I run 5-6 times a week, and I've run many half and full marathons. I've never loved a run. I always love the feeling of being done with a run.

Glad I'm not entirely alone in having this thought.

Our local community college had a game dev camp in the summer, and that was a great start for my 9yo b/c it had a program for him to follow and kids like himself with whom to learn…

It's probably all the "travel teams" pushing up the averages. In my region travel teams for all sports are out of control. So long as you're willing to pay, your not-really-talente…

EMPs to kill the AI. (I kid. (mostly))

This is very concerning, but I think my bigger, more immediate worry - and one I suspect will happen at a much larger scale in the US, if not the world - is the use of these tools …

Not OP, but reasons that are pretty easy to imagine: - Living in America and suffering from either cancer, heart disease, or any chronic illness. - Have any number of children and …

Exactly. It's an abject failure of journalism if a dozen national journalists aren't currently sorting out why this was the case.

How is this different from an insured cash sweep that practically every other bank offers?

This is right. The dot-com crash was an absolute crash. Not "we're laying off 5-15% of our company." It was a lot of "This media darling that had an IPO after 2 years of operations…

Based on what you say about your parents, I have a feeling a lot of your success here is because you've grown up being shown the way. Congratulations. It's a helluva skill. Many, m…

I'm a bit of a Disney geek, not for their content, but for their business history. I got reading a bio on Walt years ago and was astonished by how much Disney really is a "start up…

You're forgetting the key bit: It was during a pandemic, and so especially during the first 6-12 months, people didn't feel safe being around others. They also often legally didn't…

It's a 2-dose regimen, needs to be stored at -70C, and Pfizer already said they'll only have 1.5B doses over the course of the next year. It's going to be a very slow roll out.

This is a really poor understanding of several things, including, for instance, how the USPS actually handled the ballots. This "randomly shuffled" thing is flat wrong. There's act…

Wisconsin is already heading in that direction. https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2020/09/30/wisconsin-hos... North Dakota has 22 ICU beds left in the state.

NyQuil and Alka Seltzer would beg you not to kill the cash cows. Plus NyQuil and AS can be produced and sold in such a way as to net a profit. We don't know that's the case for a c…

I almost never comment, but the answer here is simple: markets. The common cold doesn't kill. There's almost no economic impetus for a cure. Note, I said "almost." There may be som…

And then the ISP just sells the data in a marketing profile. See also: What Verizon already does.

Yeah. Your grocery stores have known more about you than anyone for decades. And it doesn't look like that's going to change anytime soon, frankly.

Oh yeah. This sounds familiar (6 years at IBM). Very familiar. I wasn't even in the software division. I was in GBS. EVERY thing we did would get discussed and executives would ALW…

This isn't a trade-off that most consumers would consider. The "it's just the cost of a coffee" pitch is a marketing pitch for the mass market. And when the mass market hears it, t…

I'm the OP. Just wanted to share a site some old college buddies started. I think it's a very nice setup. They control the supply chain entirely. They have both an on-demand and su…
