Oh thank you!

This article existing strikes me as a sign its at least in some context a fad. If someone uses a tool, in this case vintage digicams i guess, to make a piece of art and the use of …

Hedging your bets some will die before they get it/all of it? Keeping your employees sustained while also not giving them enough immediate overhead for creating any kind of wealth?…

This is not my impression of how things generally go with China.

"Another reason why the Capitol and the White House wouldn’t want to see Intel fail is because it’s one of America’s top exporters, with its export revenue in 2023 exceeding $40 bi…

Me too! It's my go-to large text file manipulator. It's also what I keep open all the time to paste things into since it's so easy to open a new tab and it keeps temp files of thin…

"...allow us to lead fairly rich lives outside of Warcraft." I didn't get the impression from the article it was otherwise, just that this young man found what he was looking for i…

It really is a difficult thing to heal and a difficult thing to know when you've healed. Same with grief. And you're right it takes - relative to our lifespan - a rather long time …

You really do have to protect yourself. I think at some point I felt like if I set boundaries I'd get fired, then I realized if I didn't set boundaries I'd go insane which seemed w…

I agree, Tim Sweeney sucks. It was still an interesting interview.
