Same here, but when a site completely fails in Firefox I either A) use my phone because mobile Firefox occasionally works or B) use Ungoogled Chromium. https://github.com/ungoogled…

...I get different numbers depending on which eye I use, but both are fairly center. I didn't expect blue-green to be affected though! My left eye can't see certain shades of red a…

This. Right now, I'm assuming you're all humans, and so are all my coworkers, and the other people driving cars around me and etc. How easy is it to dehumanize actual humans? If I …

Or, god forbid, stupid creature that I am, I buy _the wrong flavor food_. Then it's all "why are you trying to poison me, hooman? do you not love me anymore??"

It really depends on where you live. I've found this site useful: https://xerces.org/pollinator-conservation/pollinator-friend... Make a few beds and allow them to be "wild" based …

I wish. I got a Dell laptop for work and they've replaced the right Ctrl key with a Copilot key, and (because it's a locked-down work sysyem) the only thing I can remap that to is …

I've heard good things about Tidal ( https://tidal.com ) but it's not open source afaik.

We had a feeder just outside our floor-to-ceiling windows. Whenever the feeder ran out the Anna's hummingbirds would hover a couple inches from the glass, staring in at us like lit…

Some of us knew it, but it's getting worse. And I've worked adjacent to or on marketing teams for the the last decade... and I can't explain why but my theory is they all trust the…

My mom once opened the wrong '89 Dodge Caravan when grocery shopping in the early nineties, and it wasn't until she got in to drive that she realized it wasn't hers. She said the s…

This. This is definitely part of the problem. I can't even offer to take my kid & his friends anywhere, other than walk to the park after they're deposited at my house, because eve…

Thank you for making this podcast, not just this post, but all of it. I now know how I will be participating in the creation of reality for the foreseeable future (at least as it a…

I had the same setup in school- alternating schedules- and had to keep my schedule printed out in my bag to reference between almost every class, every day. I still have dreams (ni…

No idea if it'll last 40-50 years, but I've used this probably about 10(?), and it's been great. You do need a small funnel to fill it though. It's not the standard size or functio…

Sure, for some women, but let's not generalize. Personally, I hate carrying a purse, and the new phones don't even fit in the pocket inside my purse. Plus, I miss being able to rea…

No, I don't think they're projecting, I think you've been highly fortunate. Track is not a good example, at least in my case. Our coaches spent ZERO time with those of us who weren…

There was a corporate office park I encountered once that had a pond, and they had swans in it. The swans entertained themselves by chasing office workers to and from the carpark e…

Oh this is by no means limited to ancient times, try giving any two young children the same amount of food, but cut into different sized pieces - smaller cuts result in more pieces…

Usually moderates can be either party, the ones willing to work together from both sides, so in the center. Progressives are generally considered to be the left-leaning democrats. …

Couldn't we have a toggle option somewhere? Just a checkbox for "show all street names"... it can not possibly be that difficult. My spouse can testify, I get furious when I can't …

At one point, we (lead dev (me) and lead designer) colluded to submit a terrible homepage design to a nit-picky CMO to buy an extra 2wks of development time. She'd given us 6wks to…

As someone who has lived in both Boston and San Francisco.... I'd choose Boston's infrastructure any day. We complained about it constantly, and then we came to SF. And desperately…

Yep, fainted so, so many times... Always seems to happen after getting hurt on or near a nerve for me - or after a blood draw. Was scary the first time, embarrassing and annoying e…
