Are we limiting this to early childhood before you know better? I can't see someone going through their life thinking they shouldn't be able to see properly, or have shit floating around in their eyes(I have had both since birth).

Spent many years of my youth chasing loud hardcore shows. I remember distinctly the show that left me with ringing for two weeks, that mercifully subsided. From then on I wear plugs, even when doing things like mowing the lawn. Protect your

Wait, you thought a persistent ringing noise in ears is a normal human trait?

I wish it was made more apparent. They made a big deal about "Bash for Windows", and that was it. I really had no idea it was literally an entire Linux distribution sitting inside Windows, with cross platform mounts and command li

Seasons are everything, I couldn't do the 70 degrees and sunny west coast climate every day of my life.

You're NEVER going to convince me that you're gaining any benefits over being five minutes from my house. Home to eat lunch, and take a nap in silence is worth more than any perk on this planet. I pity you all with hellish travel.

WSL works really well actually, like magically well. I do all my web dev work on Windows instead of my aging Mac now.

This is an unfortunate side effect of being a popular comedian, people will literally laugh at any word you say. The podcast escapes me, and I've read numerous articles, where big comedians often consider just quitting because they can

I cut the cord to Reddit a bit over a year ago. I promise, the feeling of missing something subsides quickly.

You know what would have made developers happy? Regular refreshes on the cheese grater tower. THAT IS ALL ANYONE HAS EVER WANTED. Nope, we get a trashcan that is over priced, can't be upgraded, and also still gets zero updates.

I went back and forth between a full Linux desktop/laptop, and in the end I moved my environment over to the existing Windows 10 gaming PC with WSL(Windows Subsystem for Linux). Its been awesome. Now I get two full usable environments

My point was more he had his time, and it's gone. He hasn't lived on past that. Carlin and the likes were relevant until their death.

I think that was more a sign of the times. Like Andrew Dice Clay's filthy routine. That type of humor was needed during the 80s to distract people from the stress everyone was under. It wouldn't work today. A lot of Eddie's

Weird Al is essentially a comedian, and they only really get good after many years of life experience.

Attempting to read nix man pages, always felt like I was alone in learning best from examples. Documentation in any form without examples is always difficult for me to sort through.

By subsidizing cheap cab fares? There is a reason Uber gained popularity, because the fees are cheap comparatively.

When I'm taking photos of food and cocktails for my side gig, I generally have a shot setup in my head prior to food arriving at the table. I'll choose places with natural light, near large windows to diffuse, or some interesting

Sure they can, but twenty years experiences shows me they won't. You'd think it would be different between generations, but it's not. The new generation growing up now solely with smartphones is even less literate with comput

You really are out of touch with the end users of most software then. You're not living in the corporate world dealing with them, and troubleshooting their issues. Most people come into work, click on the same exact shortcut on their d

By virtue of the fact that your post is so long just to explain how "easy" it is to configure, sums up the Linux community perfectly.

I think you'll find most people are sick of dating, and are completely open to something platonic. Maybe I'm just really, really, ridiculously good looking though.

No need to be curious, there has been a ton of articles recently about this. By constantly being barraged by all of the best snippets of everyone's life, kids especially are more depressed, and socially inept.

I use dating apps regularly when traveling for exactly that. You'd be surprised how willing people are to meetup without the pressure of dating/sex being involved. Fly into a city for work, meetup for fun, and make a new friend fo
