of my favorite sites. I love the focus on high quality, easy to interpret information without click bait, intrusive ads, etc. I wish there were more sites like it.

I've noticed a similar thing with popular reporting of "medical mysteries". Authors tend to wait until the end of the article for the big reveal of the diagnosis. As opposed to the actual medical case reports they're usu

My 2012 Volkswagen is getting up in years, but I love it. Manual transmission, no screens, everything is easily adjusted by the driver via tactile controls. I'm loathe to get a new car because it's nearly impossible to find a rece

I don't know if it's still on the books, but it's definitely not enforced as there are successful sex toy shops in Alabama. They even advertise on the radio.

I've thought about this phenomenon a good bit as I get older. My hypothesis is that the older you get periods of time take up smaller and smaller fractions of your life span, and therefore seem to pass more quickly. When you are 10 yea

I've been using Linux as my primary OS for about a year now and have had a great experience [Manjaro KDE on a ThinkPad T14s AMD]. It's really so much more pleasant to use than windows these days. On rare occasion I need to be abl

In the linked article it seems his conclusion was the issue was the small buffer size ls uses. But it's not the buffer itself so much as the things done to the data in the buffer that slow things down?

I'm sure I am just showing my ignorance, but in the man page it says: "-1 list one file per line." and "-f do not sort, enable -aU, disable -ls --color" It's not obvious to me that this would bypass the buff

That was my first thought when reading this. On numerous times I've been watching a stage show and can see everything great. Then the lights turn blue and it's just a blue blur.

I have the successor to this model, the SK-5. I got it as a kid in the 80s and it still works great. My 6 year old has a great time sampling her voice and other sounds on it. In the past I considered trying a circuit bending project with it

Most of the nonalcoholic beers I've tried are pretty terrible, Athletic have somehow made a nonalcoholic beer that actually tastes like a beer. I've got a case of Run Wild in the fridge and it satisfies my beer craving without the

It really is a gold mine. Things I've successfully tackled with the help of YouTube:small engine repair, appliance repair, knife making, woodworking, electronics, sailing, auto repair. And the list goes on. Yes there is a lot of garbag

I've been using KDE connect recently and it's great for moving files between my phone and laptop. Another fun feature is sharing a url from the phone to the laptop and it opens the browser to the page. I don't know of any sim

I was really excited about this truck until I saw they went the Tesla route with the giant touchscreen in the middle of the console. Do they think that this what EV buyers want because Tesla has it? I want a vehicle with simple tactile con

Depends what kind of doctor. A neurosurgeon is probably in their target bracket. An internist or family physician probably not.
