That’s cool it just reads like an onion piece.

This article has to be satire…

Typically at this level the scales will be performed in more difficult variations, e.g. the right hand plays starting on the third or 6th note of the scale. There are also cases of…

> Tick-Tick I read this as Tik Tok. I’m ashamed to admit I spent a good moment trying to figure how someone could use Tik Tok for GTD :)

Maybe I’m just bad at Vim (though I use Vim keys anywhere possible), bit I’m starting to wonder if Vim combos crowd mental space that would be better used for programming. It does …

> Pressuring a foreign leader to investigate potential corruption Right, anti-corruption Trump. Just stealing classified documents, installing his kids (and fucking son-in-law) in …

Abusing power to get re-elected is not the same as abusing power to advantage one's son in their career. Again, both unsavory. "literally the same story"?

Calling it the "mother of all conflicts of interest" is inviting a direct comparison to other conflicts of interest, unless words have no meaning. I'm suggesting they do, and what …

It’s definitely unsavory, but absolutely nothing compared to the conflicts of interest under Trump, ironically even in Ukraine. Remember the withheld US money used to blackmail for…

And AR-15s hurt no one. Yet they are purposed to have massive killing power against humans, and massively amplify the damage a single ill person can do. Hypothetically there could …

If I say, “EXERCISE is a physical activity” in the context of a discussion about physical exercise, and you say “No, EXERCISE can also be a mental exercise” you are being 100% asin…

Emacs would like to have a word. But seriously, that would not be an important feature to me. Obviously everyone has their preferences.

Why is your tone so angry and condescending? In context, the GP is just saying that cardio and reading is not really equivalent to mediation. He's not wrong.

As someone who enjoys all of those activities I will say that meditation offers something that those activities do not offer. There is an inner clarity that can be found in a much …

That music is terrible. Why don’t we automate away sex and conversation, too, while we’re at it.

I don't think downvotes/emojis work the same way as real life human feedback, at all. On places like reddit, downvotes more often than not incite anger or resentment in the recipie…

One thing I heard and have had great results with is pre-melting the butter and skimming off the solids

All good points for reforming the business, but none justify stealing the content, in my view. Voting with the wallet is about abstaining, not stealing. For better or for worse, su…

If a publisher or author doesn't mind, as is the case with the article you linked, that's fantastic. O'reilly is a good business. But it's still stealing. I think if you have the m…

So are you against torrenting copyrighted digital goods then? Because people do exactly that. They steal intellectual property and distribute it for other people to use. Stealing f…

> A store can have a policy like "limit 1 per customer" but that doesn't prevent me from getting 100 of my friends from buying the thing. Sure, and if there's urban chaos, there's …

If I walk in to a record store and buy a CD, I'm not just paying for the paper and plastic that it's made of. I'm paying the record company, the record store, and the artist for th…

There aren't making it publicly available. If they made it publicly available there would be no paywall. It just so happens that people can utilize some code to bypass the paywall.…

I think you would be charged with more than that.

So if I break in to Microsoft, stick a USB in their computers, and steal the source code for Windows, it's not stealing because it's just digital information that's infinitely repr…
