Why do none of the good phone options get sold in the US??!? E.g. Sony has one of the few modern smartphones in a reasonable size (xperia 10II (might be the dumbest name though)), and way too few of the bands work in the American market.

He mostly does history education through the lens of pop culture. He's a bit outside his expertise on this subject, but uses it as a launching off point for educational content rather than trying to be a "military strategist"

Waiting for the day when augmented reality glasses let you block irl ads. Realistically it'll be the opposite first of course.

to add one that hasn't been mentioned in this thread, a good hostfile can both block ads and speed up your internet. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

The number of times I had to yell at family members to NOT CLICK THAT ITS AN AD is maddening. It required getting a pretty nasty virus and a complete wipe to actually convince my dad to install adblock.

Wizards tried to change their license so that all third party material (books, virtual table tops, anything using the srd) was treated the way videogame mods are, and charge 30% of revenue (this was ogl 1.1). Players unsubscribed from the s

The difference is that in large swaths of the US, taking away their license is not that different from house arrest. Breaking the speed limit by 10mph is completely unenforced. I've yet to be on the highway without someone going 20 ove

It's complicated, because some of our best examples of recently successfully developing economies (Japan, Korea, China) actually had pretty heavy state intervention and tariffs to protect growing industries.

This seems handy, particularly the phone number part. Reminds me of the privacy credit card system, though their backend is privacy compromised.

I don't really like this explanation, tbh. "spin your function" doesn't really make sense. If I didn't already know what they were trying to say, I'd have no idea.

I find things like leechblock[0] useful. In general, will power is a poor substitute for designing your environment. It's a limited resource that should only be used to start developing habits. [0] https://addons.mozilla.org&
