Amazing. Watching car crash tests on youtube is eye opening, and it's interesting to see what makes a good car good. It has certainly made me an even more careful driver. Especially the "car runs into the back/side end of a t

Not to speak of the horrible dark patterns - count down timers, "only 3 rooms left!!!!", alarming colors, confusing interface. There was a time, oh what a time, when I could use hotels.com and booking.com to get really good prices

Also a potentially sparking invitation to the fire department for a visit! Working with lithium batteries is not to be performed without lots and lots of caution. The amount of energy in such cells that can be delivered, in a very surprisin

How great this was is that this is still very, very funny despite me not knowing jack crap about baseball (as a non-american). The last time TNG was up on HN someone recommended Angie Tribeca and I have to say, after a handful of episodes,

My first thought was that the whiteboards themselves failed, that this was some kind of The Onion article, but it isn't. It's simply that the backup plan to the failing digital boards, are plain whiteboards.

Good! I've more and more come to the opinion that the only real way to push against bad behavior on a large scale, is through laws and regulation. For example, it's disappointing to see the latest line of ICE cars (well, Volvo 201

Curious too. Have been giving away "fart pillows" (don't know the name, like a flat balloon that you're supposed to hide under a chair seat) on my daughters birthday parties. It's been a blast so far :) According to

The cynic in me hope that Google charges through the roof for this - if barrier to operate a Duplex robocall center is very low, I suspect we'll get bombarded by sales calls from Duplex centers. Not that anyone really answers the phone
