It’s okay to be a luddite. Not everything needs to have an interface. Got into a spat with a manager at my apartment complex because I refused to install their app just to deal with a maintenance issue. He was like, “I don’t see the problem

My problem is I can’t stay interested for long. Yes, it’s possible that it’s a “me” problem. 90 minutes of kicking the ball back and forth across the pitch that feels too large for the task at hand, occasionally scoring, only to end up with

I was thinking about this a few weeks ago. Doppler shift would substantially change the wavelength, and frequency too. Perhaps the number of light years a wave has traveled moving in the same direction that Earth is moving in, would be less

I’m 40, on Social Security Disability Insurance and recently became eligible for Medicare. After years on Kaiser because of familiarity, when I became eligible for Medicare, I had to make a choice between original Medicare or Medicare Advan

Soon gas stations in the Bay Area will have to price Gasoline in quarts, because the gas pumps can only display up to $9.99.

Same problem at LAS, SLC, and DEN. Whenever I have an overnight layover in any of these airports I now pack NIOSH certified ear muffs, along with an eye mask. I look ridiculous, but I don’t care.

You’re correct, but this is unsustainable.

You’re sentiment is correct, but I also think that most Certified B Corporations arguably make the world a better place.

Additionally the U.S. Government requires that the states have balanced budgets, a requirement that is not stipulated for federal national spending. Unfunded spending obligations are not a problem, the federal government just raises the deb

Yep, ran my refrigerator, my router and my modem with an inverter on my Chevrolet Bolt EV after blackouts from a large windstorm in California knocked power out for a few days. The trick with Bolt EVs is that one must have the car on, becau

Every Apple Store has a Genius Room, which repairs everything Apple makes. This union sort of makes sense. It can get quite sophisticated as all stores are specialized and trained to make these repairs, including Geniuses getting trained on

The problem with most automakers (good example, General Motors) and their electronics divisions (i.e ACDelco) is their centuries of experience with getting sued, so everything innovative gets reworked to satisfy the demands of the legal dep

Ironically enough the Costco in San Francisco has more free parking than any other parking lot in the City, and is bigger than most all of the paid public garages also.

I like the idea! I also like Dingbats. And parking. Removing parking minimums is a noble idea, but one thing I have noticed is that the new “parking free” apartment buildings in San Francisco, such as the Tenderloin and SOMA, are having a h

Man seeing everyone's dialup nightmares I guess I should be satisfied by the quality of my local analog POTS Provider in the 1990s/2000s. I rarely connected at slower than advertised speeds. I would dial out and 99% of the time I

Resident of walkable “San Francisco” here. I would say the stress of completing day to day errands and activities here having recently moved to a “walkable neighborhood” has been detrimental to my mental health, since moving out of the car

I’ve done this to my Lumia 950 XL. Battery performance is not great, but it is usable. If one can locate a Mugen Power external battery pack for lumia 950xl, in good condition still, it would be a usable device for having a portable compute

1/4” is a much better “master” of capturing higher fidelity than my method, a compact cassette using two different cassette tape decks. I remember when I swapped it out and got a dual Pioneer compact cassette deck, which could also be

This is another sentiment I could not put into words. I agree 100%. Thank you.

Totally. I should have posted what I had written earlier, had a section on this in my comment, and even spent a half hour trying to explain how this doesn’t apply to all artists and genres. I wrote it about 10 times and I do agree… Identify

This is neat, I have wondered if anything of this nature existed, in the past, as a child of the 80s/90s attempting to master the art of the perfect mixtape… 30 minutes a side down to the second the tape runs out, would be a win. But f

SF is small, hilly, and consists of many square miles of single family homes; with cars being the predominant way around town. Less than 2000 feet from the geographical center of town, I live in a fully detached single family home with a hu

I am thinking of all the things that this could change, but all I can think about is my loud 8” ultraportable Chuwi Minibook, with a Intel Core m3-8100Y, and how much I hate that fan. Never mind that, this might be what’s needed to create a

had a good confident 20’s. My 30s are a mess. Going on 5.5 years here, I might as well say that I’m going to have to start over. If there is a right way to fail that is non-detrimental/non-consequential it was not my own. I hit every b

Got the ShakeAlert notification; but felt no quake. Nothing noticeable at all in San Francisco/Twin Peaks. It’s all bedrock up here.

Strongly disagree. Especially in tech, many of our success stories are from people who themselves are first generation Americans with parents that arrived here with literally nothing. American poet Emma Lazarus wrote “The New Colossus,” wh

Agree with your points but one thing to note, electric car world has indeed settled on a universal fast charging standard. Its also just as ubiquitous, thankfully. Every new EV from Rivian to GM to BMW uses the “Combined Charging System.” T
