There are so many easily addressable fallacies in this that I am not sure if I need to bother. > If someones sole and only option was to work for Uber: Is Uber the one at fault here? Nobody really cares who’s fault it is. Of course Uber

The fallacy is the idea that people desperate for money choose gig work out of “free will”. They accept the terms dictated to them due to lack of options. True that they could choose to lose their homes and vehicles and live in a tent by th

Most of the similar scams I've seen don't involve entering and showing the property, or being even anywhere near it. A common style is to post a duplicated listing on Craigslist (it may be a house currently on the market, but ofte

I had problems with practically every form that had an address entry when I had an address that was “State Road <number>”. Most validators interpret that as a road called State Road and reject the number. This also caused problems whe

In Denver, it seems the people doing this typically just steal a car.

Most job applications for positions with any sort of physical aspect (grocery, hardware stores, maintenance) ask whether the applicant can lift 50 lbs (23 kg) over their head.

How long would it take to view 2 billion results at 20 per page? I’m thinking somewhere between 100 and 200 years.

It is similar, except it doesn’t require anything special in the HTML. It scrolls to an occurrence of the specified sequence of text.

The concept is quite similar to the NSFW filter found on Google and other image searches for many years. Like the “mature” search settings, this filter is active by default but simple to disable.

I'm still perplexed at how casinos are all over the US now. Growing up in the 80s, the story was 'gambling is bad and thus illegal everywhere, except horse tracks and for some reason Nevada'. Then of course casinos on reserva

As a kid I was fascinated by the extraction of iron from sand using a magnet. I’d hang out in sandboxes on playgrounds and collect it. I figured out you could wrap the magnet in a plastic bag for easy removal of iron filings. Last I recall

The most frequent problems I’ve had with cars in the last 20 years have been engine cooling systems and battery charging.

In season, I usually go to one of the roasters set up in a parking lot. They’re all over Albuquerque and most of NM but also Denver and Pueblo and probably other cities in the southwest. There are several stands on Federal in Denver, for in

Personally I'd go to Viola's. But in general, you're not going to have to look far for a good burrito with green chile in NM.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily 'asshole'. I've learned this lesson from my own behavior and watching people in my family. Sometimes the failure mode is that they just have no idea what you're talking about and

I destroyed an iPhone 6 Plus screen one time reassembling it. Apparently I switched a 1.7 mm screw with a 1.3 mm, and when I popped it back together then entire screen (which wasn’t working for touch anyway) shattered.

I'm playing Fallout 76 right now, ha. It was not great at launch to many people, but they significantly improved it since then, which wasn't a possibility in 1983.

I have been suspended from Twitter for very silly things that don’t match the rule they claim I violated - very neutral statements that they claimed were “wishing harm” or something. It makes me appreciate the actual human moderation of HN.

Fiber and protein do slow down carb absorption, but for me fat content makes the biggest difference.

I have type 1 diabetes (actually LADA) so I keep a very careful eye on my glucose. Definitely the foods that make it rise the fastest are starchy vegetables like potatoes and grains. Fat plays a major role in absorption - a potato by itself

I see, sounds reasonable. I definitely learned a lot about how my body responds to different foods and other reasons glucose can rise (besides food, glucose also rises in response to metabolic activity). Which CGM are you using? I have a De

Rubbing your eye after handling peppers is a definitely a problem - I’ve had that issue when peeling roasted green chile. Going to the bathroom can be risky, too. I had a vivid experience with that after chopping up a couple jalapeños at Ta

I’ve had this from peeling roasted green chiles. My hands felt chill-hot and tingly for 2 days. It seems like abrasion cleans it off better than solvents or soap.

Another thing to watch out for is opening the lid to a pot of stewing chiles. I had a friend that made sauce like this often and when she’d open the lid, it was like chemical warfare.

I get a choice of Chrome, Google app (which isn’t even installed) and Safari. I mainly use Firefox, though, and that isn’t an option.

Why do you feel you need to change your food intake, and how do you interpret your CGM results? If you don't have a form of diabetes it doesn't really make a difference. Your glucose will go back down to 85 fairly soon.

I feel that patients are qualified to comment on medical standards of care, also. I am sure that you’re a good doctor, but to answer your question, yes, there are many doctors who operate negligently, to some extent. I had a long experience

I would imagine that more details were available, but I’m recounting some thing that happened to someone else 30 years ago when I was a teenager. So I’m not really clear on the precise details. All I know is that they said she was low on ir
