Don't trust the government, and THIS administration especially, with my account and routing numbers.

YES, another rickdate enthusiast! I even made a little demo page to help calculate for me: https://lastres0rt.github.io/rick-date/

Exams performed by someone else? About once a year. A self-exam once a month is one of those "good hygiene" things, though, and might be a decent idea to promote right now while people are getting cagey.

The best example is what happened when Alex Jones found himself deplatformed -- although I think the simplest answer there is "too little too late".

I'm sure the ability to download AAA titles helped this time.

The kicker is that in order to be transferred to the non-covid hospitals, you still had to be TESTED for covid and come up negative. THAT'S why these hospitals were all empty in the first place. It all comes back to what a shitshow tes

Considering how Google and Apple are basically mandating WFH for the rest of this year, these lockdowns aren't for them; they're for all the other people who need a way to take care of themselves without giving their bosses the fi

3) We were wrong about the kinds of people who were going to catch this (e.g. poor folks, people of color, people in nursing homes, prisoners, people who work jobs they can't freely leave in meatpacking plants), who while they'll

Stop pretending this is just "the flu" either. When we talk about flu stats: most people have some immunity to the flu thanks to flu shots (even if they haven't gotten one for this past year) and general herd immunity, which

I'm an illustrator, and "Procreate" is the killer app for me. If you're not calling that "real work" I'm not sure what else to tell you.

Sucker born every minute? I don't know how much money it takes a podcast to support itself but I imagine it's still heaps cheaper than, say, your average billboard or 30-second TV spot.

It surprises me that nobody's mentioned Fiverr in the same vein. I'd think "an Uber for creative work" is at least prone to the same incentives to cut out the middleman.

UBI is like any other government service: if you're spending more on [Service aimed at me] than I actually need to become a productive member of society (or at least not a drain on it), you're not spending your money right. You ca

I mean, I question the value of keeping track of what porn you looked at that day, but as years go by the level of damns given about what other people think about you and your opinions goes down. I also think the level of security available

I guess this article counts as therapy, what with the whole line of "The goddamn vaunted databases of the government are NOT the stuff of conspiracy theories. In fact, they're just as shitty as you would expect."

That's less of a carbon sink and more of a kick-the-can approach (no pun intended).

The Google employees that do their work over VPN can probably work from home. Foodservice, janitors, and security, OTOH...

DashLane in the streets, 1pass in the sheets. My 1pass vault is decentralized, and also includes a robust password generator for making stuff on the fly -- something Dashlane lacks. I'm not sure I'm using either service fully, but

Food deserts ARE a serious problem. Growing [X] amount of produce locally would provide a much-needed source of cheap produce and/or revenue to the local community. There's also general health benefits of the added greenery consum

I believe it's something more to do with the OP's (mistaken) idea that CS majors are somehow more likely to be "hackers" or people who exchange pirated software or wares -- when really there's only a handful of peop

Well of course they do; it's not rape there as long as you marry the 12-year-old first.

My favorite quote from the Anarchist's Manifesto: "To Fix Anything, start Everywhere. To Fix Everything, start Anywhere." It looks grim, and we're going to have to use the few things we've gotten right as a species

My first (and only!) game of GO was ruined by my deep understanding of Chess. I applied chess-logic (focusing on gradients of control) and demolished my opponent, who refused to believe it was only my first game, and refused to play again.

Hey, I commute by train to work (about an hour each way once you factor in trotting to the station, waiting for commuter shuttles, etc.), and I'm happy as a clam because I can draw on my iPad or play on my Switch for much of that time.

The article implies that the 7 years he spent in the embassy prior to his arrest amounted to torture. IMO, at best we could dub his deterioration in the embassy as "self-inflicted", or more accurately institutional neglect on the

VBox + Discord = Mac Kid who wants to play games only written for Windows. Really top-notch logic there in the UK. Brexit's finest.
