I'm transitioning to being a carpenter of sorts. I think it has a lot in common with design/dev. My dad is a contractor, he's lousy at marketing but manages to stay busy. He likes to say "All I do is pick up the phone wh

As an Evernote user, Bending Spoons has been iterating fast over the past couple years to improve the product. It’s much better than it used to be.

I usually agree, but it's fairly high up, the bulb is probably non standard, and it's not clear how to get the top off. Just slightly more work than I'm willing to put in.

There’s probably a vast difference btwn what the state says it costs the maintain them, and what it costs this guy. Really wish there were more opportunities for the public to do stuff like this. There’s been a light out in the alley near m

One nice thing about being on the spectrum is that you can spot morally sketchy situations more clearly—or at least more clearly than most normies. I once walked out of a pitch meeting where we were trying to land a client that completely c

Yeah might be worth regularly eating foods like kimchee or kefir. Or high quality yogurt. It seems to help with my psoriasis which is related to inflammation.

Last year, I accidentally canceled a return request after realizing I was being scammed by the seller. eBay refused to refund my money because the request had been canceled, even though the return address provided by the seller was fake. I

What are the licensing implications of this? If I’m Google, I’d be pissed that my software is being used without a human there looking at the ads.

My backyard was full of broken glass, metal, and plastic, buried about a foot deep. The previous owners had buried lots of trash in random holes they dug all over the yard. I spent the past few months sifting it all out and putting back the

Would be cool to sort by ‘community’ too. If you get really deep into native planting, folks recommend you get plants native to your geographic area. California has lots of these communities for example: https://www.laspilitas.co

Yeah I’d love this too. I live in SoCal and I’m doing my yard with native plants. Some things I’m having trouble finding: 1) plants that bloom in seasons other than spring 2) plants that aren’t native but can work in my climate 3) plants th

Firstly, this is an opinion piece not an article. Secondly, I've never encountered such an inadequate summation of such a notable accomplishment. If the author holds such admiration for earlier forms of flight, I'd be interested t
