I know people will hate this idea, but I would like to see what it would look like if they limited the amount of tweets a free account was allowed to send and even deprioritize those tweets to only show up on to their followers. Seems like

I am not very good at card/deck building games, but I assumed they wanted you to cull your deck when I noticed they make you use gold to do so. After realizing that, I started trying to keep a lean and focused deck. I only play casuall

Yeah, I've read most of Cormac McCarthy's books, but I've never gotten past the first 50 pages of Blood Meridian. Even compared to Child of God, it just hit me in the wrong ways whenever I read it. Still hoping to get to it s

I mean, the punch a nazi in the face meme was spawned by a self defined nazi being punched in the face. I am not surprised you a using a throwaway to defend this.

While I still agree on wanting to direct money from military to science, it isn't a one time cost. In 2012, the yearly budget for the LHC was 1 billion [1]. [1]: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2012&#x2

I mean, they specifically say they are partnering with him and his publishing company to write stories on Medium about race and civil rights. Outside of that, they call out how his voice/actions led discussions on racial justice and ho

I feel like it occupying space in your mind for years, even if only for a few minutes at a time, gives credence to it's value as art.

That's my father since he retired. He does wood working as a hobby, but he will use any excuse to go to the hardware store. I don't know his actual frequency, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is there 4-5 times a week, with

I think most people get them as a deterrent to break ins, not to spy on their neighbors. At least thats why I have one. I had my house robbed a few years back, which was actually horrifying. Insurance covered all the valuables, but the stuf

I got a group of friends to use Signal because of the following: 1. Sharing videos/pictures/memes is terrible in an SMS group chat 2. One person in the group has bad cell service, so we needed something that would send messages ov

I develop Python exclusively on Windows (that then is deployed on Linux) and my experience is identical to the original poster. It's not a perfect system, but it's good enough and I have dealt with dependency management systems.

It doesn't have to be Jeff Bezos. At the start of the pandemic in the US there were plenty of stories of bad actors leveraging their credit to buy up high demands items (toilet paper, hand sanitizer, etc) all around their local area an

Yeah, Amazon's ebook buying experience is about as seamless as one could ask for. I do not think the ebook buying experience has anything to do with why paper books are still around.

Oxygen Not Included might be close to what you are looking for. It's based in space, but its basically a systems-based game for managing a space colony. Includes managing your air (how much oxygen, handling co2), waste, water, spread o

I have a group of four friends and we have a video game night twice a week. Outside of my wife, it's probably the only social contact I have now that feels "normal".

I had something weird in March. It was a mix of a mild burning feeling in my chest, loss of appetite, and fatigue. I honestly thought it was just anxiety related to the quarantine manifesting in symptoms, and it very well might have been, b

I have done the opposite. Before this, I would do take out once or twice a week and just pick it up on my way home from work. Never used delivery apps. Since lock down, I use Doordash 2-3 times a week.

I am pretty sure modern agriculture does a lot of this based on keeping track of everything (what's planted, how much fertilizer, weather, soil conditions, etc). I am not sure the last time you have been on a farm, but setting up a sys

I don't think you actually have to do that. At least with my iPad pro, when it is in landscape, I don't have to do anything different with my head. The only issue I have is if I am holding it in landscape with my hands I have to m

I feel like I have heard rumors about amazing closed door tech demos for Magic Leap for years now, so I always assumed that's how they got so much money. The question then is did they just have a really good pitch/canned demo, or

Even systems that try to improve upon the UX and simplify the process, like Entrust, still suffer from this problem. PGP seemed almost like magic when I first used it, but I look forward to it being relegated to the history books.

It's not just Microsoft, I've seen similar articles from other telework apps (Zoom, Slack, etc) and from internet providers talking about the increased activity they are seeing. I think it just comes with out current situation.

I started working from home in early March, and even then most webcams were sold out on Amazon. I ended up finding the camera I wanted on Bestbuy without any problems and it was delivered pretty quickly. I just checked again, and the same w

I am hoping more grocery stores near me are taking similar steps. This was the first time I've gone to the store in 2 weeks, so it's possible others are doing the same as well by now. The last time I went to a bigger store near me

It doesn't, but it helps keep people separated. I did notice each cashier had their own bottle of hand sanitizer, so that could help if they used it after each transaction. Personally, I would still want gloves and a surgical mask if I
