I moved to a small-medium city in a more rural part of the US, from SF, about 6 months ago. It truly is beautiful from a nature perspective but the car-forward culture and lack of …

Agreed - there's no professional ethicist quoted here and the argument seems to be against abusive pet breeding and keeping practices. Absolutely, people should stop giving money t…

Also donated. Hopefully the shelter gets some visibility with your post :)

That's unfortunately not the case for ebikes. I've been looking at ebikes for a while and several highly rated manufacturers only offer 1 size of ebike and are too big for me (e.g.…

That's really interesting! I've heard great things about Canlis but never had a special enough occasion to go, and I moved away from Seattle last year. I would have loved to try th…

I feel similar. I worked best wfh 1 day a week, whenever I had a sizeable chunk of work that required concentration time, as my open office is impossible for that. I run to work ot…

I think OP's point remains though, right? A stationary bike gives all the upsides (increase in health) and 0 of the downsides of riding outside (death).

I feel like the author had the right idea to try to form smaller subcommunities first, but there's something predatory about targeting people battling cancer.

I had a similar reaction when I lived in Austin. I'd walk down 6th street (one of the streets with active nightlife) and bars would leave their doors open with air conditioning bla…

That seems fair? They might have cars then. It seems you're imaging a scenario of a specific single woman with slight muscle mass with her 100lb dog and no car living in the heart …

I guess it depends where you live. My city (SF) allows dogs on public transit in off peak hours. The 24/7 animal hospital is 1.5 miles away from my apartment. If it were a real eme…

I thoroughly enjoyed the article. I'm against dog racing, and still am after reading the article, but it was very thought-provoking and I loved the pictures.

It just means you have a lot of 1s and 5s laying around as you usually want small denominations for tipping, which (in my opinion) is a lot of cash to have in the house. It also me…

Mm, good point. My use case is usually that I'll walk up to 40 minutes 1 way if I need a cable or something like that (non perishable, semi urgent) etc, but am not willing to walk …

Yep. My use case for scooters is when the bus will take too long to get me to/from work, or running errands, or when I'm too tired/it's too far to walk. I decide that I need it at …

You're not considered a transfer student when you do Running Start. As long as you haven't actually graduated high school when taking the community college classes, you're consider…

You're using the ad infinitum fallacy. At no point did anyone mention that no one should not use professional breeders. The point is, "most people don't know how to find a professi…

That's totally fair, and I don't disagree. If someone's interested enough in the sport to purchase a dog specially bred for it, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect them do th…

> How confident are you in selecting a shelter dog which might live with you for another 10, 12 years, versus a dog from a breeder that you know the genealogy of (and therefore the…

I'm not a fan of needing a name/gender in the title, because I think having a FOSS mixtape is interesting enough to the readers on HN. That said, I really like this mixtape - I'll …

That seems like a deliberately obtuse response. It could just as easily be a family member, roommate, or some neighbor that offered to help you set your Alexa up. The fact that it …

As a single data point, I've only played the switch with a TV once or twice, when I was playing with friends.

Is your trainer in the bay area? I'd be interested in a trainer that is good at those things; or if anyone else has a trainer in San Francisco that does those things, please commen…

I've worn it camping. It helps to have a little water to rinse it out, but I think it's significantly better than having to carry tampons and figure out what to do with them after …

I would be shocked if this were the case, as the cup sits lower than IUDs (e.g. I would expect sex to be more intrusive to the IUD than the cup).
