I had that happen once in my three years in the fleet and they didn’t open them for us (long time ago). We did have kegs & BBQ on the pier in GITMO once, too (“pigs on the pier”). I was in when they were just starting a/the tobacco

Ah, Unisys. I used to buy/sell refurbished laptops and stumbled upon a couple thousand Unisys laptops, one time. Pentium 133’s & 166’s. I wasn’t very familiar with them, but luckily they were all in “like new” condition when I got

Most interesting part of this post (to me) is to see how far the perceived importance of net neutrality has fallen on HN. 96 points in 5 hours as of this comment. Old posts: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=net+neutrality

I assume you know the answer to your questions is: of course they do. However, I’m in the same boat as you. The joke’s on us, I guess.

I know I said I was done, but, let me get this straight. If I sign up for a website that was created for people to sign up to save links, and in doing so it requires you to submit a URL and a title for the link - and I use the page title as

[edit] @wizzwizz4 Is it crass to edit your comment multiple times (with no declaration) to address a reply to your comment? Lol. Thats how the site works. It asks you for a URL and a title for the link. It’s my page, my account, so I linked

2 birds. Seriously though. Adding links to a website for sharing links is now spam? Ok.

I know my project is unworthy of upvotes from HN, but I’ve been working (hard) on a simple real estate site https://davegooden.com . No big deal. No real tech. Just lots of work and lots of potential upside.

I absolutely love this idea. Most high-level sales people rely on role play partners but that requires a pretty a big commitment. This would make a great product, imo. Also (tip): Study, memorize and internalize a sales script for your prod

I use instagram to look at vintage motorcycles and buy vintage motorcycle parts. Thats all. I follow motorcycle accounts only. But when I hit the search icon - the splash screen shows me, almost exclusively, 1/2 naked women.

HN buried this story. Should be #1 on homepage. That’s bullshit and puts HN in the scammy category as well, IMO.

100%. My first business was buying/refurbishing/selling used laptops. I bought/sold tens of thousands. Toshiba was by far the best. IBM was 2nd. Now they’re both gone.

By the time I had kids, the dial interface was long gone...but if I could teach my kids to push 1,0,0, start, I'd bet I could teach them what 1:00 looked like on the dial pretty quickly.

I remember when microwaves had one dial and no buttons, no digital touchscreens. You set the dial to the desired cook time in minutes/seconds, and it automatically started (as long as the door was closed). Same with an oven. Turn the d

This isn't a very popular opinion, but I agree. I feel that people should be able to become donors in exchange for some sort of payment to heirs (kind of like life insurance). The doctors and hospitals are making money from life saving
