Man, I love when sci-fi becomes reality. It's the cool things that get me excited for some parts of the future, and this is exactly that.

The word "Majesty" holds meaning that few people today contemplate. Her life was lived in complete service to her people, and was inextricably linked to the nation she ruled. That's a relic of a bygone era, and I think we los

Myers-Briggs can be useful. It's not some magic ball, but I'm an ENTP, which means I need to keep it fresh; I can't just chug away at one task for hours and maintain good output, I need to switch over to something else before

Because the tax code is too complicated.

Looks good! Two questions: Will you make an Ortholinear version, and Is it hotswappable? Looking forward to getting one.

Exactly. I'm a very casual cuber, but I've broken a few former world records at home. No current ones, though.

As long as you can get them into muscle memory, they're literally hard to forget. I stopped cubing for 4 years, every algorithm was exactly where I left it mentally.

Speedcubing is extremely communal. Once the 6-second barrier was broken, 3 other people did it the same day. It's a mind game, and I'll bet we'll see another person who does this within a year.

It's really not. It's just hard.

This is pure insanity. The algorithms do pass out of active memory and into long-term muscle memory, but 144 a day is ludicrous.

> You can make the same arguments in the past about kids watching TV and then kids using a PC. Yes. This is true, and they're still valid complaints. I grew up (currently in my 20s) without a TV or PC with a GUI. > In 10 years, p

This resonates deeply. It has to feel like a secret to me.

Accurate, and it sounds like you had a similar childhood experience to me: explorative, social, and educational. Nice to see another one of us!

I love designers! Especially when they listen to devs, or even better, can write CSS themselves. Devs should be in design review meetings, designers should be in the conversations about functionality. If you want a smoother workflow, make t

Yes, my family is not in the mind of the people asking for pickup trucks to be banned, but generally people with that mindset don't ask for narrow, tailored legislation. Source: we got burned by this plenty often.

Nope, homeschooled 100%. I did go to community college when I was 13, I guess. Lots of books (4000 in our home library), Khan Academy, and no personal electronics for the kids. >But how on earth were you supervised. I guess one parent m

Honestly, this is a weird thing to see. My parents just... did it, while so many people wait for the perfect time, have kids into their 40s, and then have to deal with teenagers in their 60s. Perhaps not for everyone, but there are perks.

This is true, but someone else telling you how to live your life with obviously zero practical experience in how you live your life will generally seem unreasonable to you. My bias is showing, but my bias is, I think, reasonable.

It's a private vehicle, not much larger than a pickup. The Ford Transit is excellent, by the way.

So far the four of us who have turned 18 are doing great for ourselves, so it turned out pretty well. No neglect, great food, and an excellent education. Are you saying some of us should have been put in the notoriously abusive foster care

Does the road being public mean that my family should have been forced to drive two cars, thus polluting more, all because of some people who can't stay out of other's business? I understand the argument here, but I think it'

I'm the oldest of 10 kids. My family needed a 15-passenger van to travel. Why can't the government stay out of my business?

by rpmisms 4y ago
Yep. Sometimes that feels too abrupt, though. Even if you're trying to be pointed.

Dev with a flair for writing over here. Using semicolons is a good practice for separating clauses, especially if you're being verbose My mother gave me my first car; it was an beautiful 2002 Honda Civic with a falling-off bumper and b

I'm aware of what it looks like, and I've been up at 12-15% before. It's absolutely genetic, most of my family runs very skinny. I have generally decent muscle definition, although the fat I have tends to sit in my hips and s

I am mostly sedentary, and maintain body fat below 10%. It's mainly genetics, and probably 20% diet.

Thank you! I'm the director of public policy for a non-profit firearms advocacy group, and we do quite a bit of news analysis. This could be super helpful for a piece I'm writing on how gun owners of color have been treated by the

This is a special little corner of the internet, and I love it very much. I also have it blocked in etc/hosts on every work computer I ever use.

I would compare CNN/WSJ, and Fox/MSNBC. Much closer in terms of tone and target audience. Reason Magazine is probably the pinnacle of very good right-leaning journalism, filling the same niche as VICE on the left. I really enjoy t

I'm currently in upstate NY, and I am moving because of my state government. My immediate family all moved to Europe. I want to be left alone and enjoy life with people I like. New York is no longer compatible with that goal. Recently,
