For those of us who live here, it's frustrating. Tons of scams and bullshit. But we can name 10 recent transplants who built new, very large homes at water level in the past 5 year…

I studied linguistics in college but never used FLEx. Sounds like an interesting project. Why do you say it's not very good (outside being windows only) and what keeps you from sta…

Maybe not a cash drain per se but we've decide it's not worth it. For us, it feels less like an intentional product and more a total shitshow. Increasingly so. It's always felt lik…

Yes, this is part of it, (but I'll say, only a fraction of it.) Big crisis at the company? Some businesses deal with very sensitive situations, which can include deaths or serious …

So, maybe 10 years ago, I wrecked my hand so bad that I switched to my non-dominate hand for mouse use for about 3 years. Even trying to go back to my dominate hand after a year, I…

Listen. I'm going to give you some on-the-ground perspective here. Mostly because I'm drunk. ;) I've started businesses (and by most measures, successful ones), and despite what al…

Since you're getting some responses to this, I'll add to what we started. It's important to note: I think "judging" parents isn't productive. People don't understand there are an i…

Like others here, I doubt UBI in the US will look like relaxation and leisure. But I think of 3 demographics the most on this topic: 1. People with disabilities A bit different sit…

Although I've worked in tech for a long time, I finally went to a conference a year or two ago, expecting maybe to have some fun conversations. Kind of went on a whim to see who I'…

Our kids? Hell, my wife and I don't use social media, except in very limited doses for work reasons. Our kids have zero access to it and never will. Their device usage is kept at a…

One reminds me of "global trade winds." Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but that's how it reads. It also feels very generic and unmemorable to me. Even though I have a lot …

We're actually in a the same boat, as I've recently fired up KiCAD for the first time. Keep in mind, I did not go to school for this type of stuff, but yes, I feel illiterate and l…

All good. theidermoth@proton.me.

Do you, by chance, write regularly anywhere or anything? Would greatly appreciate following along.

So, first, congratulations. New role, big pay bump, exciting opportunities? Sounds rewarding. Managing people, especially tech-minded folks, comes with its own nuances, imho. You a…

Vivaldi, started by the guy who originally was involved with Opera. I can't speak to the company or privacy features, since I haven't had enough time over the past few years to res…

Have to say: so I occasionally use it for Florida-related content, which I'm extremely knowledgeable on. I assumed your #1 was real, because it has given me almost that exact same …

Definitely. War itself brings new markets and new economic activity in many ways. For the most simple example, think of the conquest of the Americas and the opening up of resources…

One lesson of monetary history is that once you create a market, like bureaucracies, it is hard to remove. Historically, this is why new conquering rulers enact new taxes and insta…

Idiocracy. Classic.

There's good comments from others here. I'm also going to add some homeschool family perspective, as a father with several children. Hopefully this is helpful for other parents or …

Welcome to the club and congrats. - Make time for your partner. Both to continue nurturing your relationship, give each other alone time, and keep communication open (and on a rela…
