As I understand it, he wasn’t asked to be in the movie but rather he made it a condition of filming in his hotel that he be given a cameo.

Also try wearing merino wool socks. It seems counterintuitive to put wool on your sweaty feet, but they're quite comfortable and they help you avoid that "clammy feet" feeling when you are sweating in cotton socks. They also

Speaking from personal experience, people react to different SSRIs differently. I took a popular one that had significant side effects without a whole lot of benefit, and so I stopped it and didn't try anything else for 10 years. Then

Nobody should take this as medical advice, but from my own experience, nothing has made a bigger difference in my sleep quality than supplementing with magnesium glycinate. I didn't even start taking it for that purpose - I was taking

I also loved magical thinking. Even though I haven’t experienced anything close to losing a spouse, it was a wonderful read.

As I understand it, it's really only abusable by people who don't have ADHD. It's a stimulant, similar to cocaine in that way. In people with ADHD, it's calming.

I used VSS in the 90s as well, it was a nightmare when working in a team. As I recall, Microsoft themselves did not use VSS internally, at least not for the majority of things.

MS Word is not aiming to support Markdown.

I don’t want Notes to become a Markdown editor. I think that would be confusing for the majority of users. What I would like is for it to understand Markdown syntax and just convert it to the right thing. If I type “# My Note”, it should

I never used Pocket but was a long time user of Instapaper before moving to Readwise Reader. My experience has been that many links, other than the most recent ones, are dead.

I wonder if this is why Fusion 360 is so slow to start. It's by far the slowest app on my relatively modern M1 MacBook Pro.

I’d never heard of Schiele until yesterday when I was reading about an actor on a show I was watching. I’m not really an art buff but his work is quite interesting (if a bit disturbing at times).

He bankrupted a casino. I’m not sure how you even manage to do that.

He's fantastic. I still suck at drywall work, but I suck way less after watching a bunch of his videos.

> The collection’s 75 undeveloped rolls of Kodachrome film likely amount to about 2,700 photos I wonder how they’re planning on developing that film, since the chemicals to develop Kodachrome haven’t been available since 2010.

I am in no way a “car guy” but I’ve always thought that the early to mid 1980s BMWs were beautiful. I don’t have the kind of budget (or garage space) to own a car that isn’t a daily driver, but if I did I think I’d look for a 1980s 3 or 5 s

My perception is that many on the right bought into conspiracies about Covid and the Covid vaccines. That led to them consuming more general antivax content, as well as an overall greater distrust of science and medicine in general, who wer

I think what you mean to say is that you like what doge has claimed to have found so far. Unfortunately it doesn’t hold up to even the slightest scrutiny.

The word evil is a bit overused, but in the case of Stephen Miller it fits like a glove. I’ve said since the beginning that that saving grace (if there is one) of Trump’s first term was that he was disorganized, and he surrounded himself wi

It isn’t really that they’re better as filaments, it’s just that the matte nature makes them less reflective and therefore you don’t see the layer lines as much.

In my experience matte filaments hide the layer lines much better. Between that and the overall quality of recent printers like the Bambu or the Prusa Mk4, I don’t find the need to do any post processing.
