Yeah, that's a good one. "Dumb and fun" is a good description. Craig Alanson also wrote a fantasy trilogy a while back that proved much better than I was expecting. It started off …

The headline is confusing. This is not about a company that's becoming older. It's about a building a biotech company that treats the symptoms and causes of aging.

This app has been great. I've used it a lot to identify the birds that inhabit my back yard. I tried using it in New Zealand last year, and it wasn't as effective as in the US: I t…

Agreed. As a citizen, most interactions with border control are unpleasant. The only positive experience I've ever had was at a quiet border crossing in Maine where I met what was …

I had a Brother Multi-Function color scanner/printer that lasted almost 15 years. In the end, the scanner started to malfunction, doing blurry scans, but the printer portion still …

We discovered that many towns in Iceland have municipal pool/sport complexes, and those were great to visit. They were quite affordable for single visits, the pools were great (wit…

This is very nice. I didn't know Pluto's orbit was more inclined than many of the others. It also gives me strong "The Expanse" vibes. Probably because there are so many orbital bo…

About a month ago started reading the first book of the Murderbot Diaries (All Systems Red) after seeing it recommended multiple times. I have to admit that it didn't sound all tha…

As a Californian living in the central valley, where we never get snow, I had never heard of snow tires until I lived in Germany, where seemingly everyone had them in winter. Nobod…

I also discovered Storyteller among the Netflix games and loved it: truly a gem. However, just like you said, when I finished it, I didn't have any reason to come back to it. "Into…

That was one thing that the article didn't explain that I was curious about. What does days mean in this context and how does the court determine the number of them? Why days combi…

I remember back in the late 1990s, I heard a lot of people pining for the earlier days before the "eternal September" when the Internet wasn't full of clueless people ruining every…

My company had a similar experience. They were a smaller Bay Area company only hiring locally, then went remote and expanded their candidate search. They were able to get a much be…

I like your website: it's simple and mostly easy to find things. I also like the concept. I was looking for an API reference to see what I could do with your API, but didn't find o…

Having worked with several low-code/no-code systems in the past, I've had similar experiences. They work really well if you stay within their area of strength, but once you go outs…

It would be the "dark ages" in Europe, but not in China. It was also during a time of scholarship and observation in the Islamic world. If it was observed, I would have expected it…

I concur with the other opinions. After having used Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google meet in the workplace, I've found Google Meet to easily be the best option. It feels like I'm …

Sometimes, it can be a case where someone is still alive, but hasn't yet communicated with the person that reported them missing for whatever reason. After two weeks, however, I im…

I had never heard of a honey locust tree. Those things look like they have really nasty thorns.

I briefly tried out tabNine, which was OK, but had a lot of suggestions that weren't quite right, so I stopped using it. Since then I haven't bothered to use anything else. I've re…
