No normal person can repair a Tesla, it’s basically a trade secret. My brother is a mechanic and servicing Teslas are a non starter due to the complexity. The notion that I can jus…

UTM is great for basic stuff but performance has been abysmal so not really viable as a workhorse in my day to day. Nothing beats Parallels on Mac, worth every penny.

It appears to be that paper straws have more PFAS than plastic. Seems no matter what we do we are boned. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/08/28/paper-...

How can you work on side projects while playing with your kids? My kids get 100% of my attention because otherwise it ends up more like being 0%. I can’t learn the next whiz-bang f…

Get up at 6am. Get kids ready for school. Help my wife with any chores around the house for a bit. Start working. Lift on my lunch break in my home gym. Back to work. Kids come hom…

Why bother saving for a home when buying one is now out of reach for most people in their lifetimes? Why bother having children when climate change is going to boil everyone alive?…

America has failed to keep up housing construction with population growth for a long time now so if your “guardrails” requires places for people to live you’ve already lost.

Well at least you admit that the pretence of the Department of Justice being non-partisan/independent is just a facade.

The analogy is nonsense.

I'm all for large infrastructure investments in clean energy. Unfortunately the people in power where I live (Northern Ontario in Canada) only seem interested in inneffective taxes…

If I create a new kind of tool based on the beak of an emperor penguin, that tool doesn't suddenly vanish if emperor penguins go extinct.

This fails to take into account the reduced quality of life from implementing things like carbon taxes and other regulations that increase the costs of everyday goods and services,…

"The Earth is dying, lets make everyone's life miserable anyway" doesn't quite have the same ring to it. Fanatics still seem to be stuck in the "bargaining" phase, I feel ahead of …

And thousands of animals also die due to industrial agriculture.

There's no such thing as genocide in the (non-human) animal kingdom. There is only natural selection.

I don't deny climate change. Quite the opposite. I just don't believe there's anything we can actually do about it. Seems a lot of the climate fanatics also agree with me, because …

99.9% species to ever exist have gone extinct. Just because we see one happening in front of us with expensive measuring equipment doesn't mean much. This has big "the polar bears …

I suppose a “long time” is relative. I don’t have a Twitter account and haven’t cared much about what he does for about…3 months or so? with a 24 hour news cycle that fees like an …

I went and clicked on a random job posting for SpaceX and there are references to refugees and asylees being allowed to apply now. Seems like it’s going to boil down to “we interpr…

and I’m still using regular postgres just fine for over a decade and no plans to stop any time soon serverless has mostly been hype and snake oil for me Nothing beats a beefy box o…

I haven’t been following bird man’s (X man?) shenanigans for a long time, what happened?

I thought that SpaceX, due to the nature of their work (rockets) were specifically prohibited from hiring non-citizens? Edit: seems like the DOJ is claiming that that is not the ca…

> The reason client-side rendering is so popular (IME) is that it creates a clear separation between frontend and backend devs. You can use separate repositories, languages, deploy…

No. Neither should be allowed, and there is way too much apologism for domestic mass surveillance when you are more likely to be unjustifiably screwed 8 ways from Sunday from your …
