That's why I got my kids $1 inflatable globes. You can see the poles just fine.

The globe here is, in my opinion, the best such visualization because I've personally travelled the distances depicted. https://www.reddit.com/r/educationalgifs/comments/qq5cw7/coo...

Whoa! You're not kidding. Though the boss does have a hit point meter :)

Red Cross lets me give blood now. I had the total of more than six months in UK between 199x and 199y deferral for a long time. We're supposed to actually be experiencing symptoms by now.

First, I agree with your comment. But since you specifically bring up omeprazole: I backed off of pantoprazole by getting a prescription for half-dose pills (since they're time released, you can't just cut them in half), then decr

West Kennet Longbarrow's also appropriately spooky. I've been there with people too scared to stay inside.

Fastmail is fast enough and has rich enough keyboard shortcuts that I stopped using mutt for it. It's very good.

Yes. Someone who masters circular breathing in a weekend should start playing a wind instrument.

Is the idea that you can stick with tmux splitting-resizing keys instead of vim ones?

I ride mine 2 miles a day, sometimes 3 based on a variable commute. Mine doesn't have gears or a spedometer so I can only say I am comfortable at the fastest speed I can pedal -- but it would feel unstable to go much faster, say, on a

Exactly this. Even though I don't use git-bug anymore, I'm still a sponsor. I desperately want an issue-tracker-in-.git to become a standard. Issues and CI are the only lock-in. The latter is legitimate because you're using s

There are Strida's with gears. It's definitely weird to ride -- I would ride it on a commute of more than a few miles. It's less stable than a real bike, but not completely unstable. e.g. I can fall of curbs but can't ju

I grew up being told the two biggest names were Morris and Diana Dors. I have to agree with other threads that I don't believe most of his conjectures, but they're great for stimulating thought.

A great webhost, too. You can log in and edit html/index.html directly or scp stuff up.

They didn't mention my favorite part, the name. "Prolefeed" I've been waiting for someone to pick up the word so people would get more self-conscious about consuming it.

For instance, I installed Xubuntu on an ancient laptop (reluctantly ensured it was 64-bit, but that's it) recently and everything's fine. I wasn't told by the installer to watch out or have apt choke or anything.

This is the first time it occurred to me Xubuntu and Kubuntu might be somehow unofficial. I'm not plugged into the Ubuntu community, so figured the flavors were offered by Canonical. Why is the server version so supposedly demanding if

Meet developers where they are: have multiple remotes at multiple forges and mailing lists. Don't keep all your eggs in one basket.

This happened to me. I tried to be a good boy and wrote to the company asking for zipper parts to fix it and they told me to buy another jacket. So I looked for companies that advertise repairability and found Patagonia made the most believ
