You're complaining about how Trump was presented as a threat to democracy after he made a speech saying how if he wins you'll never have to vote again? After he lead an insurrection and tried to illegally overthrow the previous el

My other half is a non-native English speaker. She's fluent but and since ChatGPT came out she's found it very helpful having somewhere to paste a paragraph and get a better version back rather than asking me to rewrite things. Th

I don't play chess and have never used chess.com, what's to stop someone playing on their PC and using an app on their phone to prompt their next move? I guess their anti cheat can't be like video game DRM but how do you decl

The His Dark Materials was probably the first books I got really in to and some of the only books I've ever re-read. I read a couple of others by the same author but wasn't grabbed as much. I think I was around 13 at the time. Har

Ready Player One is not a good book. It starts with an interesting premise then devolves in to a competition for how many 80s references it can fit in each sentence.

Really? I own a Niro and I'm 6''. Even in the back there's plenty of room. My only slight wish is the steering wheel could be adjusted further backwards but in the couple of years ownership we've done many 6+ hour d

I'm sure all the points are correct but the assessment for ways forward being to just use TSMC as the manufacturer completely ignores the somewhat perilous position Taiwan is in with a looming Chinese invasion. I'd be very relucta

The UCI banned some handlebars that were regarded as too far forward, they've banned elbows being too high, they've banned handlebars pointing slightly inwards. They'll ban anything that's even slightly out the ordinary

Totally aside from the point of the article I noticed he used the phrase "I played Cassandra". Can anyone tell me what this means? Searching brings up nothing.

Not nearly as cool as most responses but the other day I re-hung our house's back door as the hinge had snapped. I had to chisel new slots for the bigger hinges in the frame and the door. No way as neat as a proper carpenter would do b

The only way the carbon tube hasn't turned to sea dust is if the porthole failed first. When carbon fibre fails it catastrophically fails. I'd put money on the joint between the ti and carbon being the weak point and once there&#x

My logical connections are looking at your comment history and seeing you supporting Trump and distrusting vaccines so I think the reddit piss drinking analogy works best here. I'm out.

Cis means I identify now as I did when I was born. I was born male and still identify as male. As such I haven't had the struggles of someone who has had to discover their identity. "Low effort social grift", sorry I thought

wifi dongles aren't exactly bullet proof. For example if you use a cycling turbo trainer with a power meter, a macbook and an ANT+ (2.4ghz) dongle there's a good chance you've had to buy a 6 foot extender cable so get the don

I use my PC infrequently, just for video games when I get time. It feels like every time I turn it one, maybe once a month, it's done an update to somehow look worse and worse. One of the latest changes is the search bar in the menu ba

Weird to see a right wing opinion piece posted on hacker news, even weirder to see the only downvoted comments are ones pointing out the reputation and editorial style of The Spectator. That of being a wordy Dail Mail. Maybe Hackernews has
