Carver was the first author whose books I really latched onto.

That was bound to happen with the 8-9% inflation we had during the Biden years. 2026 will likely see a similar decline thanks to Trump’s war in Iran.

Yep. We were promised it would save us money. Instead, healthcare care costs skyrocketed thanks to Obamacare.

The comment I was replying to saying that almost all diseases and cancers are caused by it isn’t the same thing though. Disease and cancer has been around for a long long time before the use of fossil fuels.

“Almost all diseases/cancers linked to pollution” is such a bizarre claim.

How very tyrannical.

You need a ton of land for solar and no renewable is as reliable as fossil fuels.

I’ve purchased many Udemy courses over the years. The subscription plan they’ve been pushing makes no sense financially. I hope I’m wrong but I worry that eventually being a subscriber will be the only thing they offer.

There are 10s of thousands of pro musicians who don’t generate 1000 streams per year on many of the songs in their back catalog. And the premise of your statement is that only pro musicians deserve to be compensated for their work. That’s a

Wow. This is certainly a take. Two things: 1. Spotify has had a policy for a couple years now of not paying artists who generate less than 1,000 streams per year PER song. So if I get 999 streams on each of my 50 songs every year, I get not

Considering the currently don’t pay small time artists a dime so they can funnel more money to the record labels that own them, they are still a piracy outfit.

I have a relative that has a border collie and the thing has got to have the dog version of Down syndrome. This dog does the worst job of being a dog that I’ve ever seen.

I almost gave up on this after the first couple of paragraphs but I’m glad I stuck with it. It’s an interesting perspective. I’ll recommend on old book I randomly found a couple years ago: We Took to the Woods. It was surprisingly fascinati

Interesting read. How we got the word “goodbye” is also a cool story.

Just a couple days ago I was able to try white honey from Montana. I don’t believe there is any rarity to it but it was new to me and tasted great.

Trump takes time out of his day to specifically say he hates you and wishes to do you harm? That sounds really scary, random HN user.

Couldn’t make it past the first paragraph without a bunch of lies and half-truths. There’s plenty to criticize about this admin. No need to exaggerate and obfuscate.

I’ve been reading Influence by Robert Cialdini and just finished a disturbing section about how we are wired to obey an authority figure even when it causes harm. In this instance, the 911 dispatcher was the authority figure. Sad story.

I bought an XP-pen drawing tablet. I had it on my Amazon wishlist for years and had never pulled the trigger because I feared I wouldn’t use it. Well, I was right… Also, pretty much any board game expansion. They usually add complexity with

I attend a church where most of the folks are older and they don’t seem to get it that younger people won’t just find our church like in the old days because people aren’t connected by local businesses like they used to be. I don’t mind say

As a right leaning person, I see people criticize the UK all the time for this kind of stuff. And here it happened in TN of all places?

I used to work in the pet industry and an oft cited statistic was that 1,000,000 cats and dogs are euthanized every year in the US. It would never happen for cultural reasons but, it seems like China could be a booming market for selling th

Today’s doctor shortage can be traced directly to government policy in the early 80s that lasted for 25 years. They assumed we’d have too many doctors and pressured medical schools to reduce enrollment.

Two things have reduced my love of watching football in recent years: 1. The number of injuries 2. The constant gambling ads.
