Do you have a water drain in your bathroom floor? This is uncommon in the US, so a bath overflow quickly becomes a significant structural issue.

For a long time, no - it was completely unusually for my work that references biological information about migratory birds/other (innocuous) seasonal phenomena. About a month or two ago, they must have tightened the black list on bio t

For anyone trying start a small business, it’s frustrating to go through dozens to hundreds of potential company names before you can find a reasonable URL that isn’t being squatted for 4-5 figures. What positive outcome comes from squatter

Have you tried getting a good, unused name today? Anything remotely close to a dictionary word, if unused, is squatted with a $xx,000 price tag. Do registrars get a cut of these sales prices because it seems ridiculous to allow squatting.

I grew up in a small town in the upper Midwest and always had a strong pull toward the neighboring forests, streams and wetlands. There was a lot of wonder at that age, but I wasn’t prepared to really start contextualizing the depth/br

Let’s assume that all human labor goes through the same transition as agriculture: within a single human lifetime, 98% of all the human work is replaced by highly efficient machines and a small minority of highly productive people. If only

Increasingly, the answer is a “what”, not a “who”.

That’s interesting. I find it completely unusable for even simple reviews of existing project documentation that I wrote for an iOS app that isn’t even in public distribution.

You have a source to share for that framing of the tax spend?

I actually think it is not cheap enough. Start adding basic, standard features and the price doesn’t look as competitive against legacy manufacturers. Do those manufacturers offer an equivalently cheap EV today? Maybe, but probably not. Tho

Someone created that environment within which you thrived. What is preventing you from doing the same for some other small group, early in their careers?

Communication is not deterministic. Communication cannot take place without a selection of communication method, and there are inherently subjective and lossy parts to any communication attempt. Aligning my communication method to the speci

North-facing (in the US) tends to produce earlier due to the increased warmth with south facing producing mid to late season. Fruiting has been suppressed by me due to lack of rain. Best of luck! My maps aren’t in public release, but reach

I’m building a small map application that allows me/friends/family to explore data overlays about morel mushrooms phenology and habitat (ground temp/moisture/terrain/aspect/tree species/etc) in our area. T

Sky Rover is releasing binoculars that are very comparable to alpha tier Euro brands. I tested their Banner Cloud 6x32; the total build quality package isn’t quite there against my Swarovski 7x42 SLC, but optically the Sky Rover is excellen

I started hand carving and painting fishing lures a few years back, mostly from gathered or gleaned materials. It started as something to keep my hands busy in the Minnesota winter evenings, but there is actually quite a lot of depth to the

“ I've looked at three non-engineer vibe-coded businesses in the past month, and can tell that without taste, they're building a pretty mediocre product at best.” Are you doing this altruistically for friends - or as a consultant?

“potentially makes humans inter-planetary” What is the realistic, non-science fiction appeal of this?

Aren’t these kind of borderline fraudulent business practices the sort of thing state attorney generals are supposed to investigate?

Nobody takes “age-restricted account[s] for children” seriously. Parental controls and age-restrictions are almost universally half-baked, buggy fig leafs to displace negative attention from software and content providers.

You’re overthinking my recommendation. It’s a one-time comment to set expectations. Nothing more.

I have found there’s a reciprocal nature to it. If I keep trying here and there, the friend more often than not does try me back in turn. Many of us have kids/demanding jobs - so feeling free to just call when I’ve got ten minutes alon

My perspective is very simple: our homes are simply a lot more comfortable than they used to be. We have better heating/air conditioning, endless television/video games/entertainment, large refrigerators, lower density, etc a

by germinalphrase 6mo ago
I agree, but the social norm (for a lot of young people) is not to call spontaneously - at all, ever. Giving people a heads up helps, and then consistently following through, is a step that helps make it happen.

I would strongly encourage everyone to choose two or three friends and say “hey - I want to chat with you, but it’s hard to schedule calls. I’m just going to try calling you sometime when I have a few minutes free. If you can talk, great! I

"Banned" is only meaningful if there are consequences for defying the ban. My experience as a high school English teacher in a handful of schools across several states was that admin is, generally, unwilling to implement a hard ba
