Went to the gym 3 times a week, cycled 25k every weekday, ran on the weekends. Now I can only walk, after covid, which I got in early March. I'm hoping to try jogging again at some stage, after CT scans on my lungs, but I think it&#x27

What's the point in producing trash if your only reason is to have enough money to pay for the trash?

Tech is the menial task now. We are wasting time looking at our smart watches!

Have smart watches really improved daily life for the masses? I really don't think they have. We need real technology that saves labour, like washing machines, dishwashers, sewage processing, electricity grids. I think satellites can p

Did the first company complain about you to Amazon, who then blacklist you for not playing ball?

I went to purchase a replacement iphone audio jack adapter today and I felt totally unable to determine the best option. One vendor's adapter appeared about 6times in the first page of results and one of their reviews warned of fake re

If you retrieve the data slowly it's cheap. It's expensive if say you are a retailer who needs their database restored asap. I use a Linux perl client!

I've used glacier. For stuff you don't need to restore in a rush, it's cheap. I did however have a recent health scare and it made me wonder how my non tech wife could possibly have restored the files as the interfaces are al

Whenever post-covid comes, if you WFH you can meet a local friend for lunch. Don't conflate covid-WFH and non-covid-WFH as a reason to dislike general WFH.

This is more momentum towards decentralization. Fantastic. Little bit discouraged to see one comment stating 2mb/s for Canada, I wonder why it would be slower than the USA? Perhaps there is less overhead coverage there density wise? I

Can't wait for a sleepover, which implies several people, in a closed room. Just them, me and covid. What a great idea.

Airbnb is looking for cheap publicity and buzzfeed is looking for an easy article.

This seems odd. Most people don't understand bikes, although they are very simple. You'd think they'd want to keep you on side as someone who could refer others.

Totally correct, the other person cannot have read it.

No, it explicitly states that all the problems are pre covid and even pre Trump.

They can do it indirectly by breaking them up.
