Consider the lilies of the goddamn field. - O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Those stupid effing TurboTax ads are the only time I’ve ever been motivated to actually write feedback to apple about a feature. So aggravating and user-hostile. The first few time…

I use µ for microns or micrometers µm. Option + m. Also if you need ad-hoc bullets, just reach for option + 8. • Like this. The difficulty in accessing symbols like these is one of…

Assuming we take the statement "more free market equals more efficient outcome" as always and absolutely true, it raises the question: Are the healthcare-related needs of a society…

Are there any alternatives to Github that offer similar bang for the buck? Particularly for very small teams or solo devs that need private repos? The author here specifically ment…

Under $100: Not really a purchase, but a habit that involved several purchases. Making L. Reuteri "Yogurt" using half & half, biogaia tablets, mason jars, and a sous vide. Helped w…

I started a few months ago. Reddit's /r/homelab has lots of great resources, and you can get some good deals through /r/homelabsales, though the best deals usually go quickly. Like…

GTD, BASB, bullet journals, org-mode, todoist… What do we do? There are infinite methods, tools, apps, and only so many hours in a day. Do you just keep trying tools/methodologies …

They're both worth getting. I haven't finished either game, so I can't talk about end-game value for either, but it certainly feels to me like Turing Complete is an educational gam…

My local library system has had this for years. I’ve always wondered why it’s not more ubiquitous. You put your stack of books on the counter, and the titles appear on a confirmati…
