Somehow archive.is has mostly stopped working for me on many mainstream sites (Bloomberg, NYT, WSJ, etc...).

I love weighted blankets but have to be careful that they're not "too" heavy. I used to have sleep paralysis relatively often as a kid and a too heavy weighted blanket often re-tri…

I don't understand why people are such huge fans of iMessage / iOS. I have both an iPhone and an Android and the iPhone texting experience is worse in almost every way, including g…

There's two kinds of news I read, both of which I've found give a "good enough" / "middle ground" picture of things. 1) Financial news, specifically the Financial Times - middle, B…
