    It looks really cool, but (IMO) you need to work on selling the game better with the written word. I have no idea what this is except a card game with western and Lovecraftian imag…

    Sorry, leftover bourbon?

    I'd rather not go into personal detail but I share a similar experience. The thing that really drove it home for me was when I got back home and was telling my own doctor about my …

    The big showstopper is what to do with the hypersalinated byproduct. You'd kill anything that was near where it's let out. It's also very corrosive and I imagine the would be a pro…

    The lines and paved road got put in during the old days of logging, I'd assume it was considered financially impractical for a number of reasons, likely from a legal perspective, d…

    Well the tree was there a few centuries before the line was. And like I said, it's impractical to fall them.

    Maine's trees are tiny compared to the PNW. Most of them would hardly graze the line if they fell over. It's really difficult to prune, say, 50 miles of Douglas-fir that stands eas…

    We could look at it as a problem, but if we keep idiots safe from this bullshit, they'll just go do something equally as stupid. If we get rid of this it'll be one less thing we ha…

    A little tangential, but carriers and hackers can execute arbitrary code on your device through OTA updates with the baseband modem. It's even been done on 5G. Which also reminds m…

    I don't disagree that it's exploitation, but I think you obscure a very complex problem with "nobody should be in such a weak position". I'm not sure any economic or legal arrangem…

    Cheaper to hire a felon or immigrant. I'm not saying I agree with this arrangement.

    How do we make cleaning septic tanks more enjoyable?

    It seems to be the thing nowadays to be preoccupied with the notion of your own identity, and I can't help but feel like it's just navel gazing. Maybe it's social media and the cul…

    IIRC GUI support was taken out because one of their long term goals was (is?) to reduce the codebase and to make neovim something you can plug into any text input field. You could …

    I get a chuckle out of people looking for an outlet for their device while I'm carefree with my Port-a-Punch.

    I really wish we could buy a new car these days without some insane infotainment system. I don't even want a screen or backup cam. I know DOT requires a backup cam, but they cause …

    Seems like the tape would get burnt up before too much damage was done though.

    If terrorists farmed out work to meth heads I'm sure we'd see some creative solutions for spreading mayhem. A lot of those guys are very familiar with critical infrastructure.

    Don't underestimate meth heads looking for copper. I knew a power company employee that told me there were more than a couple of incidents of a tweeker getting fried at the local s…

    Just an aside, a D9 is a real hellbeast. I got to drive one on some forestry work and there's not much out there that makes it stop moving. Gives me a stiff willy just thinking abo…
