That sounds fine to me. But legal gambling preys on vulnerable people, too. Gambling is highly addictive.

Your argument is overly simplistic. Just because people can get addicted to anything doesn’t mean we should do nothing. Relying on personal responsibility alone is a cop-out, especially with something as addictive as sports betting. Making

Disclaimers exist for legal reasons, not for moral ones or a personal opinion. I think we all agree that hacking scammers is a net positive for society.

When I was a teen I had a tomatoe at a friend's house on the island of Krk. I was having breakfast with his family and his mother served giant, ripe tomatoes from their garden. Those were the best tomatoes I have ever had, by a giant m

Not so many cooperatives to apply for, are there? Otherwise I would definitely prefer worker owned.

I understand your perspective, but I believe it's important to recognize the complex role inequality plays in modern society. While it's true that overall living conditions have improved, with more access to amenities like plumbin

Sure. I don't think it's irrational, either. But from time to time I really wish I could just take a nap and not have to pay attention on long trips.

The illusion of understanding feels just as good as real understanding in the short term (it releases a lot of tension), and is much easier to achieve. That's what makes it so seductive and dangerous.

They do take up a lot of space between the right hand and the mouse. I sometimes try to go back to full size keyboard but I just can't take it for more than a few hours. It's just too uncomfortable. I'd love to have a keybo

Can you configure the knob to hold down the left mouse button when you turn it and move either up/right or down/left diagonally? If yes, it would be great for adjusting parameters in Audio Workstations. If not, well ... I guess I&

Don't know about dishwashers. But I recently tried to repair a washing machine from LG and in the process learned that Miele machines are considered to be very reliable and fixable.

I'm sure as hell locked in. Linux Desktop doesn't even remotely come close to offer the things I ask out of a PC (high quality music production and image editing). On the other hand, both Windows and macOS do. And let's not e

I think software (or a service) won't be the solution to your problem. I know some people are trying to solve this with gamification or accountability apps, but in my experience those only work short-term because they don't addres

Nah. I don't think so. When it comes to modal workflows, there's a tradeoff to be made between intuitiveness and efficiency that comes with lots of practice. I don't use modal text editors anymore. But I get how modes can be

They could be reproduced, but it would be expensive and impractical for most environments. Actually I think recording the sounds with a good dynamic range is probably the harder problem, but I'm pretty sure with some post production th

Yeah, but the sound energy usually dissipates by the point it arrives at your ear. Unless you shoot a gun right next to your head, which is probably not what you want to replicate.

Heat is not the problem. I don't think you understand what browning onions well means. Which is understandable, because getting them "brown" in a few minutes is pretty easy, and that's the way it's explained in most

You don't make rational decisions when you're clinically depressed. It's a form of cognitive malfunction.

When you're depressed you're in pain. Try to think of the most shameful, heartbreaking moment in your life, and then imagine reliving those feelings every day of your life. It gets tiring.

Sounds like any run of the mill complaint that everything used to be better. I romanticize my childhood as much as the next guy. But I recommend looking at all the ways our childhoods were worse than those of our children. Makes for a much
