Same. I had a Garmin for about 6 months and I eventually just stopped wearing it and sold it. Knowing how many steps I took today, checking it several times a day to see if I was meeting my goal, knowing how many vertical feet I skied.. non

Reading some the comments on this thread reveals one of the main reasons why a campaign like this is necessary if you're Underwood. Huy Fong has achieved "category king" status in this space; most people don't know what

The article addresses this, but doesn't really clear it up. First it says: > But justice minister Baroness Levitt warned that cracking down on pornography depicting sex between step-relatives was complicated, because not all >

I also learned it back in 2004 and it was one of the single most useful skills I have ever acquired. My shoes never come untied anymore. Coaching baseball, when a kid's shoe comes untied, I re-tie it for them with the Ian knot. Life

I will say that over time I've adjusted to Spectacle. Having it pinned to the taskbar is a good approximation of having Flameshot in the tray. Also a nice thing about Spectacle is that the window persists after you take a screenshot so

I'm guessing you don't have multiple monitors :)

Man I hope this delivers. I haven't been able to use Flameshot for over a year since switching to Wayland because weird shit happens with my multi-monitor setup.

When I come into a new project and I find all this... "stuff" in use, often what I later find is actually happening with a lot of it is: - nobody remembers why they're using it - a lot of it is pinned to old versions or the o

And yet many the same people who lament the tooling bloat of today will, in a heartbeat, make lame jokes about PHP. Most of them aren't even old enough to have ever done anything serious with it, or seen it in action beyond Wordpress o

This is actually really useful! The prompts generating the AI-generated content probably need some work. As an example, I clicked on the category 'Fintech' and randomly chose the entry 'Clarity Money'. Under its 'Ma

Respectfully, you're making things up and adding the words "I think the impression most people have". That's motivated reasoning. If you're actually interested in the geopolitics of this I suggest you just spend som

You are more right than you realize. Around the time the US and Israel bombed the Iranian nuclear sites, I personally witnessed our local pro-Hamas protesters add 'stop bombing Iran' signs to their repertoire.

More interesting, to me, is why the corporations that produce house-brand colas don't do this. While not exactly Pepsico, these producers have plenty of financial resources, plus the motivation to get their product as close to Coca-Col

I don't doubt the trends cited in this article; it seems well-researched. However I will say that anecdotally, as the parent of two boys in the US, Nike's brand is still very strong. I have a 3rd grader who refused to let us buy h

I'm in your camp but I go for the cheap VPS. Lightsail and DigitalOcean are amazing -- for $10/mo or less you get a cheap little box that's essentially everything you describe, but with all the peace of mind that comes from n

Software-y people also have a way of being deliberately and performatively obtuse about their technology choices. This person's proclamation about not using any USB-A peripherals hits the same as when they feign surprise that any non-l

I feel you brother/sister. I actually pay for Claude Code Max and also for the $20/mo Cursor plan. I use Claude Code via the VSCode extension running within the Cursor IDE. 95% of my usage is Claude Code via that extension (or

Personally I bit the bullet and went with the Max plan for Claude Code. After tax it costs me ($108) less than I earn from one billable hour. I have been punishing it for the last two months, it defaults to Opus 4.5 and while I occasionall
