    After Meta in Louisiana, Amazon is currently building 3 separate data centers across Shreveport-Bossier. Have to imagine they are receiving the same treatment. I’ve driven by the B…

    Eggs may be cheaper than when they were during culling/avian flu, but food sure isn't. Where I am most grocery items are now 50-70% more expensive than last January. The milk I buy…

    It's nice to see Anthropic sticking to their terms. I just have one question in all this. Why is Anthropic being singled out when it seems all the other big players are down to pla…

    I’d also tack on National Videogame Museum in Frisco, TX to your lists.

    No surgery and I don't wear any vision correction, they aren't gone 100% just reduced greatly. I really only ever notice them when going from dark to light. Typically never inside …

    I also started taking the Sports Research omega-3 capsules early this year. Seems the consensus for taking any omega-3 is that it's single-source and wild caught which is why I cho…

    "The average American household spent $87,432 in 2021." That number seems awfully high to me? That's more than I am seeing the average household makes in 2023.

    I wouldn’t say it’s a full replacement for homebrew, but I am enjoying mise so far after hearing about it earlier this week. https://github.com/jdx/mise

    I develop software for flight data analysis at a company that makes flight data recorders. Our focus is mainly helicopters, but some fixed wing. Dealing with aircraft that may take…

    I have wired CarPlay in my Honda Accord, it's like 95% fine. My wife has wireless CarPlay in her Honda Pilot, and it's got the weird disconnection issues. We found that if our kids…

    I decided to give uv a shot on my new machine over pyenv and I've been enjoying it. Just last week I had to generate out 90 slides from some data last minute. Quickly created a pro…

    It’s in Walt Disney Presents at Hollywood Studios. There is a bunch more Disney models and memorabilia inside as well. Feels like a hidden gem because it’s always pretty empty, plu…

    I always enjoy reading this list yearly, and the research that goes into it. As someone who prefers thicker gel pens I used the Uniball Signo 207 as I could easily find these local…

    I’ve been working with a large European company and it surprises me that they insist on using “master”. They even make other master named branches on the repos as well.

    Been using Solaar for a few years with a Logitech K400 keyboard with the built-in touchpad. Running on a Raspberry Pi connected to my TV. No issues and works very well. Have never …

    I’ve noticed Disney+ showing “ads” as well despite being on the Disney+ and Hulu (No Ads) bundle. They claim it’s “promotional content” not ads, and they are all Disney related. Re…

    Awesome project. I currently work on flight data recorders. As you are aware, weather plays a big part in aviation. We do collect some weather information and it’s always one of th…

    Guess that depends where you are, as that is not the case where I'm at. When we were car shopping recently multiple dealers tried a 20% markup, that was an immediate walk away for …

    I was gonna comment on the sorting being less than ideal too. Only sort by release date (not publication date), author, ease, and length. Can't even sort by title.

    Reminds me of the 3Blue1Brown video about Wordle, and then it's followup video. I guess that's kind of a spoiler, but still worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v68zYyaEm…

    Currently the upcoming Starlink for Aviation terminal is for much larger aircraft than we are operating on at the moment. Plus the cost is $150k for hardware, and up to $25k monthl…
