    I've been trying to rebuild my back deck this summer. I've wasted so much material, cut myself several times, and I was stung by a paper wasp, it has not been going well so far.

    I'd assume there's better options, but I've worked a lot with cesium. Even it has some interesting visualizations, textures, even weather you can add with it. Anything that could m…

    This is a fun idea and interesting implementation. I know there's only so much an api can give you, but I'd love to see anything that gives more information or visuals of the surro…

    I'm always wondering how long it will take for popular sentiment to finally shift. So many years of things like Blinky the fish in the Simpsons really did a number on our shared co…

    I never thought about the smell. Does it smell strong because of it's composition or because the vacuum of space has a strange effect on it? Like the particulates not dispersing en…

    Just because you fell in love with an AI, doesn't mean it loves you back.

    It's hard to argue against that. I suppose it's not that they even exist, it's just the unreasonable amount they profit on the items. If it's purely because they cannot attain item…

    Still waiting on anything to be done about rent to own businesses. The businesses that rely solely on exploiting the people in a bad position bother me so much, they should at leas…

    Everything I know and loved as a kid is disappearing. This one really hits me deep. I sincerely hope that national geographic is not disappearing on me.

    It seems likely much more effort will go into evaluating the failure than went into designing this submersible. It would be interesting to know how much more.

    This reminds me of how long it took me to notice a pattern in my relationships. When I look back, it's so obvious that I was picking a certain kind of person, and behaving in a cer…

    Do you think this is because no one was profiting from your message board community? I'm sure there's several factors, but it takes people who love something to build a presence wi…

    I wouldn't just normally post to a youtube video, but this seems rather relevant https://youtu.be/YJYFlI4ytbU

    I guess my issue is that I'm not all that interested in SETI. It would obviously be amazing if we find other life, and I'm not against funding or people searching. I just think the…

    It's a fair question, and I'm not educated on the subject enough to provide an opinion. Like I said, I'd just heard about this, so I'm not aware how much has gone into it. If it's …

    My favorite is the question headlines. Is Mexico in talks with the US about drug cartels? Are you chicken nuggets covered in covid-19? Is Trump ritualistically sacrificing children…

    I would rather get covid-19 than have to endure another conversation about the federal government and the current administration's handling of it.

    Many of the people here on HN probably work at much larger corporations than I, so my take might be different. But what I have noticed is a severe lack of interest in hiring UI/UX …

    I recall Hubble often being fodder for late night hosts and other media, but we don't even think about it now that it's proved it's worth many times over. It changed the narrative …

    Somehow I had not heard about the James Webb Space Telescope before now. The Hubble means a lot to me personally, and I have dreading the day I'd hear it was going out of service. …
