I'm the author. I'm married but don't have kids. I distinctly remember when I first visited Hilo, Hawaii when I was 15, thinking that if I had to be homeless there, it would be better than having a job I hated. For years I li

Tynan here. I've bought small apartments with groups of friends in Hilo, Budapest, Tokyo, and bought a small island in Canada. My share of all four of those cost under $50k. So most of the time when I travel I go to places I have my ow

We currently have a lot of tariffs. Should we remove all of them, some of them, or do we have exactly the correct amount?

PinballFX is video game pinball. VisualPinballX is more of a simulation. Of course the simulation isn't 100% accurate, but it's shockingly close. Medieval Madness was one of my favorite games on virtual (I had never played the phy

I'm the author of the post that you mentioned inspired you last year. It was fun to read your post as I tinker on my 2nd virtual pinball cabinet. I now have 4 real pinballs and built new walls to make a secret pinball arcade in my hous

Just to chime in and add another datapoint, I switched to Kagi and expected that I'd eventually go back to Google (like I had when I switched to DDG), but the results are just as good or better and I'm happy to pay to not have ads

Very anecdotal (just the experience of me and my friends, who have a total of 5 new sterns between us), but I think there's not much maintenance. These things are made for commercial settings so they're pretty durable. One of mine

Cool! Love the game, by the way. Feels like it's a bit underrated because of the golf theme, but it's one of my favorite multiballs and I like the progression of the scorecard.

Author of the post here. My first game (No Good Gofers) is relatively simple, but I still haven't gotten to all of the advanced modes on it. More than that, just learning different passes and catches is interesting and challenging enou

Author here... minimalist might be a little bit outdated. A friend wrote the about for me because he was annoyed that I didn't have one. FWIW I do still only wear one set of clothes every day and travel for weeks with what most conside

X1 Carbon feels a lot nicer to me than a Macbook. It's also lighter than a Macbook air and has a bigger screen and better keyboard. Macbooks are better than about 95% of PC laptops, but that's because Macbooks are only in the lowe

Artelino.com is one of the best sites to purchase at (recommended to me by the creator of ukiyo-e.org). I got into woodblock prints just because I happened to see a great exhibit at the Honolulu Museum of Art. Before that they all sort of l

This is an incredible site that is invaluable for anyone involved in woodblocks. Japanese woodblocks are also a great way to get into art. You can get the same exact prints that are shown in museums for $100+.

Small anecdote that may help someone: I finally got RSI. I knew it would happen eventually since I'm on my computer all the time, so I just accepted it. When the pain in my wrist became too much, I'd shift positions or take a rest

Check out NoteCasePro. It's the only solution I could find that allows me to sync an encrypted file myself that I could open in Android and Linux (/windows/mac). It has a ton of advanced features, but I just use the basics li

I had an interaction like this in Canada. The options they give you are to give up your passwords, log in to your online banks to show them transactions, etc., or have everything confiscated. The reason they did it to me is because they tho

I did this a long time ago, so I don't remember exactly. Typically I would get my nap in on time, but sometimes wouldn't be able to fall asleep for some reason or another. I think going to sleep 20 minutes late wouldn't be th

I did polyphasic sleep for three months. It is possible and it does work, but what is overlooked is how perfect your sleep schedule needs to be. When you're hitting all of your naps perfectly, you're really not ever tired and you
