One of my favorite things in the world is learning a new software tool. I never do digital graphics or art, but I've spent hundreds of hours fooling around in photoshop because learning the tools, keybinds, workflows, documentation, et

A remake of The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot. You built a maze/castle with traps, defenders, etc and your gold was stored at the end of the castle. You’d raid other castle to try and get their gold, meanwhile your castle would get raided

Frostpunk may be close to what you’re looking for. It’s a very punishing survival sim where you build up and manage a small village in a world (I think) that’s a frozen tundra due to nuclear war. You can send out expeditions, recruit new pe

I interviewed at Amazon a few months into Covid and they were interviewing but not hiring to put people in their “recycled” status. Which means we’ll hire you but not in this exact role or this exact time.

Unless you’re retiring in the next 10 years, or planning on purchasing a house in the next few years, then just make your emergency fund a little bigger and hold on to your job. Follow your normal financial planning. You’re not going to out

It’s peg is isn’t entirely accurately described as $1. > Tether charges a 0.1% fee for withdrawals up to a maximum of $1,000, which means Tether is redeemable at $0.99 for up to $1 million, and then $1 above $1million in terms of money i

That is correct, and additionally: > Tether charges a 0.1% fee for withdrawals up to a maximum of $1,000, which means Tether is redeemable at $0.99 for up to $1 million, and then $1 above $1million in terms of money in the bank.

Interesting. My first response is to assume these would cause a lot of car crashes, but apparently the data says otherwise. If there are other features to ensure drivers are going slow (speed bumps, chicanes, etc) these seem nice as a cycli

You must be putting your bikes through hell and never maintaining them. There are no instances where a chain should break if properly maintained and replaced at the end of its life.

Miami has some weird weather patterns where it’s always humid, but the temperature never reaches triple digits so you don’t have the crazy hot muggy unbearable summers like the Midwest.

UV index is definitely a more accurate representation. I had to look it up because people always say it’s the elevation, which turns out to be partly true. The link below says an increase of 2% for every 1000 feet, so most of Denver gets 10

Auto dealerships are a good example. They are run by some local guy who gets a little bit of support from corporate and probably has a low cost marketing agency. But none of them use Wordpress as there are CMSs for the industry. I don’t rem

Would someone mind calming me by explaining why this is not a huge red flag, this isn’t the beginning of the end, and a theoretical crypto crash won’t throw the market into turmoil (or why the current market turmoil ain’t so bad)? I don’t h

The point is that lions are chasing down prey 100% of the time, and so humans also don’t need to be actively doing something 100% of the time either. Doomscrolling isn’t a great example, but is comparable to the leisure of lions.

I challenge you to purchase a product from one or two of these brands and compare it to the Walmart/China version. They are not the same. From my experience, the quality has been better than brands I’d usually get at Nordstrom rack.

It’s incorrect to assume that because a company outsourced a section of their business that there is no innovation occurring there. Companies can innovate and not be direct to consumer. By OP’s logic Apple doesn’t innovate in product produc

True. Fidelity was mining bitcoins for years before other institutional investors were involved and they likely hold massive reserves. I just hope they’ve insulated themselves against the risk.
