Technically people do benefit from having a dump or power plant. Very few people are affected by having a dump nearby or a nuclear power plant, whereas it seems like the power gene…

On the website for the algebra I book: Grade Level US 6–8 / UK Years 7–9 "Asia 2-4" is missing.

It is chiefly concerned with the following question: how should interest charges on goods in transit be computed when the goods travel at close to the speed of light? This is a pro…

I'm tired of long winded posts that bury the lead, AI or otherwise. Long form can be worthwhile, but many times it's just the writer performing an unnecessary guitar solo.

I was going to use this quote yesterday, but correlation is not causation. I prefer the one where the national debt increases more under "fiscally responsible" republicans. More co…

Lots of complaints about Netflix, but for the money, combined with Prime, I only miss affordable NHL, which is split between too many providers. I agree that I wish Netflix had les…

I love to support creators, but I wish there was something common between free and significant subscription price so that I could show appreciation more readily. Examples I would u…

Contrary to what others say, I don't think MacOS is that bad. In general, it's perfectly stable. There has been an increase in situational paper cuts -- I haven't experienced any I…

I love my merino wool socks and non-base layers, but my skin is generally too sensitive for most brands. I should try the smartwool underwear because there stuff is better than the…

My 2¢: Feedly's free plan is great and their web UI awesome. The features I want from the pro plan do not warrant the price. I've switched to using Feedbin. I don't mind paying for…
