Thank you, that's so convenient!

This is great, and I wish it existed for Reddit too (or maybe it does already?). There’s so much good content that’s a bit hard to find now, plus it would be very interesting to see what people were talking about at a specific point in time

That last one is impressive, most humans probably wouldn’t pull it off. And just imagine when all the cars on the road are self-driving, probably none of these accidents would’ve happened.

Apparently he did get kicked eventually, but he just made a new account. Definitely sounds like Couchsurfing could have done better.

Yep same here, and I don’t have tinnitus. Sometimes I seem to get it temporarily though, for unclear reasons.

Does the board not have final control? Why have they agreed (in principle) to step down? I wish more of the reporting around this was specific about who has the power to do what.

Honest question, is there any evidence that Republican politicians are more effective at fighting crime? Or are you just saying that’s the public’s perception?

The article says that overall crime is actually down in LA this year.

Yes, Uber drivers are constantly canceling rides or just sitting in one spot until I’m forced to cancel myself and then dispute the charge. Thankfully Lyft still exists, I’ve switched to them and haven’t looked back. I can get to where I ne

I don’t have access to the full paper, but I would expect that they at least tried to control for sun exposure. In general, if you can think of an obvious confounding factor in about five seconds, then it’s a safe assumption that profession

I immediately thought this looked too absurd to be real, but I wonder if my lack of octopus knowledge helped me out here. I know octopi are pretty smart, but I don’t think of them as being too surprising in their capabilities.

How did you go about finding a negotiation consultant?

Let’s say you used your credit card to spend $1000 this month. The money is spent. At the end of the month it’s time to pay back the credit card company for the $1000 you spent, but you say: sorry, my debt limit is only $600, so you default

People absolutely might order fewer burgers or order fewer home deliveries if the price of those things were to rise. In some cases employers also have the option of automating tasks that are currently done by people.

I have the same problem. For me what helps is having a schedule, you do your thing at a certain time automatically every day, which seems to lower the activation energy. For one-off tasks it helps to set myself a reminder that I intend to d

Because of their reactions and also because we stayed together many years afterwards, not to mention I’m currently married to the most recent one!

I know we are all speaking from our own experience here, but I’ve never even heard of a woman being disgusted by or leaving a man because he cried. I’ve cried in front of every long term girlfriend I’ve ever had and it’s never been a nega

He may not have even worked at the car wash. That’s a pretty common scam among panhandlers.

Have you considered working for a company with goals that you find more meaningful? For me working in biotech has provided that, but you need to find what's right for you. Don't spend your life working on "clones of other sim

I tried it and it didn't even work on seriouseats, a very well known recipe site with (IMO) way too much text before the recipes.

Isn't long covid still a common issue for young kids? And doesn't vaccination reduce the chances of having long covid? Admittedly I haven't done a deep dive on the statistics, just a quick google search.

Meanwhile I was weirded out because it guessed my age exactly. I'm also 34 and I'd like to think I look a bit younger, but the algorithm doesn't agree.

My first reaction was that he's probably not in his right mind. I mean he also openly ran a DDOS service, which also doesn't seem like a rational act.

I'm glad ACA coverage is available but it can be pretty expensive. I paid somewhere in the range of $300-350 per month as a healthy young person. Some of my friends went without insurance for years because they simply couldn't aff

Looks like the official NHS policy is that you get a checkup every five years if aged 40 to 74. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/nhs-health-check/nhs-health-ch... I'm not a doctor but that doesn't seem ofte

Yeah, I can't say I've noticed any latency though, as long as I've got an ethernet connection set up. Also a good idea to turn on whatever your "game mode" is on the TV. I use one of those flat ethernet cables and r

I was the steamlink app on Apple TV and I haven't had any issues with garbage popping up and interrupting me, and I haven't made any tweaks to Windows. Just letting you know in case you'll find it useful.

I've been writing a book and I do something similar. After every writing session I show my partner what I've written. It gives me instant positive feedback and keeps me from spending too much time rereading/editing old chapte

Don't even bother with reddit on mobile; you really need an app. I've been through a lot of reddit apps and Boost is the best IMO. Everything just works, and useful gestures that I usually don't trigger by accident.
