That’s all reasonable, and everyone is different , but I do think your original comment needed pushback, because meditation is often portrayed as enjoyable and easy at least in cer…

I am not a slow reader, but I realized what you did - that these books give me a chance to engage with the topic and if I spend enough time with a subject, I might learn something …

I really think this depends on the job. As soon as I read your initial comment, I thought about locums in medicine, people who float for as little as a weekend at a time, and as a …

I think i can handle this code by hand in fact it’s better than code I have handled by hand. (at a cursory glance.) In my day - I think it was around 2000 – I was handed a 5000 lin…

I knew the answer was no - but I was curious, the nearest locker is a 2h10m drive each way. Which is about an hour closer than I thought it would be.

I did do that. And I think that most of the drivers are not local and the comments just made it more likely they would skip on doing what was going to be clearly a difficult delive…

What this mainly says to me is that my life is going to get much worse - as Amazon logistics cannot deliver to my house. I used to be a big user of Amazon prime, but they recently …

I don’t think most people can do this 100% of the time. I actually think if you can do this 100% of the time you’re probably a zen master. I think most people over the age of 25 ca…

I do ranch work in a place with a lot of iron in the soil. I often have these sand sized grains of dirt in my port. But I had it in a lightning days as well. I just hate ports. Bef…

But cloudflare is also just difficult, I’m on Starlink (because where I am my only other option is Hughes net), and my browser of choice is Safari. No vpn, and only boring ad block…

I liked the apple II, and the TRS 80 as I rather like basic. And then I didn’t hate DOS, and then I actively hated the graphical shell of Windows 3, but could not afford a Macintos…

Or they can blame Apple for delivering a developer experience to those companies that makes those companies not want to play ball. Not that they likely will, as Apple owns the fram…

You know, sometimes it doesn’t and sometimes it does. And also I’ve been known to forget it overnight and wake up to moldy clothes. I have a friend who will say things like “I have…

I am pretty sure this is not true. I recall my mother’s family conversing via mail in the early 80’s - and she would write one 10 page letter a month as a reply (max) - that would …

This is not always a bad thing. The example I always use of why it’s good that Amazon has knock off parts, is a Jacuzzi heating element. Amazon has them for $30, but has none of th…

Also for kids at least, sometimes they really will be happier with less choice. Sometimes kids make bad decisions and limiting choice to good options is helpful. Additionally the i…

Sadly not flat and not open. But more far flung repeaters are an option as I have electricity further from the house. However the TDeck being hard to use makes it unlikely the kid …

I am so glad that he did this and I did not. I’d seriously been considering trying meshcore out, as I live on several hundred acres without cell service, and I’d like some means of…

This is going to be painful for people in a way which I haven’t seen discussed here yet. A year ago I went on vacation with my family, and the kids wanted to watch Netflix on VRBO‘…

My sixth grader has classmates who call 20-year-olds boomers, at least when the 20-year-olds are doing things they don’t like. It really just means someone I don’t like who’s older…

Interestingly, I have yet to find I have the horrible feedback problem people are talking about in this thread with my APP3, but I do in my Honeywell syncs, about 1 day in 3. And a…

I’m not sure if that’s true. The number of times I’ve opened FFmpegs man page must number in the hundreds. I think I’m a pretty good conceptually, but I can’t remember all the flag…

The conclusion is, it is much better until they cut the coating. However, it feels more like plastic than it does like fabric.
