I'm a general class ham and developer and I've been wanting to learn CW for years. A few years ago I started working on a morse game and I got the main game loop down but just neve…

Started a business with my wife as well. It grew successfully and we still got divorced and now we still work together. Thankfully we managed it beautifully but it was definitely t…

Some cars and trucks from the last 40 years were built incredibly well and when a specific vehicle was maintained well and not abused can provide very good options vs new super tec…

The venn diagram of 'homeschooled' and 'goes to church regularly' is not quite a circle but its not far off. Moderate to large churches also provide a great deal of socialization i…

I wonder how much is intentional as a painless / possibly even "pleasant" way to end things on their own terms. Its cheap, incredibly effecient, and leaves a better narrative than …

If they make the firmware there's no guarantee they aren't still doing it just without a broadcast SSID going along with it.

My gf and I are the stereotypical software nerd meets astrology girlie (but doesn't take it too far). She likes to do rituals every so often and I've found that it does create a mo…

Wouldn't you say that most multiplayer video games are their outlet for social engagement and even community involvement?

It takes a lot more tech staff to build a tech company than it does to run a tech company.

> If the pendulum can swing so broadly ever 4 years I'd better watch it, right? Honest question: If, other than voting every 4 years, you have no ability to impact change, why spen…

Incentives, the opportunity cost of time, and monogamous cultural influence, mostly. Touching another person is widely considered an intimate act and most of the general mainstream…

When I first started down this path my first red flag appeared when I started asking poly people how long they'd been poly. The first 30 people I asked over a period of about 4 mon…

Don't attribute to reality what happens for engagement on a tiktok video. BlackRock, Fidelity, and about 10 others have all filed S1s with the SEC who continues to meet with them a…

Accidents happen all the time for any number of products. As was linked earlier over 700 people die every year in the US from being tangled in their bed sheets. Banning something b…

From Investopedia: Capitalism is focused on the creation of wealth and ownership of capital and factors of production, whereas a free market system is focused on the exchange of we…

A private person who controls the production of his work and sells it in an open market economy is definitely capitalism.

'Brutal honesty' and 'not sugar coating the truth' are both lines used by emotionally immature people protecting their own values and ideals. Anything that needs to be said while b…

Few issues highlight just how different the US is from most European countries as well as public transit. Intellectually we all know the US is huge but we don't have a conceptual m…

I just moved out of a metro area to about 20 miles out of town and have been running these numbers. How you calculate time is something few people talk about but seems incredibly r…

I took a queue from Seth Godin in his book 'This is Marketing' where he basically breaks it down to: People like me do things like this. I adopted a certain baseline of living as p…

You can drive whatever you want on private property. It's the 'going on the road' part that adds on the government oversight.

The iOS Weather app from Apple does tell you if its going to rain in the next hour. Even down to the minute and for how long.

That looks like a great addition to the overall design portfolio. Thanks for sharing! I was hoping for some AI to show me ideal (or at least a few good) layouts instead of me havin…

No, every one of those is the same as I mentioned. They are staging AI apps. None of them offer the ability I asked for, which is to change the layout of a house / set of rooms.

'use upwork to generate this' meaning just hire someone to do it for you?
