Are you sure about this? I don't have any illusions about my place in the universe. I'm a tiny speck of dust in the grand machine of reality, and I'm okay with this.

My go-tos are Lifehack ( not Lifehacker) and Tiny Buddha. The advice is often very practical and has little/no moralizing.

Some of the better subreddits require a "submission statement," which is pretty much this.

The fitness program is a nice perk.

I wonder if this is any different for gay/bi guys. If what I've seen on Grindr is any clue, we'll probably look even pickier than straight women.

I want a variety of options for dealing with people who aren't persuaded by "why do you even care though" or "love is love."

That's not always the case. Personally, I lean toward bisexual homoromantic. This kind of split attraction is probably more common than it seems, but we didn't have language or a c…

People still have trouble wrapping their heads around the fact that same-gender attraction (at least in humans) is about more than sex.

Telegram already has all the pieces needed to add voice chat on all the platforms it supports. I wouldn't be surprised if eating Skype's lunch is part of their monetization plan.

This would all make sense if D2D were a publisher. It's a distributor like Smashwords. I doubt the hits are doing that much subsidizing. eBooks are tiny files, and storage is cheap…

It's a no-brainer if their offering appeals to you. For me, it does not. I get the stuff they offer for free/cheap from other services, and they tend to have a better selection for…

Draft2Digital is much less of a pain. They'll even handhold problematic manuscripts through the process.

I'm quite happy with existing speeds. The problem is data caps.

There are many excellent, paying science fiction/fantasy collections out there. You need to set yourself apart in a way that convinces people to trust their stories to you (who we …

I don't buy enough in a year to justify it.

Not exactly tech-related (aside from the abundance of furries in technology), but stories of organizational failure seem to do well here.

That data goofiness issue is pretty much use case #1 for Mechanical Turk. Pay a bunch of people a few cents to do a sensibility check on the data, collect 10 for each item, and put…

That's why you don't see any cars in long exposures of highways.
