This is a great idea! I see others have mentioned ferries, however when I put my route in (Bainbridge Island to Seattle, WA) it chose roads not the ferry. Any way to force it to use my ferry route rather than the 3 hour road trip it chose?

Perfectly happy is maybe a stretch, but there are a few bills I still write checks for. These are a small stick it to the man because these companies charge a "convenience fee" for paying by credit card, and the only other payment

Came with the same feedback, I'm having fun playing with it, but it's amusing to search for "Comfortably Numb" and the first match is "Comfortably Numb" :D https://maroofy.com/songs/1065976

To be honest, yes, in that I'd hate for it to drop. However I've been on since 2009 and only have 309 karma, so I guess I don't care enough to try to make it higher.

I feel pretty secure in my job until ChatGPT can write itself. Once it can improve on itself, then I'll be really worried.

Not sure how small you're wanting, but Kinesis sells the Cirque EasyCat AG which is 3.3"x2.6". I've not used it myself, but I do have the Freestyle Pro keyboard, which I absolutely love and is very high quality, so I&#x2

There's a lot of people using Hauptwerk (virtual organ) for this and assembling their own consoles. Here is an organist on YouTube who shows his whole build process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UtzLlfwJ5w&list=

I still have a Net Yaroze sitting in a box in my garage, including all the manuals and CodeWarrior that probably won't work on anything anymore. I'd love to donate to someone who would use it, but it literally has a lifetime non-t

Movies have been doing this for a while, and people just seem to have gotten used to it after the initial "yuck" reaction. Peter Cushing, Coke Commercials, etc.

Abroad in Japan. He’s really popular, but I find him pretty balanced. That Japanese Guy Yuta. Some find him annoying, but I like it. He covers a lot of controversial subjects. I’ve actually purchased his language learning and it’s been real

I just discovered this channel about 6 months ago and am ridiculously hooked on it. Am I ever going to buy a right angle impact wrench or a chain saw sharpener? No, but I'll sure watch a 20 minute video on which one is the right choice

I've only visited Japan once (I'm American), and as someone who had never been, I definitely saw a lot of things that seemed magical and I can understand the tendency to romanticize it. Funny enough, I've been planning anothe

Interestingly, I just got a VanMoof electric bike a few weeks ago as part of a commuting program at work. I'm able to use it for leisure too, so I hope you're right.

It's probably several factors, according to the docs. Partly genetics, partly taking up running later in life (about 35, loved it, but the knee pain started in about 5 years in), partly being tall, partly weight issues.

I used to be an avid walker, at least an hour a day back and forth to work, and long walks with the dogs around my home (lucky to live in a beautiful area in the PNW with close beaches and lots of trees, so plenty to enjoy.) I've been

Mine connects, specifically to allow Alexa voice control. It actually comes in handy once and a while (or should I say, handless...) The one appliance I have that has internet capability that I don't understand is my dishwasher. It has

Mental math is useful (vital) when playing poker or other odds based skill games! You'd be thrown out of any casino if you broke out your phone every hand :D And, this sort of goes with the article, it's really useful for negotiat

Does anyone have any info on who is behind this before I submit my e-mail address to a random website? It seems like it could be interesting in an advent of code style thing, but I'd like to make sure of what I'm signing up for...

See my top level post, but I’ve been through it. A couple of quick answers. It’s hard to understand how overwhelming it is to suddenly loose every single material possession. And you’re spot on. Dealing with all the paperwork and agencies l

I lost my childhood home in the 1991 Oakland hills fire when I was in my early 20’s. I was the only one home at the time and it started on our block, so I had no time to get anything out of the house but the clothes on my back. So, I’ll emp

I love Stockholm (and Sweden in general). Had I visited earlier in life I likely would have wound up there. Second choice would be Amsterdam.

I miss Mike Quinn and Weird Stuff. I haunted them in my youth and made all kinds of crazy projects.

Get some dinosaur kids books. Kids love it when you read with them and tend to latch on to the ones you make really fun. As others have said, nothing is guaranteed, but it will certainly improve the odds. Worked with both my kids, one girl,

My team is fully remote and distributed among time zones, making it impossible to have an event during "working hours" for everyone. So we all just agree on an acceptable time. We think it's important to socialize as it helps

I agree with you, this is the best almost no cost option as there is such a close detour route and there is so little traffic coming from the east. I'm surprised this wasn't offered as a solution, all it would take is a barricade.

I agree with this! On our last visit to the UK we stopped at Avebury. Aside from touching the stones (and the sheep touching you!), there is a very nice little National Trust museum. Also in the town (all steps away) is Avebury Manor, which

I'll miss "bookmark all tabs". I'm in the 0.64% who use it, I find it very handy when doing research. I open a bunch of tabs and then save them off to reopen later and basically "keep my state."

You know what, this is the first I'd heard this. That makes so much more sense than the battery thing which always left me shaking my head. I agree, and I think the execs underestimated their audiences.
