I get those emails. It's too bad the reply-to email address never works. I've tried a couple of times to let them know that it'd be hilarious if they shared my porn watching habits…

A closer alternative is 'ocenaudio'. https://www.ocenaudio.com/en/

I'd like a sky burial in Tibet, but that ain't gonna happen (at least not legally) unless things change.

I used to think the same thing, until I read an article that made me look into it. The article I read was a local affair that pointed out that inmates are encouraged (in my state, …

I think they might be one of those 'free-market' types, with a whiff of Ayn Rand. I read a number of their other comments. I am not answering for them, merely observing a trend. I'…

The sticky stuff on the bat shouldn't cover more than 16" from the handle. It may be 14", but I'm pretty sure it's 16". So, while some could get on the ball, it's not very likely a…

I honestly don't know how many times my data has been stolen from various entities. The biggest/most important was the OPM breach, but there have been so many more that I legit don…

I didn't even realize that they were still diving for them. Here in Maine, they trap them. I don't know of anyone that still dives for them and don't think they do it much, if at a…

I wonder what checks and balances are in place. Can someone be a complete dirtbag and request that legitimate criticism be removed simply because they don't want folks to know they…

Indeed. Before safety belts were mandatory, they were optional on many models.

I like the HN guideline enough to consider it for use on other sites and on my own. "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one…

I have a new project site that's largely viewed by technically competent people. All my other logs indicate that I get a mere 50 to 75 unique visitors per day - not heavily traffic…

I purchased a new C8 to add to the collection until my granddaughter is old enough to drive. The HUD is very, very good. I'm not sure how they managed on such a sharp windshield, b…

It has been a long time since you could get a truly bespoke car from a major manufacturer in a reasonable price segment. But, you used to be able to order all sorts of stuff - or n…

The Vivaldi mail thing must have been in the works for a while. Since very early on, they offered an email address at their .net domain. It wasn't integrated or an email client, bu…

You walk a fine tightrope (and do it well). I do not envy your role here in the slightest.

> Microsoft said the issue was "due to an accidental human error and we are actively working to resolve this." (I did some searching.) This is from a report here: https://www.msn.c…

That's actually measurable. You take the data from before the change and the estimations (based on similar changes elsewhere) and plot how long it takes for the traffic to reach ex…

I have been putting my Linux notes online in the form of a blog. I use a plugin that estimates the time it takes to read each article. I try to keep them all under five minutes, un…

VPS or cheap shared hosting. Seriously. This way you're at least owning your data, more or less. Yeah, it costs money, but you own your data. You can always keep backups just in ca…

My company modeled traffic before I sold it. Roundabouts (or 'rotaries', depending on where you live) and yield signs could do a whole lot to reduce travel times and increase effic…

I like how y'all are arguing over what a vague term actually means. "Sky high" isn't actually anything specific and it's rather relative. Reading through the thread, almost everyon…

If it gets bigger, you may need to do email verification - at the minimum - to avoid people filling it up with junk submissions. You could probably also do something for site owner…

I have no idea how well it'll take off. I just tested it. It looks like one could be dedicated and fill it up with a list of their site's links. (I tested - and am the owner of lin…
