That's not silly at all. Like the other guy who posted, connecting back to "life" is pretty important. My family committed to this at a very extreme level in 2020 and we fulfilled it in April 2021. Our lives have been changed

Seeing everything as a new startup or money maker is so unhealthy. There is a whole world to live in and explore and chasing money will never help you find it.

This seems neat but I don't understand the use of 4D. It's not four dimensional. It's 3D with the ability to have an arbitrary perspective.

This makes me happy to live somewhere with a total of two deputies for the entire county. Not enough personnel to even manage the corruption.

You have a citation for your interpretation of "rent-a-cop"? I am intrigued but cannot find any use of the phrase other than something to the effect of "wannabe cop". Even the 1987 movie by that name is a former cop who

my take is that "blogging for the hell of it" is larger than ever but harder than ever to find.

Did I miss where the article explains how ammonia can be used in a combustion engine? I read the whole article but it didn't seem to get into the techincals.

Sure at a value level, but it's still setting a precedence and making the way. I could see small time Mastadon operators getting more traction for charging a nominal fee for running an account. A lot of great ideas have come from compa

I have my home/property loan through a coop (a FCS institution) and so I get dividends every year on my shares. It amounts to about 1.5x my monthly payment. Because of this I have F-income to declare and so most free offerings are off

I know people are down on the-social-networking-platform-formerly-known-as-twitter, and I have no skin in the game, I gave up on social networking about a decade ago, but I think this is the model to beat. Forever the FOSS world has said, &

This is how I feel. I will leave emacs from time to time to try this, that, or the other. But I come back and emacs is there awaiting. I recently learned to love the unadorned emacs (no eVIl mode), and I can't believe I spun my gears i

To clarify, we ought to flag every comment that points out how the article buries the lede and spends 1000+ words on nothing?

There is a world of difference between remembering the past and refusing to see people outside of a historic and antiquated context. OP is doing to these rural Mississippians what OP is accusing them of doing, and the article even mentions

Not to mention "hacks" would go both ways.

Ya it's weird, but it's largely a rehash of the same things that come up every time an amber alert or emergency tone is played.

Same man. I don't know of a single pump within 40 miles of me that even has a card reader. It's all pump-then-pay.

Not perhaps always, but I've seen the term "LARPing" used in a more tongue-in-cheek and disparaging way. Might be part of it some times. "Did you hear what Jim has planned?" -"Oh he's just LARPing"

Step back. Text /input/ on mobile isn't okay. It's a copy (for the most part) of desktop editors as well. There have been a few changes, such as dragging your finger around. A few keyboards have tried (and largely failed
