Windows Store individual links don't seem to work for me. I have to search them up in the home page.

If you put multiple images in an Apple Notes note, it’s insanely slow and also it only exports as txt files so no images afaicr

Apple Notes unfortunately does not let you export notes with the images attached, not always relevant but it really hurt me once.

Interesting to see this now, I was thinking of switching to a new platform for tasks and notes because Evernote’s free tier is quite limited and Apple Reminders often doesn’t even …

>What basis do you have for this claim? People make these claims constantly so confidently, but wherever I look all I see is that dictators have always been willing to make their n…

I've been looking for something like this because sometimes it's hard to verify movie and TV quotes unless they are already very famous.

Japan has high stomach cancer rates and sodium is implicated https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1860129/

I would guess that the problem only appears if it's the same artist and same album ID. Not sure if techno artists use "Untitled" multiple times on the same album, haha.

A funny edge case I've found in one of the most popular music services (Last.fm). There is an instrumental post-rock ish band called Collections of Colonies of Bees and they have a…

The only popular social app that claims to do this is Hinge.

Feeling slightly peeved that they call a square a space.

As an LA native, I had no idea about this. I know Hollywood has a reputation of being a tourist trap, but things like this make me think, how could you not be romantic about this c…

Not a website, and this may be obvious, but if you are doing research on Wikipedia on a topic from a non-English speaking country, sometimes that nation's language features a longe…

Back when I had cancer in 2015, I read about this effect but I also read there was some potential danger in the cancer cells adapting to ketosis and accelerating their growth, so I…

Funny how people always bring up this quote and not the one from Federalist 58 where Madison warns against requiring supermajorities for general legislative work which many defende…

The implementation of referendums needs serious reform in many democracies. My home state of California is still dealing with the effects of several propositions from generations a…

You're right that cars are more reliable today but I follow a lot of mechanics on YouTube (Car Wizard, Kilmer, etc) who say that cars were easier to work on back then. These days (…

Can you name such places? Someone mentioned Houston, but I honestly don’t know if their zoning laws are more liberal than ours (LA).

Yes, that's a much better way to put it. It just seems ironic to me that after decades of policies leading to a wealthy California the same detractors are claiming that the liberal…

The high cost of living in California has almost nothing to do with liberal politics or whatever you're trying to insinuate.

It always seemed to me that the claimed benefits of wine also exist in grape juice.

I've noticed that a lot of services that sell royalty-free non-exclusive licenses to stock vectors and other images have a lot of images like this: https://www.vectorstock.com/roya…

It's fascinating to me hearing about how Hong Kong and Tokyo have similar cost of living to even some of the most expensive metros in the US, but the pay isn't as competitive. It m…

A mild annoyance of mine is how the potential benefits of cryptocurrency (decentralized verification, cloud storage, etc) are often lost among discussions of why Bitcoin is bad, wh…

Like the other replier, I also found NixOS very difficult to install and my hardware wasn't supported as well as Debian was.
