Pre-2015 Tacoma. Doesn't even have climate control. Has the Entune touchscreen stereo, but you can ignore that if you don't listen to music. Everything else is knobs and buttons. But also, k…

Many people say this of those who have borderline personality disorder. BPD is the top result when you google "most painful mental illness," and some therapists either refuse to treat or lim…

In what industry? In aerospace we used imperial for everything, including psi for pressure. NAS fasteners I think are all specified in imperial.

The SI unit is Pascal. hPa is frequently used in weather reports in the US.

I love using modern teflon non-stick. It's so much easier to clean and handle than cast iron. Sure, it doesn't last as long, but who cares if I have to buy another one for $20 in 3 years? (T…

Can't help but think this is a planted puff piece while Intel is being hammered by Apple.

Most YIMBYs are actually NIMBYs who concern-troll every development project into oblivion. Even Robert Reich [0]. What the video (very good IMO) lacks is an examination that this is a liberal bastion.…

Interedasting. I just tried Carmax, Vroom, and KBB. Carmax gave $16k (so about what I originally paid), Vroom gave $12k about the same as Carvana. KBB said it was worth $17k.

Carvana. Do you think it'd be much different if I tried listing it on Craigslist?

I just know that when Uber was charging $60 for a ride to the airport (a couple years ago it was half that), my sister found a way to take transit for $3. This was in Seattle.

My truck, a 2015 Tacoma, is worth $4k less than what I bought it for 3 years ago. So totally normal depreciation in my case.

Sigh: https://youtu.be/iR1jzExZ9T0 The only difference with freedom of speech is that in the US, your allegiance is to corporations not the government. Ask yourself this: would you ra…

lol SpaceX, or anyone for that matter, didn't learn shit from Armadillo. AA was bunch of hacks doing garage projects, they were never close to commercializing anything and were more like Mythbust…

If you are black in the US, expect the much more humane execution in the street in broad daylight. "The US has its problems, but..." The US is only problems. China is actually moving forward…

US could be really great in theory, like you say. China is good in practice. In the US, we value being able to insult leaders as part of "freedom of speech." In China, they accept a paternal…

If you are an employee of a corporation you live under totalitarianism.

All nostalgia is just a longing for youth.

May the fates hold off the coming of the storm.

Rents dropped in most big cities in the US because office workers were able to work remotely and started moving to cheaper areas. I don't know why everyone forgot this, it was the prevailing narr…

Well, rents in big cities have dropped significantly as remote work has taken over: https://zumpermedia.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/wp-content/uploads... . Then again, rents in se…

Some charts for that table would be so awesome.

Yeah, it's horribly inefficient to do this (flapping wings) at larger sizes. Birds, bats, insects actually evolved to flap less as they get larger: https://www.researchgate.net/fi…

Using footnotes to add random tangents, rather than clarifications or directly related context, seems noisy. Why do writers in tech do this? I've never seen footnotes used like this.
