Appreciate your take. I think we’re bouncing around the same mental state from different sides. I do not believe in predetermined roles. My version is to find the thing you’re exci…

This feels like such a defeatist take. The ideas time had come. For luck to strike you have to be in the market for it. Just keep shipping and playing. We don’t “all have our role …

Built myself a silly little menubar pomodoro timer tamagotchi thing for mac. I’ve been slowly going through and building highly personalized versions of my day to day apps. This is…

I actually think this is the same point as who you’re responding to. If the human vs ai factor didn’t matter, you wouldn’t care if it was the human or ai on your co-op. The differe…

check out Bill Bryson’s “at home” if you’re looking for something a little less specific to refrigeration and more fun narration of similar novel life/home inventions. To give a se…

The fediverse folks are violently against any efforts for discoverability. They like the high bar for discovering and joining. Any attempt gets brigaded and shut down quickly

Weird approach chastising your customers lack of expertise in something they’re actively trying to pay you to solve for them. He shouldn’t have to be an expert in it. I was a longt…

For me he touches on this here: “One thing that distinguishes the persistent is their energy. At the risk of putting too much weight on words, they persist rather than merely resis…

These answers make it seem so much more fancy than it is in most cases. Year 1 - Form posts into slack. Someone calls you and reads the price off a pdf. Year 2 or 3 - form posts in…

Having medical issues and no way to pay for them?

Helios flight 522 had no usable voice recordings due to the nature of the incident. The cockpit recordings begin well after the last pilot actions from what I recall. They were abl…

I used to feel the same way, but over the past few months have started experiencing it quite a bit. I think it started in more touristy areas I didn't tend to go to, and now is spr…

The average includes the over performers

The comment wasn’t that 2% doesn’t matter. It was that even with the 2% from your ugly fund manager you should still just buy index funds

Remember when we used to call that filtering and it was a feature and not a con? Not for actual censuring in cases where it’s demonstrably harmful - but I’m not required to give at…

I’m super bummed that we didn’t name this “Free Willy”

I don't agree with this take - I joined mastodon with the best intentions and really wish I could have found my folks there. I did not want it to be like Twitter. The challenge is …

I could believe that it's possible to stumble upon an instance that fits who you are and offers a great onboarding experience - but it's far from the norm. The reason I'm confident…

Fair point, then I guess I'd adjust my comment to say "in ADDITION to the server issue....". The reality is even once you're connected, it can be a rough place to explore for newco…

Everyone likes to blame the server interface, but honestly that's not so bad and I think most people get over it. Mastodon's real problem in my opinion is that its primary audience…

In that moment, I also don’t really care how they did. It has absolutely nothing to do with how they end up passing, the pain they’re feeling or the level of stress they’re under. …

This is reductive in that it implies if the answers are yes you won’t be the one sitting in bed screaming or drugged up. I’ve seen this situation enough (whole family works in hosp…

I actually find the smaller sized Apple Watch fills this exact need nicely. Screen is too small to leverage much beyond phone and text. Can leave the phone at home and still use th…

Thanks so much for suggesting this - fits me perfectly. Have always wanted to do something for bees and with bees, but know I wouldn't commit to taking care of them as needed. Goin…

I'm sure there are some forms of carefully crafted hybrid that works well - but in our case it's become a weird case of "whoever happens to live near an office comes in". End resul…
