Something like this isn't very practical for me. I just pull out my phone and dictate or type when I need to take notes. If I can't pull out my phone, I probably have gloves on or am in a loud environment. A gesture on the watch

Apple hates when you do this but they can't stop you: I still have one of the original Intel Core Duo Mac Minis from 2006. I upgraded the HDD at one point and also installed Windows. I use it to run a CNC mill.

I've been considering getting a few hens for a while. The cost of setup, feed and the work involved for "free eggs" are quite a bit. However, it's more worth the cost now than it's ever been, especially considering

This ice has provenance. Makes sense since when it comes to fancy wines and spirits that's what you're paying for after a certain point.

It's been a long time coming with Elon Musk, and he has been criticized A LOT on Hacker News. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27796948 (2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33622767 (2022)

Conversely, it's remarkable to me that people still admire Elon Musk. It's perfectly acceptable to acknowledge his past accomplishment while accepting now that he appears to be suffering from drug abuse related and mental health

We have a publicly owned electricity utility. Electricity is cheap and it's and it's a selling point for homes within their service area. The other utility is bad, especially when it comes to billing. People hate it and there ha

Musk has shown he has a real lack of business acumen about most things. He ran Twitter into the ground and is doing the same with Tesla. I have no interest in what he has to say. That of course is leaving aside everything else going on.

I lost almost all respect for Elon Musk when he started calling a rescue diver "pedo guy". Up until this point, I was enthusiastic about his company's accomplishments in aerospace and electric vehicles. Now I would love to s

I ran a YouTube channel seriously for a couple of years. Chasing the whims of the algorithm contributed to burnout and now I only release one or two videos a year. My reason for starting a channel was to have a discussion around some of th

A number of years ago I was at a friend's house and he wanted to play Uno but he couldn't be cause his dog got into the deck and many of the cards were damaged. I noticed he had a couple of packs of playing cards on his coffee tab

I am having some friends over next week for dinner and we'll probably play some games afterwards. There are a ton of other games listed on the site and I am sure there are some fun ones here!

These "doctors" should be barred from practicing medicine. I am not a lawyer, but it would seem that this practice also borders on criminal negligence.

I second Alibre, I am using the pro version. I bought it in 2012, and I can't remember if I've paid for upgrades to keep it current since then. I used it to design an injection mold and I am still using it for 3d printing projects

I had a special notebook I used to take to the Monday sales meetings at my previous jobs job. A good chunk of the meeting was often taken up with reviewing department/sales updates which were by and large the same as the previous week.

Since you can't find another vendor, it might be time to bring on software consulting practice that specializes in this area or at least doing something similar. If you can find a firm that is capable of doing the work, then you can fi

I'd honestly settle for building iOS apps with Windows.

As a paraglider pilot (unpowered), I will say that the technical aspects of flying the aircraft are only a small part of what's involved in a flight - as you point out. It's a bad idea to get pilots in the air with less training.

It would be great if there were pin colors for the different types of fatalities (pedestrian, cyclist, motorcyclists, etc)

I worked for a manufacturing company that rolled out 5S. It seemed to make a lot of sense on the shop floor, but the executives had us doing the same thing the same way in engineering. All the math, software, and mechanical folks had to &q

We have the same issue in my city with respect to areas lacking trees. The trees in the more affluent areas tend to be better maintained by property owners, and replacement trees are planted when trees are lost in ice and wind storms. The c

It's not just women that are unpleasant, it's men too. The swiping economy has really done a lot of damage to the dating economy. The mutual disrespect flows both ways. The apps promote bad behavior by the very nature of their

I'd say I got the same amount of work done in office as out of office. Usually I worked a slightly longer day if I worked from home though.

In 2008 or so I worked for a consulting company where most of the workers were remote. Eventually, they opened up an office where I lived. We were encouraged (required?) to come into the office a few days a week. We free parking, table ten

What do musicians actually want? For me the exploration and creation of melodies and rhythms is the fun part and this takes it away from me a bit. I am not opposed to using AI in my music - I've been using Eleven Labs to create vocal

Very true, we did miss out. The Amgia folks were sure to let us know about it any time we went to a BBS meet too! I did all my BBSing on a DOS PC. There was cool "newschool" ASCII and ANSI art designed for PCs too. At the time

I've always had this crazy idea that we could make high school useful again. Run year round and provide more opportunities for swapping in college-level course work or actual college or trade school courses. This kind of opportunity wo
