    I would also be really interested in seeing this if you’re willing to share it.

    Not as satisfying as seeing your books, but I keep a running doc where I note the title, dates, a short synopsis, and a few sentences of thoughts for books I’ve read. It helps me k…

    I had a congenital cataract removed, and the intraocular implant can’t adjust focus like a normal lens. So I have a similar problem. Progressives suck. Bifocals also suck. Finding …

    Curious if anyone has had hair issues while taking it. I’m aware that there’s no positive evidence for an effect, but there is an at least plausible mechanism. I’ve gone through tw…

    I developed this habit when I worked in software support. It made me substantially more effective. Sometimes people are reading for the joy of the prose. Sometimes they’re reading …

    Still plays on the radio. I can recognize it within the first two bars and have nearly punched a hole in my dashboard trying to turn it off.

    Really? Both times I got a loan they wanted bank statements from all of my main accounts and verifiable income history, but they didn’t care that I was paying from an account that …

    Mine was very simple, just finding and playing with values in config.ini for Red Alert 2 so that I could have infinite Tanyas and such. Next step was trying to get the boot screen …

    I also feel this way, but more importantly, I feel like my sentences are more coherent when typed because typing allows for corrections and modifications of ideas. Do whispr people…

    I respectfully disagree with the initial routing point. I very strongly prefer a traditional tree to “I’m your voice assistant! In a few words, tell me how I can help!”. The tree i…

    My folks gave me a big box of hard drives from various family computers over the years. Learning to use ddrescue and photorec to get data off of them was a ton of fun. Really cool …

    Out of curiosity, where did those who couldn’t or didn’t want to retire go?

    My espresso routine is a strong Americano made with two doubles and a little bit of water (I think I may get some hate for the Americano?). I like it, but it does take a little whi…

    I don’t have the plus, but the non plus still produces better espresso than I can get from the spots near me. As the proud owner of a 2008 Corolla, I approve.

    I frequently see it reference points that it made and then added to its memory as if they were my own assertions. This creates a sort of self-reinforcing loop where it asserts some…

    I have no affiliation with Shorts Blocker, but I installed it a long time ago and immediately forgot that shorts existed. Worth whatever I paid for it. https://apps.apple.com/us/ap…

    No no, I find that having to click back through almost 40 years’ worth of months to get to my birthday allows for a nice pause to consider the fleeting and ever-accelerating nature…

    I think the point is that the banner is more likely to extend your search by sending a negative signal than it is to speed up your search. Fair or not, potential employers often ha…
