- airstrike 3mo agoWSJ and Bloomberg offer "gift links" that paid users can share. The latter is only good for 7 days IIRC, however.

- incanus77 3mo agoOk, anyone care to gather at a coffee shop so that we can discuss the print version?
- ssl-3 3mo agoYou guys haven't been going to the meetings?
- apparent 3mo agoNo, my horse broke down so I've been stuck at the farm.
- davidwritesbugs 3mo agoYou have a /horse/?! Well laadeedaa
- apparent 3mo agoIt is funny how things that were completely ordinary 100 years ago are now considered luxury items. I suppose it's because they're used for leisure instead of as work horses/transportation, and because feeding/housing/mucking is now a burden for city/suburban dwellers.
- incanus77 3mo agoThe more time goes by, the more wondrous the recollection of my grandfather (1909-2006) telling me about growing up living across the street from a livery stable (i.e. horse commuter parking). Men would come into town to work at the steel mill and leave their horse for the day. He would say that after about 1922, cars were much more common, which in retrospect given the relative cost makes me think more that they crowded out horses, rather than the common mill worker upgraded from a horse to a car.
- ssl-3 3mo agoNo worries, comrade. I've gone ahead and moved this week's meeting, which happens to be tonight, to your place. We'll be there soon.
- Forgeties79 3mo agoThere are plenty of posts every day that don’t require you to get through a paywall - I personally just ignore them. I imagine there are only a handful of paywalled articles a week, and most of them end up having an archive link in the comments anyway
- imglorp 3mo agoSeems pretty easy to have a bot automatically try to create an archive link and comment it.
- nosioptar 3mo agoFor anyone who doesnt know: changing the x.com or twitter.com in a twitter link to xcancel.com usually works to view tweets without an account. (If I remember right, some video links dont always work with xcancel.)
