    I was planning to do a similar project and I was thinking about the below displays. Leaning towards the 10.3" because of the price and resolution. https://www.waveshare.com/product…

    I agree. It's a little strange to complain about a lack of progress in webcams the past decade, and then ship similar quality hardware to decade old webcams. Why does everyone focu…

    I upgraded a desktop machine the last time I visited my family. It was a Windows 7 computer that was at least 10 years old with 4GB of ram. They wanted to use it online for basic w…

    I once saw a spider with long legs in a web by my bathroom sink. I flicked a bit of water at him and a drop of water stuck to his body and covered it. He quickly climbed down the w…

    How can we be certain we're also not bound by the laws of physics and chemistry? If the universe went back in time exactly one year, is there any reason you wouldn't make all of th…

    I completely disagree. I think these are taking it a step further than your examples. Dalle2 is not just using the existing Kermit and pasting it in different environments, it's mo…

    I understand evolution and the time frame. I have no trouble with that concept. What I find difficult to believe is that a viable universe started in the first place to give evolut…

    > What is so remarkable about the iPhone or the spaceship? What brings you to make a distinction between a "live" human body and an "inanimate" celestial body? I'm not trying to sa…

    > “Why” we exist is coincidence and millions of years of happy little evolutionary experiments blindly conducted by nature. I'm not religious either, but I always find this hard to…

    I've always been slightly below average weight my entire life (late 30s now), and it's a bit of a struggle to maintain that weight. I typically eat a little extra each day, not bec…

    For expensive objects, a lot of the price goes into the limited production runs. A number of these very expensive watches ($100,000k+) might be a single unique piece or limited run…

    Why do you assume all of these things only exist to impress others? There's a lot to appreciate in the design and craftsmanship of a well made product, its impact on culture, or it…

    I don't agree here. This social network is a tool for one method of communication. It doesn't need to be a platform for all types of communication. By trying to excel at everything…

    I was watching the news last night and they interviewed an older woman who left her high paying finance career to work as a florist. It's far less pay, and she finds her life much …

    Credit card transactions are much easier to reverse. For example, I went to a restaurant and a few days later I noticed they double charged the bill. I called the restaurant, they …

    I'll toss out a crazy idea to compete with Google. 1. You buy StackOverflow for $2 billion and Reddit for $10 billion. 2. You block Google from indexing the sites. 3. You start a n…

    As a customer, I find these type of sale strategies absolutely exhausting. I hate booking flights for this reason. I find a fair price, try to coordinate time off, accommodation, m…

    Nice work, it's lightweight and fast to load. A few notes after using it for a bit... 1. There's far too much white space and unnecessarily large headers. Reading content in cafes …

    I had this happen as well about 8 years ago. My Gmail account one day just said it couldn't log me in, even though my password was correct, and I was logging in from the same home …

    You're right, the fish are safer to eat. However, I know a relative that died ice fishing and a friend of my fathers that died in a boating accident. Being on the water comes with …
