This isn't entirely relevant, but I just want to say I am sick of our society's obsessive fascination with TV. It's solitary, sedentary, and passive. And then we bitch and complain when the people cracking this whip make it m

You can get all the meaning you need from The Black Swan by just reading the first few chapters. Taleb has a nasty habit of saying the same thing over and over again and stretching it out to an entire book.

It puts less tension on my hands, I can feel that. 12+ hours a day in front of a keyboard, for weeks at a time sometimes for me. I don't have to bunch my elbows into my stomach to use the standard home row posture. I think those are al

keyboard.io keyboards look really uncomfortable for long-term use, what with that hard wood looking enclosure. Ergodox and kinesis both do that weird split keyboard thing. All put other buttons below the thumb which I am not sure about. Can

I would really like it if these fancypants keyboards came in a layout other than the crunch-all-your-fingers-together-in-the-middle-for-extra-RSI design that the keyboard nerds seem to adore

With special nonstandard proprietary wireless protocols is the answer you're looking for. The same shit wireless stage mics use. Or control over cellular data. I can guarantee you they aren't pairing them to a 802.11 router. Lol o

You might enjoy Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic. It's really rough right now, and frustratingly manual in places, but it does a good job of simulating resources at least. If you play in Realism Mode then vehicles and resources

Your argument assumes good faith on behalf of the buyer, and that said long-term investment is actually coming. But I can show you PGE and SDGE as examples of privatization WITHOUT any of that good-faith investment, and then when the situat

I don't know about that last bit, go to Walmart and they have most everything new and current on Blu-Ray. Plus the less-compressed video beats the pants off of streaming.
