This reminds me a lot of time I spend reading Dwell magazine a decade ago. Since that time, I've moved past the point where building such a house is impossible for me financially, but I've also moved past the point where such a ho

I’m just one data point but there is in my opinion a market for: “I don’t want to talk to people about it, I don’t want to read books about it, I don’t want to connect with anyone about anything in any app, but I’d like to get nuggets of sc

I agree the pitch is poor, but the homepage makes me more interested. Dad-tip: if this were selling a "4-minute dad" approach it would be up my alley. As in, give me a digest of all the books my wife is reading about parenting, so

I experimented with quitting alcohol for January and I felt immediate results. Like, the first evening was different, I stayed up reading, and every day I felt significantly better in the morning and had far more “juice” left in my brain at

I had the pleasure of living on a farm, while freelancing, where my girlfriend was a cheesemaker. The farm was amazing: hundreds of well cared-for cows, sheep, and goats. An education program that brought kids around. Rolling hills and a ve

Neil Young has, as far as I’m aware, made a point of arguing against GMO policy, not science. He’s anti-corporate, greed and an environmentalist, and Monsanto and glysophate are credible threats to farmers and the environment, respectively

I’ve burned out on certain things I thought were amazingly delicious, through over-consumption. It took years but I can knock down a large pho again.

This is just redevelopment. What’s _really weird_ to me is new developments that are designed to look like walkable town centers, but are actually open-air shopping malls in the exurbs of cities with hollowed-out centers that were thriving

I'm with the anti-GMO crowd for the monopolistic concerns on top of the effing-with nature concerns. GMOs are (probably) not dangerous like asbestos, but they are by no means safe and a good idea. https://www.vanityfair.com&

While you’re telling the truth, calling someone who is defensive about a tribal identity to which they subscribe that they and their cohorts are all wrong is about as effective as telling an Insane Clown Posse fan that they are listening to

The value of real estate may decline but it’s very unlikely to dip into the “affordable for normal folks” territory where demand exists. Rental houses are an asset class now, and that’s unlikely to change while the rich can get richer renti

I read this as long-winded but ultimately good career advice. In a truly dysfunctional company, you'll burn out and/or become a pariah if you try to tackle foundational, intractable problems. I've worked places with 'emp

This is fine advice and I think we all have a bit more time available to us than we imagine. But as a parent, I have at best time to workout before I drive myself to work and my munchkin to school, and then what time remains between their b

The mistake is to work for a small client instead of talking to dozens and building something that suits their needs that can also be sold to thousands via a platform or theme marketplace. Build storemapper.com not a feature that does the s

I’m interested in this as I have a child not far behind in age. If I rolled my own it would be a little like Slack, probably a single channel with threads and like a 30-day history, to keep it pretty ephemeral. The logs would be in an admin

Your last point is what meeting other travelers is about. It’s fun! But once that box has been checked in life, there are swiftly diminishing returns to gain from meeting other transient, internet-connected, first-world people like yourself

Our experience was kicked off by a troublesome ultrasound and then confirmed by amniocentesis. The tragedy of receiving news like this is probably fathomable, but I think it may be hard to grasp the emotional and intellectual agony of decid

A comment that stuck with me during the summer of 2021, when heat domes baked Sweden and Seattle and California and Greece were on fire, was that it was likely the coolest summer of the next decade.

Edit: it's reusable/refillable bottles that I am remembering and referring to, and I'm happy to say the system in Germany seems to be strong, per Google.

Isn’t there a decline in deposit bottle usage in Germany? When I was a kid beer was delivered to your house by the crate and empties picked up. I was led to believe this has become less common, which would be regrettable bc it was elegantly

Agree. The notion that moderation of any kind can make individual Facebook comments and opinions _at scale_ a trustable source of information is false. I’m not sure anyone believes it, and the outsourcing of the whole operation suggests it’

I was given an opioid via IV to prep for surgery in my 20s and while that dosage was by design higher than standard Oxycontin prescriptions, people just use more OxyContin to achieve similar effect. It’s very hard to describe the effect exc

I'm curious what interactivity you require. Reddit is not 'real time' app, and this seems like a feature, not a bug. Slack is way beyond where Campfire started out, but can you boil the difference down to interactivity? In my
