My purely anecdotal experience—my [then] wife began seeing a therapist to help with her seasonal depression. She didn’t work, and spent a lot of time on social media. Her therapist encouraged her to ‘choose you, put yourself first, etc’, th

It’s amusing that from one side of your mouth you’re complaining about the frequency which John appears on hackernews, but from the other side of your mouth you’re relegating his body of work to “some cool games 20-30 years ago”. Yes, as a

I’m a lifetime subscriber that recently moved which brought down my media server. It will probably be another 3 months until it’s back up…if Plex screwed their lifetime subscribers by trying to get more money out of us…I’d cancel my service

I think you nailed it on the head. Whenever something brakes, we’re faced with basically 3 choices: fix it, pay someone to fix it, or abandon it. One of the most critical moments before a choice is made, is the problem solver mentally overc

I imagine this would be a problem uniquely experienced by super heavy cars with low ground clearance, (comparatively, of course), basically Teslas. Normally, heavy I.C.E. vehicles would have greater ground clearance (like trucks/SUVs)

Absolutely correct. If I can piggyback to elaborate: Piracy is *not* theft, it’s ‘copyright infringement’—they had to define a legal term because the courts determined that copying content does not deprive the IP owner of whatever-it-was-th

You’re right, you do sound like a hypocrite.. especially if you use any freely shared, open source software (in addition to the pirated software you proudly proclaimed to use).

I have noticed this as well. Basically the same behavior as when a terrible (saved) Wi-Fi network is in range and my phone will not concede attempting to connect en lieu of a more performant cellular connection.

Purely out of my righteous indignation, I hereby BOYCOTT the Moderna vaccine—Nay not just their vaccine but ALL vaccines! This, because of their outrageous corporate price gouging practices. Yep that’s the reason.

If an adult persuaded a child to stick their finger in a mousetrap, the resulting injury wouldn’t be entirely owed to said mousetrap. Like it or not, Putin did exactly what he said he would do should Ukraine (or any other border adjacent co

Its no conspiracy that the FBI acted to try and delegitimize the Hunter Biden laptop story by warning tech companies (Twitter, Facebook, etc) about a ‘Russian disinformation campaign’. This, of course, was entirely false and no one knew th

Thanks for sharing that story, I love hearing about the old guard of Utah’s tech sector (which isn’t to say ‘old’ at all, just the rate that things change.) I myself did some data center shopping in the beehive state many years ago. One non
