Theoretically I'm kinda rich, but I feel the crunch at the grocery store. I buy the highest quality, lowest cost stuff I can find. There can be a positive story here maybe though: - More doordash = less grocery - More farmer's mar

Keychron K1 Max is the best tenkeyless ultra-slim keyboard IMO, and just about perfect. I'd say it's a "small keyboard" in width and in height. Mechanical, can be fairly quiet (with red switches), arrow keys, F keys, hom

Correct. It does not require a "service" to consume multiple blogs efficiently, just simply "software" (an app will do). The below RSS readers pretty much do their job and get out of the user's way. What's ama

Discourse has one major technical challenge currently, that I know about. It doesn't work (for being logged in and interacting) on iOS 15 and older as of the past year. It's view-only for those devices. Because of a load-bearing
