    I just tried this out and it's very nice and easy to use. Thank you for sharing! I ended up copy-pasting the output from the messages page, which is 99% of the way to exporting a .…

    It's in the title - nothing special happens in this year. It is just another year in the late Ming dynasty, still a long way off from its eventual demise. But the author uses this …

    The release mentions that MIRI captures on a wavelength which includes both starlight and interstellar clouds, which admittedly looks awesome when put together!

    I completely agree about using pen and paper for learning and organizing my life. I have a weekly wall planner made of sticky notes and it’s so much more fulfilling than poking aro…

    What a cool idea! Now, how about somethimg where only content can be shared if it's only 500+ years old?

    Another benefit that comes to mind is having experienced stakeholders guiding a newer organization through growing pains in good faith.

    They didn't call it the peripatetic school for nothing. There are also cases of patients with speech aphasia who can speak while walking, but can't while at rest; it turns out that…

    I wonder if Firefox partnering with Duck Duck Go instead would be feasible, or even a net positive for users and developers. I'll admit to partly liking this idea just for the Game…

    An obvious example would be intellectual cross-pollination. This project is likely to get a lot of exposure in the Game of Life community as well as the Computer Science community,…

    Totally agree. I can't watch the demo run because I'm on Firefox, and I have no desire to watch a video for the reasons you described. And the world keeps spinning, I guess.

    I'm getting the same issues as all of the other Firefox users. Guess I'll never watch it, because I have a hard policy of never, ever installing Chrome malware on my personal compu…

    The false equivalence between the right to due process in accessing the world's de-facto global communication platform and eating junk food is honestly sickening to me. The power t…

    I think that Twitter and Facebook are a lot closer to the United States Postal Service than they are to McDonald's. Imagine getting banned from sending/receiving mail and having yo…

    You should probably edit out the team names & age - I'm somewhat concerned for the privacy of your friend given how specific you're being.

    It works great with Lynx (text-based browser in the terminal), which indicates it's at least usable by screen readers. Bonus points for not making me scroll past a horribly formatt…

    And though a tooth may bend the purest coin, remember too how gold will knead reason and virtue themselves like dough.
