Big believer in this tool. It brings pride and even further diligence to the conscientious reader. And in the case of the slacker, a silent knowing without shaming them, which rarely helps performance. Instead, you can manage the situation

This article and others are describing tech workers are leaving their jobs. Or being let go. I'm wondering what people are doing who may be leaving tech in general. Artistic pursuits, new business, or other projects? If retirement,

And I can't disagree with either, especially the riff raff usage, but the term "takeover" was the one intended to play the important role in the sentence. And it wasn't for the unhoused - but the dealers and traffickers

Seattle used to have a top notch zine scene - entire sections of stores (music, magazine, comic, game) would have hundreds of local and national zines. Recently, Seattle's been trying to make a comeback downtown. We lost gobs of tenan

You'd be right. Flash backs of course to BBS homepage / door designs. Getting the -=[[UNIX]=- to look just right. Or the layers of ///FILES\\\ to flash. The graffiti style was beyond me, but the tables and sketc

Almost word for word what I was thinking! The UI doesn't really get in the way but it feels like it isn't quite designed for people. And the content is excellent. I'm oddly tickled by the uniqueness of it. As I think it wo

Have to say, the headline alone had me reaching for the pointy hat. Wonder if it was the statistical anomalie or the content that got the parent comment to post?

I bet you're right. First time using a chain clamp, and it was brandnew. Broke on the third pull. Might have to watch a video - maybe I used it wrong? Seemed pretty straight forward and I wanted something that would span several fi

Absolutely tried that. The tin gave up faster than Khalid at Zanzibar. It looked like Popeye used his pipe on it. It was a cheap 1384, so single wall and cardboard were the only resistance. Since posting, I got it running, PTO and deck l

The signs sure seem to be indicating a Gen Z rollback to the analog and middle tech. Newspapers, books, cursive clubs, letter writing (pen pals), cassettes and albums, printed photographs, even carb/gas based auto hacking. These are

Anyone see a link to the audio / video, or better transcription? The text seems to have been transcribed and the typos / mistakes are splitting the intended meanings of things. Some of which seem to be causing misunderstandings

To some degree and depending on the brew style, mead is also a very very long ager. Plenty of stories of finding vessels in archaeological digs - still ready for a sip. I still have some bottles from my first batches of mead back in the 9

I once saw a man with a notebook and pencil drawing these kinds of diagrams, at the time I saw them as graph theory. I wasn't in an extrovert moment and missed my chance to ask. He seemed to be working recreationally on them. I&#x27

Big ups on that! Not to mention your local library's collection of DVDs. Or, their inter-library loan system for the ultra weird and rare. One note on Kanopy - they use a ticket system (10-15 tickets per library customer). So if you
