I haven't actually paid for Apple TV in some time but I remember thinking it had the worst interface of any streamer I've tried. Impossible to know which show card you had selected.

That depends on your jurisdiction. In mine it is legal to rip DVDs or BDs I own to watch later and for backup. I own many of my favourites in this way.

I don't know about in the US, but I live in a fairly small city in Canada and we have DVD rentals. I go to the video store almost every week, and it was on the papers that a second one (which will also rent out VHS!) is opening. The Li

I'm not a parent but my niece and nephew (different parents) both go to daycare. My sister knew many of the parents at her son's daycare already, they live in the same neighbourhood. My nephew knew the children of those parents to

> Let's set the framing correctly because I think we're starting off on the wrong foot. The US is not in a desperate need of any product from Canada. Nice to have and super important? Yea. Desperate? No. Not by any stretch of t

Personally, I like the asset diversification that investing 40% of my income allows. Buying a house at this point in my life would mean a very significant portion of my net worth would be concentrated in one asset, and I'd have less ca

he is richer than any of us, but he doesn't strike me as someone who is even remotely content. Those two things are not the same thing.

Cockroaches make me uncomfortable, but I would not say I fear them. As a kid I was the designated person in the family to deal with all manner of bugs and just whatever. Except for whatever reason, I am absolutely terrified of moths and but

this is bizarre. I lived in my last apartment for almost 9 years and it was great for the first 7.5 of those. Things did start going downhill when it went from being owned by a local, private family business to a publicly traded American co

I live in Canada (many dark months) and am a woman who knows many women and I've never known anyone to wear a vest with a light on them. I do own a hat with a light that I use when I'm walking to the gym in the dark so that driver

maybe we just work at very different companies but I've never interacted with HR beyond onboarding and asking questions about benefits. I can't say I felt dehumanized by either of those things.

I'm 39 and the post resonates with me too. I think it's more a temperamental or values thing than an age one, but I might be wrong.

They were polled, on election day. Most Americans want this, or didn't care enough to stop it. Potato, potahto.

I've been to 45 countries and agree with the person you're talking to.

I'm Canadian and I can tell you this was always part of Project 2025, which was extremely obviously the plan all along. So I don't know. Assuming the American voter can read and and access to the internet, it's kind of pathet

This is an interesting comment for me because if someone said that to me I'd lose all respect for them I think.

imagine using that rocket ship analogy in a world where OceanGate happened. You don't get on a moving ship without asking questions.

Google has been going downhill for a decade now. I've been paying for Kagi for like four years. I like it but also resent that it's something I pay for now when I remember how good Google was 20 years ago.

you can really tell the people building these tools spend a lot of time alone. I work from a home office 90% of the time and I wouldn't want this to be my workflow. I don't want to talk to my computer, I want to listen to music wh

I learned that either my phone's gyroscope is broken or my browser obfuscates it. Still interesting, even if not surprising.

I too am surprised anyone uses Chrome, but I will admit to feeling similarly surprised by how many people use Brave. The company seems so sketchy to me, and I wonder why people who presumably care about web standards are so willing to use C

I consider myself upper middle class and I ride the bus. I'd rather ride my bike but sometimes I ride the bus.
