Don't trust the government, and THIS administration especially, with my account and routing numbers.

YES, another rickdate enthusiast! I even made a little demo page to help calculate for me: https://lastres0rt.github.io/rick-date/

Exams performed by someone else? About once a year. A self-exam once a month is one of those "good hygiene" things, though, and might be a decent idea to promote right now while pe…

The best example is what happened when Alex Jones found himself deplatformed -- although I think the simplest answer there is "too little too late".

I'm not gonna say you're wrong, I'm just going to say I've been having some variety of this argument since 9/11. If you have to spend the better part of two decades trying to defen…

I'm sure the ability to download AAA titles helped this time.

"Just think of all the money you'll save NOT being surrounded by slot machines!"

The kicker is that in order to be transferred to the non-covid hospitals, you still had to be TESTED for covid and come up negative. THAT'S why these hospitals were all empty in th…

Considering how Google and Apple are basically mandating WFH for the rest of this year, these lockdowns aren't for them; they're for all the other people who need a way to take car…

3) We were wrong about the kinds of people who were going to catch this (e.g. poor folks, people of color, people in nursing homes, prisoners, people who work jobs they can't freel…

Stop pretending this is just "the flu" either. When we talk about flu stats: most people have some immunity to the flu thanks to flu shots (even if they haven't gotten one for this…

I'm an illustrator, and "Procreate" is the killer app for me. If you're not calling that "real work" I'm not sure what else to tell you.

... but what about graphic novels?!

Sucker born every minute? I don't know how much money it takes a podcast to support itself but I imagine it's still heaps cheaper than, say, your average billboard or 30-second TV …

It surprises me that nobody's mentioned Fiverr in the same vein. I'd think "an Uber for creative work" is at least prone to the same incentives to cut out the middleman.

UBI is like any other government service: if you're spending more on [Service aimed at me] than I actually need to become a productive member of society (or at least not a drain on…

I mean, I question the value of keeping track of what porn you looked at that day, but as years go by the level of damns given about what other people think about you and your opin…

I guess this article counts as therapy, what with the whole line of "The goddamn vaunted databases of the government are NOT the stuff of conspiracy theories. In fact, they're just…

That's less of a carbon sink and more of a kick-the-can approach (no pun intended).

The Google employees that do their work over VPN can probably work from home. Foodservice, janitors, and security, OTOH...

DashLane in the streets, 1pass in the sheets. My 1pass vault is decentralized, and also includes a robust password generator for making stuff on the fly -- something Dashlane lacks…

Well, you've heard of burner phones -- welcome to 'the burner hacker'.

Food deserts ARE a serious problem. Growing [X] amount of produce locally would provide a much-needed source of cheap produce and/or revenue to the local community. There's also ge…

I believe it's something more to do with the OP's (mistaken) idea that CS majors are somehow more likely to be "hackers" or people who exchange pirated software or wares -- when re…
