I won’t argue with the fact that these systems are designed to defeat your ability to control your habits. But it is possible, without having to install tech to defeat these systems for you. I think, …

PSA: In case you don't realize, this video has commentary. But it's crazy low, and you have to turn your volume way up to hear it. I thought it was just another YouTube video with no audio.…

The web is also far worse than it used to be. Content was so much better 15-20 years ago, when Google’s tooling was also better. 99% of content creators create content for a single reason: to monetize…

Yeah, definitely. I have a Kia EV6, and just saying that if the same “patch” is offered for it, I won’t think twice about paying $65 for it. I’d also not be super happy they didn’t cover it, but I saw…

Agree the title is a bit misleading, but addressing what sounds like an exploit still feels like a patch of sorts. But yeah, “patch” usually implies software vs. hardware. Either way, agree with other…

I mean, it’s also cut vertically — except for the adjacent edges (true for both horizontal and vertical, since it’s a sphere).

Right, but horizontal is limited to two, best I can tell. No?

Why limit it to just two horizontal cuts? I’ve always just made equal horizontal and vertical cuts, then slice the onion crosswise. This results in pretty much no large pieces, and only some smaller p…

If an athlete’s money comes primarily from their fame and/or ticket sales from spectators, to me that’s the definition of an entertainer.

What you're talking about is entertainers. Athletes that make that kind of money are entertaining crowds. So the same could be said for famous actors, musicians, etc. But athletes that aren'…

I’ve dabbled with todo lists in the past, and keep coming back to — doing nothing. At least with todo list apps specifically. I have a pretty bad memory, so I’m the target audience for todo lists. But…

Because Excel and Sheets exist, most businesses don’t bother with custom software for things that basic spreadsheets can handle, which is a lot. Sure, more complex things can be handled by custom soft…

I think the parent’s point was that “them” is referring to a group that is “other than normal”, and that that should raise caution. (Not agreeing or disagreeing, simply trying to infer the meaning.)

> I wish the same focus was given to weight loss, smoking, etc. No one really cares about living an extra 10 years from 70 to 80 if it means giving up 40+ yesrs of enjoying bad habits. It’s the s…

I don’t think I could spend much more time on the sofa before I started cycling. :)

Anecdotal counterpoint: I have been quite sedentary for several years, since going fully remote. I had seasons where I would gain wait and lose weight, and my level of activity remained unchanged. A f…

Anecdotally, I own a Kia EV6, and had to get new tires within two years, under 20k miles. I leave it in eco mode, so acceleration is nerfed, too. We’ll see how long the new set of Michelin Defenders l…

No, it’s not a joke. EVs are heavier vehicles, and it’s common for EV owners to have to change tires much more frequently. https://www.cars.com/articles/do-evs-wear-through-tires-…

Dropping at the root since some threads are talking about radon and whether it’s based on region. This is the EPA map for radon risks (zones) in the US: https://www.epa.gov/system/…

Maybe I’m not the crowd this article is referring to, but for the most part, I wishlist games I’m interested in, then buy them on sale. As a result, I’ve played most of the games in my library. Having…

Oooh… a factory automation Zachtronics game?? Take my money.

I need to try some of their other ones. I’ve only played Opus Magnum, which I loved. But being the completionist that I am, I stopped playing it once I got to a level I wasn’t able to perfectly optimi…

Congrats, Anthony and Ben! Super excited for you both! (And still miss you at Kaggle!) :-)
