I’ve been remote for 12 years. I am an extrovert. I have always missed the office a bit, but never enough to seriously consider going back to in person. I would absolutely go back for the right opportunity. Maybe I’ve missed some great oppo

Can confirm. I live in Atlanta and am about to write letters like the one from the article to the owners of a couple dozen properties in my neighborhood that I’ve identified as suitable for my family. Just as discussed, I’m not planning to

I came here to say exactly this. I have a Twitter account, but I stay logged out and let their door slamming act dissuade me from scrolling. I can read the one linked Tweet from some article or post and then return to my life. It’s blissful

This happened in Atlanta (technically Brookhaven). The police were looking for the source of gunfire reported at the 3600 block of Buford Highway [0] and the 911 call related to the shooting came from the 3100 block of Clairmont Rd. There a

I was going to reply that this sort of thing isn't all that uncommon here in Atlanta. Then I clicked the link and saw this this happened in Brookhaven, which is formerly a neighborhood of Atlanta proper. <sigh>

The same guidelines that you linked also say: > Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse,

People will do what is economical for them personally. Effectively no one would pull carbon from the ground if they could get cheaper energy from somewhere else. The answer is to develop the technology to produce that energy and give it aw

I’ve worked remote for 12 years. There are drawbacks, but the quality of life improvement is huge. I appreciate your comment and the GP for tactfully expressing feelings similar to my own. Pollution from automobiles, the health impacts of l

1000x this. For several years I've been eyeing the 49" ultrawides as a replacement for my current 34" ultrawide. It would definitely be a big upgrade, but I keep thinking that something high DPI must be around the corner in t

Or they have kids and the Apple TV remote is quickly lost or broken as it is both small and fragile! I have multiple of both Apple TV and Chromecast and they both have their benefits. The babysitter can control the Apple TV with their phone

I love it. The tech exists. My neighbor works for a company that does encoding of data on packaging. Goal is that every cereal box on the grocery aisle can be individually tracked.

'implanted into spouse' What about steganography in tattoos? That would be pretty interesting. Perhaps combining that data with a short code or seed that you memorize.

It's not just weight, but also distribution. I've been on small regional aircraft (think 16 to 32 seats) where the flight crew has asked passengers to change seats in order to get a better balance of weight across the aircraft.

Yes, this. And then they put their “paperwork” fee of $600 on it and I have to argue with them about that. And then they want to push their financing on me instead of accepting my pre-arranged financing. I refuse to ever buy another vehicle

Klein bottle shaped pastas can be constructed and blur the distinction between extruded noodles and filled pastas. Getting hungry thinking about it.

Latitude matters! I grew up outside of Atlanta, which is 33N and similar to Tel Aviv at 32N. My dad's Irish skin probably faired much worse here than it would have at 53N (Ireland, Berlin). I don't burn too easily in the sun here

My dad went bald very early and I was always afraid of it. I've had the typical progression of male pattern baldness going for the last 20 years. I'd look really weird in my 40's if I had the same hairline as my 20 year old s

My wife is a lawyer and she buys a lot of stamps. Recently she stumbled onto some strange stamp firesale on Ebay and bought forever stamps at below face value. I could only guess that this was an unwinding of the trade you propose.

The finite resource in the Internet model is attention. We could redefine our regulations with that in mind. Perhaps that would helpful for addressing the filter bubble phenomenon.

I am not sure if you are joking or not, but I had exactly this conversation yesterday morning with a friend who was heading into an after incident review meeting. Wouldn't it be nice.

Yes! Just today I was wishing that I could have syntax highlighting on commented code that I was refactoring. Just dim it a bit instead of turning it all grey.

I stumbled on this site last week and anecdotally I can confirm that disabling Keystone helps. I was driven to find answers after no longer being able to hear people on Zoom calls because of the fan noise from my 16" MBP. I got sick

What’s the environmental impact of Zoom running away with my CPU? What about Chrome? I’ve finally accepted that I have to switch to Firefox because of Chrome’s performance problems. Apple and Intel and thermals are a know problem, but Chrom

I wonder if this is just for after hours trading. You would think the user could at least place an order for execution when the market opens. GME was up over $100 pre-market when I got up this morning, so someone somewhere is buying.

Same here. The whole thread is giving me a great chuckle. My son often asks, "why did Granddaddy do all this?" And I reply, "because for Granddaddy, anything worth doing is worth overdoing." Awesome to see that phrase re
