I like and see the value of corpspeak. Take “bandwidth”, for example. It’s superior to “time”, because it implies that something else has already filled up all the available time. Plus, by definition, bandwidth = [unit of work] / time.

I probably wasn’t clear enough. I don’t feel guilty because of my life style, I feel like I’m in a trap. What would happen with me and my family if power grid goes down for a week? What about a month? The point is, we can probably have best

This is exactly what I’ll try to change in next 5 years. Have a sustainable baseline: my own food (or at least 50% of it, other 50% locally grown within ~10km) and energy independent (for heating and cooking), and treat everything else as a

I’m from Serbia, and know for sure that during the NATO war against Serbia in ‘99 our military was residing in (some) schools. It makes sense if you think about it. If they were better at information warfare, they would have written “childr

Yes. I have two daughters, and my eyes get wet and my throat closes every time I remember that scene. But then, it turns out that most likely I'm manipulated. I say most likely, because I'm not sure anymore, and I don't want

There’s also the feel of being played and deceived when something you had strong emotional reaction (i.e. Ukrainian father saying goodbye to his daughters) turns out to be propaganda and part of information warfare.

It would be great if you could get a correct (or close) answer every time if you made a guess, and where you made an error. I assume you would get better after a while and would be even more fun.

Can someone tell if this would be a good personal/societal strategy: once you had covid, or fully vaxxed, it’s much better to be among other people, to be exposed to the virus and continuously train your immune system.

Just wanted to mention that! In Serbian (and most other south Slavic languages) we use a word слон (slon) for elephant. I was always wondering why is that, how can we have native word for the animal we could hardly had chance to see. Howev

One of my most experienced and respected colleagues likes to say: “when it looks like I’m not working at all that’s when I’m working the most”.

Good for them. But I guess there will also be some people judging and complaining how it’s not fair that they can afford to follow their dreams.

Well now that I’m so used to a level of privacy that locked iPhone provides (notification details are hidden), I just don’t mind having the phone relocked each time. It’s a trade-off that works for me. Also, it wouldn’t surprise me if signi

> I wouldn't allow my kids to use this app in a million years. And how would you ensure / enforce this? Honest question, because I'm in that situation right now.
