I was curious who would pay to keep a joke domain name and website up for 20+ years, and it turns out it’s Chelsea Peretti (Brooklyn 99) and her brother Jonah Peretti (Buzzfeed and HuffPo). https://www.avclub.com/read-this-i

Does anyone have any recommendations on stuff I can read on the topic? Perhaps some Buddhist philosophy would help bring ease for letting go of past material existence? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_marks_of_exi

Crazy idea, but how about the gov just gives kids from not-ideal backgrounds access to grants and scholarships, rather than credit.

A few possible reasons of the top of my head: * Not every renter has a US license or ID * Want to add another driver * The gate security clerk isn’t always an employee of the rental company (one exit, multiple companies) * Travelers are tir

I’ve heard it stated as “there’s no unselfish good deed”, a quote attributed to the famed ethicist [checks notes]… Joey Tribbiani. https://youtu.be/jgr-CpLNCYo

Pertinent that DMOZ launches just a few months before Google. It was basically an open version of Yahoo directories, right at the time when Google swooped in and ate Yahoo’s lunch. Ontologies are hard. Search won.

I'm surprised there's no copyright notice on these instruction booklets. Has LEGO ever stated that their booklets are freely reproducible or is this a gray area? Note: I'm talking about the layout and graphics of the booklets

Those gun buffs or medieval fans with lots of money to spend are in the US. This auction was in the UK. Smaller market, fewer big spenders, and a much larger supply of antiques.

It's not that weird - I'm sure most folks spend their school-years referring to other kids as "the same year (grade) as me" or "the year (grade) above/below me". Even to this day, I intuitively group frien

I think you’re vastly underestimating how petty and controlling lower management can be to workers who are much closer to minimum wage. Go search https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/ for “bathroom” and you’ll find p

A perennial gripe about tipping is that it’s usually based on value of goods, rather than value of service. Pouring a $7 glass of wine takes exactly the same effort as a $14 glass of wine, but one earns the wait staff double the tip.

The article mentions the competition between Texas districts for patent cases. Im curious what’s in it for Judge Alan Albright? Does he personally benefit from hearing so many cases or are local lobbyists just engaged in an effort bring mor

Curiously, Google Maps satellite view does show underwater prominences at 0E 0N that are distinctly darker and more detailed than those around it. Perhaps at one point in history there really was an island there. https://maps.app

You phone can only figure out if it’s connected to a known device (your car, your speaker, etc) by asking the data pins. A charge-only mode would “break” usability of the USB port for most users.

AWS brings in something like 16% of total revenue, but accounts for 74% of profits. No way would it be split off.

As a point of reference, Ross tips $20 on $200 in a nice restaurant, after Rachel’s dad tips “like 4%” in a season 3 episode of Friends: https://youtu.be/gOxG6HSicwk So we can say that 15% was more than generous in 1996 acc

8.5”x11” is a standard size for the US and Canada, but not for the rest of the world. Which leads to the eternal problems for any NGOs or contractors working for the US government overseas who have to source Letter size for US gov partners

An American man of 72 in average health has a mean life expectancy of 85, but that stretches to 97 for 72 year olds in the 95th percentile. So this Congressman might be staring down 25 years or a quarter of his life at the age of 72. That’s
