Don’t ignore the older wisdom traditions on this question, too. There won’t be a jolting answer in this thread, you may have to work over time for breakthroughs.

I care especially about a wine that has some form and doesn’t leave me with a headache the next day.

I was at a retreat once and we had a dream session. There was little talk about what dreams are, how they function, etc.., but we shared our dreams in the group because the thing we would convey would be something that only we could convey.

My teenage son asked me the other day what "grunge" and "goth" were. I was then trying to explain "subculture" and "counterculture", and it was surprisingly difficult to explain.. or convey, especiall

Yeah, the screen looks the same, I think the Utah dairy had a newer model. They also mentioned that there were only 3 dairy farms in the state with any kind of automated milking machines.

I visited a dairy in Utah a couple of summers ago. 130 cows, 3 employees. It's a fully automated facility, using equipment from Germany. The cows enter a stall, the machine milks them, gives them a treat, they move on. Employees get a

I disabled my Twitter account tonight. I’m pretty sure my HN account will be next. I’m not going to solve this, but I won’t drown in it either.

Personally, I don’t mind an ad or two. It’s not ads, per se, that have me using an ad blocker... it’s the “bad UI impact of tons of ads and pop-ups” that keep me in ad block mode. When a site wants me to turn off the ad blocker and it doesn

It’s VWs own argument. The Beetle was “1”. The Golf was “2”. The ID.3 is their third generation people car.

I agree and disagree, and disagree because in the world we live in, we read more words than ever, but reading books -- things that people craft over time, sometimes with facts and references, and that are stable enough elements in the world

I once owned 1% of a company that was 22 minutes away from its IPO and then it got pulled. Then we merged with a Big Brand Name company and there were years and years of lawsuits. Oh, the memories...

The Good Mythical Morning show often pits store brands against the name brand originals.. results vary a lot, but Kroger, for instance, tends to rank higher (for them) then Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s brand knock-offs.

Yeah, I just sit it out now. Having a teenager who’s culturally as old as me keeps me hermetically sealed in my vault.

I don't mind that one, but "rockstar" in job descriptions drives me batty. As do "send it" and "stan". So, it's across all cultural borders these days.

Your position is that everyone should have generators instead of having infrastructure that doesn't require everyone to have generators? Some people have generators no matter what, but it seems a stretch to think you can't rely on

They've been sending out lots of messages about this... do you not actually use Play music that much?

That's true. And I unsubscribe from a lot. And I filter the rest. But I scan and review and like just enough content to stay engaged. But I'm moving closer and closer to unsubscribing from all of them.

I spend my day on a Macbook Air and a MS Surface, and a Dell. The Dell keyboard is squishy and horrible to type on. I ordered a Logitech mechanical keyboard but it came broken, so I returned it.. and didn't get a chance to try it out.

You have to view and manage and then delete them. 99% of my inboxes are emails from non-humans. I'm ready to stream them like RSS or Twitter.. and catch the ones I care about.

It may undercut itself from the get go, and that may be a common take down the road, but as a weapon, it’s very effective in certain times and certain places against certain people, now.

Previous to this the Google apps got frequent updates. It’s documented out there. Nothing since Dec 8 is probably as notable for devs working on features (but not this effort) as it is to us wondering when the apps are going to be updated.

Bookstores will work around this confusion by placing a card saying "[Author] can be found in Sci-Fi" appropriately.. but that takes more care and feeding and is more typical in an indie shop.

Soundcloud used to be an awesome source for this kind of thing, but their product development has made it harder and harder to find CC tracks by genre. Recently found and used a track that was free to use, but they would demonetize the trac

I’ve been looking for writing on grumpiness, which is slightly different than anger. There’s very little out there specifically on grumpiness, though much writing on mood, mindfulness and awareness can be applied.

Yup, in absolute terms that's a concern. But if/when we ever have right to repair laws that apply to Dell & Apple, based on their track records, I'd probably still invest my future computing dollars in the one that has th

Last fall I took my early era MacBook Air to Apple and ordered a battery replacement for $99. It came back with a new motherboard too. Essentially a new machine, and it took two interactions: drop-off and pick up. Last fall I bought two Del
