A lot of states already do it. I think all we need to do is get the POTUS to publicly shame any remaining holdouts. It's not that expensive, so it wouldn't likely present a hardshi…

So is tracking their agents and their marks. It's a double whammy.

Eh, disapproving conspiracy theories is also fun since you never know what you're going to be up against next. They're surprisingly complex and a great exercise for finding logical…

I've been sick the last couple days, perhaps with Covid19, and my new baby girl has a doctor's appointment this week, so I'm not sure what to do about that. I really enjoy being at…

I imagine it's less about the athletes than the spectators. Or at least I hope so, since the Olympics is best watched in groups.

I think people have overcomplicated meditation. At it's most basic, it's about clearing your mind and practicing keeping it clear over some interval. There are a lot of ways to do …

Funny, that's exactly why I don't play Hearthstone. I'm getting tired if games based more on owning top tier cards and following deck lists than actual strategy. I'm sad that Andro…

IDK, Magic Arena is quite popular, and I know a lot of people who got into it somewhat recently, so it's still a good game. Mana screw/flood is annoying, but it infrequent enough t…

I'm with you. I don't think "saving lives" is a good enough reason to give up our freedoms (barring an apocalyptic event or something). That being said, there's a lot we can do wit…

If sites don't track me, I disable my ad blocker. YouTube does, so it stays on the block list. I watch YouTube without being logged in, but I'd be willing to pay if they can prove …

Exactly. We should be encouraging responsible outdoor activities. If you can maintain a safe distance from others, making sure to account for wind, your added risk of going outside…

You can do it in phases, preemptively. If your area isn't overrun with the virus right now and isn't close to one that is (e.g. my area, with four hospitals and ~2 total confirmed …

Honestly, I think the worst part is feeling like you can't go outside. I voluntarily go days (sometimes more than a week) without leaving the house because I honestly like being at…

I really don't understand this whole perspective. Europeans seem to come from a perspective of government protecting and providing for its people, which can be seen at least partia…

That's kind of a long trip for a meal.

What do you mean "Japanese obsession with rice"? That's literally what sushi is (rice with vinegar and sugar). Sushi doesn't have to have fish on it to be sushi, it can have vegeta…

I'm pretty sure "sushi grade" fish is fish that has been frozen properly, and restaurants have to follow FDA guidelines on raw foods like this. It's not just a good idea, it's the …

Well yeah, sushi is the rice itself, while sashimi is the raw fish itself. If you have a mixture of both, it's still called it sushi. You can also have sushi with vegetables or fru…

It's pretty easy to set up navigation without voice control. Basically just pull over for a second, enter your destination, start navigation, then get back on the road. It probably…

Yeah, and running something like LibraryThing would be quite inexpensive. It doesn't need a lot of updates, there would be minimal problems if a data leak happened (it's fairly ope…

In my area, that's closer to 6 months supply. I went to Costco right after the coronavirus data hit the mainstream news and before Costco put limits on basic items like TP, and a l…

Sure, and nobody who cares about privacy would own an always on smart home device from Amazon or Google. But you don't always know if one of those devices is listening, such a when…

Honestly, if I was black, I would just lay down with my hands behind my back anytime I was asked to be searched and never consent. It's certainly a rights violation, but I'd rather…

A lawsuit will merely increase costs to government without solving anything. Maybe this officer will be fired (and probably rehired in a different precinct), but they won't learn a…

He's a real go-getter!
