As I said, it’s unreasonable in the big picture. The big picture matters. But it’s not _illogical_ for someone who has everything they want to oppose things they don’t need. NIMBY-is like another application of the “possession is 9/10t

I find it problematic that so many people reject your opinion, in particular because I suspect they are probably downplaying the degree to which it parallels the way most Americans think about where they live, to one degree or another. Your

It may surprise technical users but a _lot_ of people who have used Macs and iPhones for more than a decade don't know what an application is, much less what that application might be called. They just click an icon and things appear -

This prompted me to seek out and find blog posts and Reddit screeds by other readers who, like myself, picked up All the Pretty Horses, thought it was awful, and have been reliably confused by the Cormac MaCarthy's fame and success eve

100% agree and if I was a little ahead in the money game instead of rather behind (for reasons I can't blame on living in the US) I'd accept a 40% salary cut to live where I lived as a kid in Germany - 45m outside of a city, with

The retail VPN market is almost $50 billion. I think the true outliers are VPN customers who use it for purposes other than streaming and sharing.

There's a great BBC podcast on this coin ("The Missing Cryptoqueen") in which they interview an engineer who was offered the job of creating a blockchain, despite the fact that the coin was already in circulation and being so

If you ask the average person under 50 what network produced a list of hit shows from the last decade, you’d get some correct HBO answers and a whole lot of blank stares. In the heyday of the Pirate Bay that was where you got shows. Today I

Okay, I re-watched. Everything about that foul was stupid - including, I think, the decision to call it - but it was a foul.

I felt the penalty was a gift from the sponsors but kept watching. France almost overcame that thumb on the scales, and I’m glad I didn’t tune out. Still, it’s an egregious shame and it tarnishes the win.

I've actually interviewed with German companies, and one of the tricky bits is compensation. They only way things would make something like sense financially is if I keep my US house and rent it out at about twice my mortgage expense.

Better is relative, but from Strapi and DatoCMS on the lower end to Contentful on the higher end, there's a whole lot of possibility outside of a first-generation, monolithic CMS like Drupal. Drupal can do things, and in the hands of a

Dozens of headless CMS systems have far better content models than Drupal. Often Drupal is used because it has been used for x years and change is hard, non-technical managers are hired on account of their years of experience “building with

I’m very interested in Twitter alternatives, but would not click that link if it cost me to do so. That feels like a bad sign for this model.

Carhartt isn't unsusual at all, it's trendy and has been adopted as streetwear. And I think you're overthinking the performative aspect, it's bog standard teenage behavior that diminishes over time but persists forever.

Actually people desire to belong to a mission, join a quest, and to engage with comrades to reclaim glory that seems lost. This factors into their political views and actions. We can see this in the political arena today.

I was fortunate to travel a lot in my teens - all over Europe and parts of Asia in the 80s. I have perhaps a dozen photos of those trips, but I have lots of memories seared into my brain. Today my phone "reminds" me of experiences

Show me an auto ad of folks sharing a bottle of wine while driving or not wearing seatbelts or shoes. Those would never happen for the same reasons these irresponsible kayak ads should never happen.
