As a dev, o boy, the silence while people read your docs was maddening. Great people watching though as they digested and marked up what you wrote. Whole process is mildly cathartic to be honest.

Tobacco free snus like pouches have exploded in the US the past two years. I quit smoking about a year and a half ago by switching to them. I'm not sure if they're cooler or less cool than gum but it's pretty great not smokin

Sort of a guilty secret but I used to save POC work for right after a company talk or party and a few beers. I could spew out a few hundred lines of code that was a bit messy but was got the job done. I’d go over it and clean it all up the

Sneaker counterfeiters generally don't care all that much about pass authentication checks. For shoes, and most clothing, they care more about time to market (getting their fake out before or near release date) and price point. If some

Depends why you’re buying the property. If you need to clean it, for example get it out of a country or if you got it from questionable means, property is a great place to park it. Look at all the empty store fronts in NYC before the pandem

I pretty much all of these. One thing I wanted to add is decorators. There is code you might have easy access to edit to add print statements. I don’t love the spring boot docs and reading the code isn’t as useful as stepping through your s

My understanding that was for the special fabrics and/or the dyes used. For example raw indigo bleeds a whole lot more with higher heat. I know there are some fabrics and blends that are fragile compared to something like a cotton tshi

I think an interesting addition would be the sexualization of pop music through the 00s and 10s. The other child post referenced the Janet Jackson super bowl fiasco. There was plenty of outrage for Britney Spears and I’d say even more for s

Outrage has always sold. You can look at cultural/artistic things similar to this, like Rock and Roll in the 70s/80s and Rap music in the 90s, to political, War on Drugs and the Patriot Act. I'm sure you could look and find s

Hmm probably about a third of my graduate level QED class and considerably less in my undergraduate QM but you'd be surprised at the cross over between potheads and high level physics.

I spent a few weeks living in Bali and these were so much better than the Red Bull back in the states. I don't even think I've had a Red Bull since I've been back (almost 5 years) because I know I'd rather have a Krating

Paul's notes are great! Carried my butt through Calc 3 and PDEs, especially when the math for these classes get a little more formulaic (that is there is a pretty small set of reasonable questions you could possibly ask). His stuff is

Flu vaccines are less effective than what we're seeing with the covid vaccines as well as they're more of a guess as to what will become the biggest flu variant vs after the fact of the covid vaccines. Not really comparable.

Eh I think both the example you've provided aren't the best. A season pass breaks even at most places in 4-6 days if you're going at peak rates. A car rental is much more variable (parking, distance limits etc) but does have

If you’re looking at an online course I agree the basics will be watched more often (as well as due to people not completing the course). But if you’re looking at something like cooking videos I’d expect the videos of people cooking cool th

I've come to the conclusion the past couple years is we need to get rid of non-profit status. There is too much room for grift and I'm afraid narrowing requirements would just make more loop holes and continue the process. I don&#

I just had that experience tonight. Uber projected delivery at 8:15. They couldn’t get a driver until 9. I had already tipped. But since that money should/is going to the delivery driver, that wouldn’t have been his fault. He was assig

I mean that was a pretty recent sale in the grand scheme of their company, so I’m not sure if that’s really fair. Regardless, if their designers are still making products that represent their principles I would think that’s okay. I personal

Heroin is already relatively cheap and accessible to addicts. The bigger issue right now is the latter part, helping people get off the drug and contamination, ex. fentanyl. I agree with everything else though.

Soundcloud used to have pretty great discoverability but people started, in my opinion, the repost feature and you ended up with the same song recommended over and over again. Their genre recommendations were also pretty tight. All of my ex

The last bit 100 times over. The pain of trying to play AIV and DIVX files 15 years ago was generally miserable. To me VLC saved me from codec hell on, iirc Windows ME, and I've never looked back. Downloading and installing codec packs
