I remember hearing once that baking is a science and cooking an art. If you mess a step up while baking, your product is generally destroyed. Do the same while cooking, and you're often left with something that just tastes a little dif

Yes, I'd seen this claim once before. The original quote was "There are things known, and things unknown, and in between are the Doors", yet a quick search led to this explanation: "QI hypothesizes that this quotation wa

This reminds me of https://stilleatingoranges.tumblr.com/post/25153960313/the-s... . I wonder if there's a way of presenting new Things as a merging rather than conflict resolution approach and, if so, which w

Thank you so much for this tl;dr! I wish all eye-catching articles were similarly summed up in one caption and/or image.

Another option is putting a contact page in your bio if you have a personal site. That's helped me reach folks in the past, and should keep most of the nastiness out.

This program is wonderful, I regularly use it for highlighting and annotating PDFs. Just imagine this with a SoundCloud-like "highlighter/annotator" for AV files thrown in the mix.

I wish we could combine all this stuff together regardless of media. I'd use it in a heartbeat to curate class notes and recorded lectures! Particularly with a community this would be awesome, harnessing everyone's highlighting to
