I absolutely want to do something like this to help me and my family spend less time watching our phones in the evening. Does anybody know of a reasonably-simple way of either increasing the latency or throttling the bandwidth, per-device,

There's another thread linking the same article, and it's very unclear that this loss of weight is caused by the mental effort. If thinking hard required a lot of energy, wouldn't we expect that thinking hard would cause an i

Anybody here had experience dealing with that kind of cold? I'm curious how people deal with with. Is that something that good equipment can protect against or is it just too cold?

Where do you live? In SF, last time I tried to get the cops to come out of their desk (to arrest a bike thief who was selling my stolen bike literally 3 blocks away from the station), they told me that they couldn't do it. One of the e

+1, this would have been super to me too when buying a car with the constraint of having a tiny garage with a weird shape. What I really wanted was a tool that lets me draw the plan of the garage and then tells me if I'll be able to pa

My dad had one! Another interesting about them is that the wood is decorated with patterns that are carved on it as the wood is alive and still growing. They're beautiful, I have never seen that technique anywhere else.

A kid in my 3yo son's preschool class tested positive today, and they are asking that all kids test twice (with a few days in between) and wear masks at all times while at school for the next 6 days. I'm in SF My intuition is that

I totally agree, and I've observed how my productivity has gone up dramatically now that I'm back to the office. It's fairly empty, so it's not like there is actually many people watching over my shoulder, but somehow wh

Can you explain what it means to "deny the existence" of someone? I see this expression often, but I'm genuinely puzzled by what it means in practice. I agree with you that "purposely misgendering one's colleagues&q

Actually my wife had a bad cold this summer and she coughed so hard during the night that we had to take her to the ER and she was lacking oxygen (not sure by how much). She is otherwise healthy in her early 30s, though she was pregnant, wh
