>I've always wanted to try a real Toto, especially with the drying feature. Drying was one of the features that I wished I hadn't paid extra for. It is a trickle of air and would take way too long to get you dry.

I’d love to ditch the multiple google mail accounts that I setup for nonprofits, but I worry that google is better at catching spam and fishing than the competitors. I use outlook for another, but MS is insanely unfriendly to newb users and

I have a read later “service” called keeping a couple hundred tabs open at once (enabled with Sidebury vertical tabs and their panels). Works great for me.

The problem with Siri is not the lack of LLM level functionality, but rather a lack of programming Siri to do obvious things that users would expect it to do. Well, that, and worst in class speech recognition. They are one of the top valued

I’ve taken it for over 30 years now. It has indeed been a lifesaver and so much better than all the pills. One side effect is blurred vision and I have definitely noticed a slight blurring in the last couple of years. I gladly accept it as

Cool idea. I’ll check it out. It would be cool to do something like this for single word highlights on an e reader. If I have highlighted a singe word it is because I want to add it to my vocabulary.

If you have any issues talking family member into a bidet, I used this on my teenagers with much success: "If you got poop on your arm, would you just wipe it off with paper?"

Features I have and think aren't worth paying more for: 1. Dryer. None of them push anywhere near enough air to do anything useful. I use a hair blow dryer. 2. Hot water. Although it is a bit of a shock, I prefer cold water as it helps

Of course! But what about all of the agriculture that gets exported? In CA, it is over half of almonds and ~15% of alfalfa (cattle feed).

https://kindlemodding.org/ I appreciate finding that site as well, but I thought it strange that I couldn't find a "why jailbreak" section. Does anyone here know? I don't want Amazon's spying on me

I guess group chat would be fine if all your friends are friends of each other. High School and college ages maybe, but as an older adult, I have so many different groups of people that I interact with that it would be obnoxious to deal wi

I never load the homepage. Feeds>friends in a firefox container with FBPurity is the only way I’ll touch that abomination. I also find that I have to mute a lot of over sharers. I feel for those people because I know they are like rats p

IMO using a streaming service’s recommendations is a way to filter out bands that labels aren’t promoting. The services have to be getting paid for pushing - right? If everyone is this lazy about music discovery, then music suffers. I am no

Why is there no Spotify for audiobooks? Audible’s pricing model is stupid. I guess the bean counters know better than I, but I imagine there are a lot of people like me who just shrug and listen to what I can get for free through my library

Great post! I think it all comes down to self awareness. The more you are aware of your conscious and unconscious biases, you are the more empowered to mitigate the resultant rational failures.

Manual URL editing is unbelievably painful on mobile and all the kids only use their phones these days - I guess this includes all the cool kid engineers making browsers.

It sounds to me like you are specifically calling out the one crash where equities and bonds both went down at the same time? And that you are saying because this happened, we are now in totally uncharted territory where nothing from the pa

They are cheaper than most for sure, but still more than buying individual ETFs. Here are 4 common funds that are used in risk parity portfolios: VTI = .03% VXUS = .06% VGLT = .03% GLDM = .1% (edit) I am not arguing that that investing in T

IME, when I take long breaks from lifting, keeping my protein intake high means I lose muscle much more slowly. One gram of protein per pound of body weight daily has been a major game changer in losing weight and gaining muscle. Gray beard

I am an “everything is custom tailored to my players” DM and I use LLMs quite a lot as an assistant. Speeding up prep time is always welcome. Using an LLM directly as a DM? Oh hell no. Also, I ran a session over Zoom and their AI summary wa
