Seems like GP spent more time testing this than the author did

More and more of the social networks are just the algorithm though - tiktok, X, Facebook, etc. How much of your feed does the average use personally know now?

This site is not all representative of the average internet user though

In comparison it’s much faster to draw, infinitely more portable and much less distracting. I use pen and paper for self notes that are throwaway in nature or exploring ideas. For …

Autopilots don't do any of those things without human in the loop

Doesn’t load_json throw if the file doesn’t exist?

Can you give some examples? Super interesting to me as someone with no children

Sadly it's a dying art form. 40-50 years ago every scientific university department used to have a scientific photographer to allow the researchers to publish their photos in artic…

I'm in the same situation (mobile Safari, French phone) but if you use Chrome it works

This hasn't been true for a long time now, more so for major routes. Just to check, I looked up prices for flights from LAX-JFK and compared them to a flight from Vancouver to Toro…

You’re not allowed to carry pepper spray in Canada for self defence purposes
