I'm in the same boat as you. But maybe we aren't the target here--if we were to feed this to our children from a very young age, maybe they wouldn't have the same reaction as us. When I saw a video of how sausages were made m

I grew up on 90s video game violence. Doom, Mortal Kombat, Duke Nukem, etc. I've found that over time, the type of violence that disturbs me is the one that is the most realistic. I had friends growing up who joined the military becaus

I have the same taste in movies as you (awful B-grade or cinematic masterpiece, nothing in between), but I have the exact opposite conclusion regarding movies as an art form being "dead". Just like with music, the technical barrie

I’m in a very similar situation as you: my wife is inheriting a Steinway baby grand piano that needs internal repair, and needs to be shipped from Tucson to the Bay Area. It has a lot of sentimental value but not much resale value. It may c

You just perfectly described my hometown, Davis CA. The busses are nice but besides the heavy student traffic in the morning and afternoon they are pretty empty.

My mid-2000s car has a CD player but no aux port. Instead of going out to buy CD-Rs I asked friends on social media for any spare CD-Rs they were willing to get rid of. Lo and behold I now have over 400 blank CD-Rs that I didn’t pay a singl

I agree, mainstream theater sound is absolutely awful. IMAX is one of the most uncomfortable experiences out there. Local theaters in my area with smaller screens tend to not be as ridiculously loud.

My stove (a 1950s General Motors electric...yes they made stoves apparently) was finally too old for the local repairmen to want to repair it since they no longer had the equipment to replace the outlet which was a different standard at the

I wonder if it's a combination of a) appliances are now much cheaper as a percentage of our disposable income b) planned obsolescence. The ironic thing is that we now have such easy access to repair manuals for stuff online. Some thing

I've had good luck with Dr. Bronners, but I haven't used a non-aluminum based deodorant/anti-perspirant that works for me.

I work in the Bay Area as a software engineer but live in Davis and work from there two days a week (wife is a PhD student). Delta of Venus is the only place I can get work done.

IANAL, but Crispin Glover sued the creators of Back to the Future II for using a mold his face as George McFly without permission [1]. While he starred in the first film, the second film used a mold of his face since he ended up not joining

Bicycle-building has replaced my obsession with building PCs. Unlike PCs, bike performance doesn't follow Moore's Law -- bikes make forty years ago, if kept in decent condition, are still going to be better bikes than a new bike p

I'm 30, but I have been riding the same 1983 Motobecane since high school as my main commuter bike (~50 miles a week). Down tube friction shifters make maintenance on the road very easy. That said I can't vouch for the biopace rin

Not a professional bike mechanic (I build bikes as a hobby) but in general your front brake should be set up to be powerful enough on its own. This requires clean rims, and clean, non-worn, non-hardened brake pads.

It's been years since I've done music recording as a hobby so someone correct me if I'm wrong -- you can be guaranteed that almost all popular music is pitch corrected in some way. There's Autotune and then there are oth

This is what I'm waiting for, basically. When I had a DK2, using the virtual desktop application was so much fun. The issue is that the resolution isn't quite there yet, but I think that issue will be solved sooner than you would

Slightly-off topic rant, but as a Bay Area millennial in the tech industry, I find it completely preposterous just how much even us with six-figure salaries are willing to spend for the opportunity to live above their favorite brunch spot

I have found that dual-core+ desktop machines from the mid-2000s last quite awhile. Laptops can be a mixed bag depending on how upgradable the internals are / how powerful the internal GPU is. I gave my sister recently a T420s that I h
