...that use gasoline, and come from a dealership that is actively hostile. I'd rather take my chances on the Slate to replace my 13 year old car.

That strikes me as a forced correlation. Something along the lines of "some people are willing to pay more for British racing green, so let's charge $X for it".

I’d love to know how Mercer County, West Virginia was chosen. I grew up there.

There was, I believe, a hairdresser rounded up by ICE and sent to CECOT with images/video of his head getting shaved and audio of him crying for his mother. I think about him all the time, and wonder what happened to him because it&#x2

It is. Pretty much anyone who actually believes the “millions of illegal immigrants” line is detached from reality.

Bingo. Therein lies the difference between a “client” and a “customer”.

This is the best example of documentation I’ve seen posted here in a very long time.

Good one. I’m going to add that to my list of metaphors and analogies. Some people just don’t understand the experience, and this seems helpful.

Because corporate blogs are predominantly nothing but marketing fluff that dominates search results so thoroughly that they drown out any actual useful information.

Litter box cleaner: A kinect, a digital weight scale, a couple of cameras, a robot arm, a litter box, an internet connection and I would pay 25c for people using Amazon's Mechanical Turk to manipulate the robot arm and clean the litte

I need hearing aids. I even want hearing aids. After finally getting to see an audiologist I looked at the $5000US price offered by the in-house shop and could not stomach it (in part because they were not covered by my insurance). This w

Could you expand on this? I'm genuinely curious because I'm a former academic librarian, emphasis on 'former'.

I believe he did, but I'm not convinced it went as well as he'd hoped. I'd read something to that effect, but am unable to recall what and where.

Yep. 3 x 0.5mg a day for over ten years. Started my taper in 2018 and it took 3 1/2 years. In retrospect even that was probably too fast, because things started to go very wrong in 2020 and went catastrophically wrong at the end of 202

If you've been on these long-term, I cannot stress enough how slowly you need to taper. Edited to add that I wish I could contribute more to this conversation than lived experience, but saying that benzodiazepines "...are associ

Now this is something I would love to learn more about. I feel like I'm always tinkering with audio hardware, and if I can bring a Teensy into the picture, then even better.

Mitchell's translation of part 50, in particular, has long resonated with me: The Master gives himself up to whatever the moment brings. He knows that he is going to die, and he has nothing left to hold on to: no illusions in

I've pretty much given up trying to recycle plastic, and instead throw it in the trash. It's toxic to make (I think?), contaminates food and water when you heat it, and--apparently--can not be recycled safely or efficiently. I rea

Lol. I loved Calvin and Hobbes for many reasons, but one of them was definitely because I could relate. I need to read them again...

Whoa, this takes me back to 2nd grade when I did almost nothing but daydream during class. My daydreams were elaborate science fiction. I got in a lot of trouble for it, both with my parents and the (substitute) teacher. The teacher ended u

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that aluminum Macbook (sans pro). I was working in a multimedia lab at the time and we were pretty dependent on firewire for student projects and putting the Macs into targeted disk mode.

I am not a lawyer, just a Sysadmin; but with that said, the linked pdf of the complaint is absolutely fascinating to me. It's worth it (to me) for the list of resources it cites.
