That struck me as well. Another option would have been to support local bookstores by subsidizing transportation, which would have allowed them to lower the price to the point of being competitive with Amazon. But I guess that using public

Tangent: I'd like to see the effects of dog adoption on pregnancies. I have witnessed and heard about a non insignificant number of young couples hesitant to having kids (because careers, mostly) deciding to adopt a dog for varying rea

Agreed. My line of thought is that I don't want to isolate from the outsides because I don't like it and it's dangerous. So cheap is enough outside. In more controlled environments (home, office), isolation is either a requir

Headphones are the use case I use the most to introduce people (usually younger people and students) to the benefits of low tech and overall to the benefits of less. I strongly agree with you. My headphones are 10€, last forever and I have

My take on this article's tl;dr;: COVID shone some light on how pointless productivity is without fulfillment. Let's achieve fulfillment with better productivity tools! Now the critique: Being after productivity at the expense of
