As a Canadian, the free printing and mailing of paper checks anywhere in the country is perhaps the wildest US bank feature to me.

What did you do with all the random stuff?

However, you could offer a service to existing Amazon prime users to help find these fun, cheap gift items. Maybe generate punny jokes people could include in the notes if they want. Join the Amazon affiliate program and earn a few cents fr

I recall using this occasionally in the 90s even. There was also a period where I would regularly "one ring" my parents as code to call me back. IIRC that was because my cell plan had unlimited (or at least more) incoming minutes

Haven't done it in a long time, but years ago I had a similar realization that picture frames were cheaper than cards. So you can frame a little note, either with a picture or just suggest they can reuse it if they like. Buying greetin

Fair enough, my kids are older now, so my memory isn't too fresh. And I despised both of those enough that I didn't get much of a sample size! Man could I not stand Caillou though.

Agreed. There's a tier list that probably goes something like Bluey, Daniel Tiger, MLP, Paw Patrol, Pepa Pig,,,, Caillou.

But the battery only lasts a day or two. The G604 is almost as nice, but battery lasts weeks. But it will likewise need switch replacements before long and is likewise no longer made. None of Logitech's current mice fill the same niche

I've been using both GPT 5.2 and Gemini 3 Pro a lot. I was very impressed with 3 Pro when it came out, and thought I'd cancel my OAI Plus, but I've since found that for important tasks it's been beneficial to compare the

This framing I'm on board with. The original comment took it too far for me, and even if not intended as defeatist I think could encourage that response. I'm all for people working not only to better their own conditions, but soci

Honestly I don't disagree with anything you wrote, I don't think. It is worth remembering that if we were born in someone else's shoes, with their genes and their environment, we would literally be them and would act as the

That attitude is the weapon of suppression. Yes, it's true that life isn't fair. But it's also true that people have agency and can make material improvements to their own quality of life through smart decisions and dedicatio

That's Kafkaesque. We're not talking about SEO here, just simple proof of identity. If they require something sane like ID, they could simply say so. If they need something insane, or have no process at all for proving identity, t

Either one works. And that's actually a way to help remember the general rule. If you can rephrase it split up like that (ie. 'set it up'), then that's the multi-word, verb form. Edit: actually, either way works, except

That I don't know. I don't have an English or linguistics background myself, it's just a common mistake I've noticed. Ironically though, your reply has another similar one. You read books every day; reading books is an e

Wouldn't normally nitpick, but just in case it's helpful as an author - compound verbs that end in particles, like "set up", "break down", "log in", "check out", etc., are all two words when

Sounds like you've invented your own spin on GTD, while thinking of it as something else. If that works for you, more power to you!

I don't know, I would have enjoyed a "Floopzy launches with $10B seed round" or something.

True I suppose, though I also expect we're considerably more than 10 years away from 20 minutes of overall net positive output!

It was very laggy for me in Firefox on Windows, but played smoothly in Chrome.

That's what the OP asked for, essentially. They copied today's homepage into the prompt and asked it for a version 10 years in the future.

Wait, wouldn't sustained net positive energy be huge? (Though I don't think that's actually possible from ITER unless there were some serious upgrades over the next decade!)

The OP mentioned pasting the current frontpage into the prompt.

After reading the title I'm disappointed this isn't some new mind-bending theory about the relativistic nature of the universe.

I don't think the author's argument is that it won't replace any human labour. Or at least I wouldn't agree with such an argument. But the stronger case is that however much LLMs improve, they won't replace humans

Yeah, it's condescending.

This comment would've been good without the pointless insult at the top.

In a way I agree with you that this will cause market distortion in the form of greater demand for real estate over eg. equities. But there are plenty of such tax distortions; for example many countries have favourable tax treatment for dom

I wonder if it's possible to also increase the amount of generation on existing dams? I could imagine there being situations where there's excess peak flow capacity but it isn't utilized because the flow rate would be unsusta
