If you get vaccinated is a choice heavily correlated to skin color, at least in my neck of the woods. Less than 40% of black men are vaccinated here, and conspiracies that covid-19 was created by Israel so that they could create the vaccine

Yeah. Stairs are scary. My able bodied middle aged partner fainted halfway down the stairs, and damn, you know, uh, you don’t forget something like that, even though she only mildly fractured her spine and just was in a lot of pain but “fin

This is not really a competitor to the behringer semi modular analog synths that upset some people, but an inexpensive synth I'd highly recommend is the Arturia Microfreak.

People who were adults in 1950 are often still alive. I don't know that the ones I know have strong opinions either way. They certainly like iPads after never getting the hang of computers...

My main car rental situation was travelling to work headquarters where I had in the past lived, and renting cars for weekend trips because I did not own one. In both cases I would choose electric and was familiar with the area. But I may no

I assume there is a little bit of a "meme stock" element to this, the reddit folks will love it, but I think I would pay a small premium for an electric car when renting (unless I needed long distance). More likely I pay a premium

What's the replacement for Perl based Verilog metaprogramming in the Intel (I think) style? I'm being a little cheeky, but that is a use-case for perl at a few of the places that make the processors that the web-frameworks that no

I don’t see many mentions of weight, and that’s my number one. There are some incredibly light laptops available now, and that’s my number one criteria, how light can you get with a 13 inch screen. I’ve currently got a monster “workstation”

Lower car costs?

Good point. I’ve got friends who use the same approach, but I gotta say, I think they do less reselling of things than they think. But that’s not really a problem (unless you run out of room) of course.

Why not just rent the drywall lift? If your work stretches across a week it's not cheaper, but the goal would be to rent the lift, hang all the drywall, return it to the lumber-yard/home improvement store/hardware store by th

I find this logic strange. As someone who's friend was killed in an accident where he was not wearing a seatbelt, this kind of logic makes the person who ran a stop sign at 45 miles an hour the "victim," and not the person wh

Yeah, my (very frank and helpful!) internal career counselor told me, whatever the CEO and promotional materials from HR say, be prepared for moving between groups to be much harder than moving within one, there will be bad blood afterwards

Some consider $1000 too low to be a real UBI, so $83 definitely wouldn’t count.

Lol yep, it was not very difficult to tune into NBC and watch, though it was a little swimming and gymnastics heavy. I understand why, but would have preferred like 10% less, maybe just highlights from some other sports, or maybe having tri

Anyone have a recommendation for label making software for the Apple ii? My ImageWriter is the only printer I own and I was wanting to run a batch of home brew labels, just like name date og/fg sort of thing.

Even in urban areas we lost broadcasters in the transition to digital. It is just worse in a lot of ways. I don't care that my morning weather report is clearer in picture, if it stutters seemingly randomly. It's not as far as uni

Is that a code name or engineering name? In my experience in a similar company there are three names that are not always 1:1 matches. An engineering name like Q187, and code name like Lemon Cardamom, and an external name like Aleph 250+. On
