I noticed when I was reading Federico Viticci's post about it that he was using telegram, which has much better support for "markdown"-y rendering, which looks a lot nicer than iMessage. And then I thought to myself, why woul

I'm surprised nobody else brought it up - what are the pros of left-hand driving? Is it about where the controls are in relation to handedness? Some sort of safety benefit? Better visibility in certain scenarios? And are postal carrier

Some other near-term negatives of the planned idea: - forces people to go to stores that primarily sell addictive substances - prices out poor people, who can't afford adult websites, _or_ - even more money meant for bills / food

Trying your app from your profile, and the movie thing is a bit weird for two reasons - at first, I thought it was an ad when it popped up above the fold, and second, I'm seeing a bunch of horror posters, which I don't really want

We recently purchased a Hörbert for our kids, which is everything you (I) want and nothing you don't - music is loaded via a SD card, there are 9 "playlists", it's mostly wood, and there's no need for WiFi or additi

I remember when 20 used to be considered high, and 5mg/ml was probably the most popular (or 3/6 depending who you got it from). Vaping back then largely felt like a fun hobby and was probably at its peak 'healthiness' an
