Have you told your manager you hate what you're doing and want to quit? People are people sometimes and want to help. What's the sense in quitting before you try to fix anything?

I want to make a lifelong email domain, but don't want to pay an enormous amount for a .com. If I do a ".party" or something, will that ruin my life? Will web forms still reject it…

Herd immunity is easier when 1/3 of the herd died from the disease. But they also did figure out quarantines eventually. "Quarantine" comes from the 40 day waiting period imposed o…

Movie studios are conspiring to remove any last bit of guilt I had about pirating.

With global HIV deaths in hundreds of thousands each year, but less evenly distributed and more stigmatized, will this vaccine be given emergency authorization as well, or is it li…

I tried that with my 10 year old and it wasn’t very fun or instructive. It teaches them about loops and functions, but it’s a lot easier to just brute force the mazes and there’s n…

I don't even know what I use. It probably changes in different repositories. I've never cared enough to check or set it one way or the other, and definitely don't care enough to ha…

Angkor Wat is not nearly as old as your Indian examples. It's similar age to Notre Dame cathedral. The main temple complex is the best preserved building in the area with some othe…

Speaking as someone who’s parents when waited to get divorced until I went to college, I think I would have been less messed up if they’d been honest and mature enough to get divor…

Isn't the expectation at this point literally, "better than nothing"?

This is something that has confused me for a long time. America definitely has mosquitoes (I’m from Washington, DC). How are there mosquitoes but no malaria?

Truly everything old is new again.

I only use Spotify because the Last Podcast Network went exclusive.

Why would a company ever default if it’s stock price can’t go down. Couldn’t it just sell more stock to cover it’s debts?

I liked the first one, but couldn't finish The Player of Games. The title was a little too accurate (at least for as far as I got) and imaginary boardgame play-by-plays are not so …

XP was notoriously slow to start.

Works well enough that I use it everyday. I think it's less straining because you can move your monitors far away in visual space, so even though you are looking at a screen an inc…

ImmersedVR and an Oculus Quest 2. Up to five monitors right on your face.

A little extra kick during staging for Rocketlab :)
