I feel like I've lived in enough places and they're pretty small relatively speaking but whatever, seems like we'll see how it actually plays out. I'm not saying it's going to rand…

So, these streets are so tiny and pedestrians are used to just walking out on crosswalks because most people stop at crosswalks

So… you didn’t read it? This comment is wild and entertaining!

Another cool article on beavers’ measured impact in Idaho after they were reintroduced from NASA: https://appliedsciences.nasa.gov/our-impact/story/researcher...

They don't buy a laptop but a seat for some amount of years. So they're guaranteed X amount of laptops for Y years. The selling company is obviously going to min/max this contract …

One of the reasons to not cut your hair and wear a turban is that a Sikh can't hide out in a crowd. You always know who is Sikh. This coupled with the mandate that a Sikh must alwa…

It's very easy to adapt (as an immigrant). It's not rocket science. I wonder what the argument is going to be since it's way easier with the internet now to be primed already.

I must have tried ~15 or 20 times to quit. I mean really, going at least a week without smoking. I was ~1 pack a day. It stuck the last time, and it's been 5 years I think? People …

Look again, they are back. City did a trial for 3 or 4 companies and gave a permit to 2 this time around. So they’re back for a while.

I believe the miners are buying up the chips not the cards anymore

In a lot of states you used to be able to get the address of a license plate with $5 in admin fees. Not sure if that is still allowed.

Wow! super helpful!

none for me on the 2018 model. Pretty much love it. I did have the older one 2 models ago, which did have the whine, but I bought it at a discount because of that.

It does drain, maybe 2%/hr but I thought that was normal? That's what I expect to get on a Mac. I did have to `echo XHC > /proc/acpi/wakeup` because I would shut the lid, but somet…

Have a Dell XPS 13 (2018) edition, NixOS w/ minimal gnome install works like a charm! NixOS config: https://gist.github.com/Ortuna/b6e95d6baefd2a1683ddd848f485b...

The article is talking about remote areas (NZ - Lord of the Rings), beaches, camping trails etc. These areas didn't get a lot of traffic. Now they do which is leading to the undesi…

Have he new 9370 with NixOS, no cool whine. Although I had it on the one I had 2 models ago. WiFi and Bluetooth work fine for me. So maybe they’ve worked the kinks out?

I feel like these things are made to be found. They undermine our election process and democracy.

Neat! I have a similar project for your code https://commits.io

It's totally worth $200. Same person has probably splurged on something they deem is worth $200.

This type of article might be the step to demystifying photography. But the story I get told over and over again (not directly, but by exposure) is about the photographer that trav…

That would seem like the strategy used. Mark all the low ratings as "fake" until the business stops paying. Just do a review again. "ohh these weren't fake" reviews and restore the…
