98% don’t use periods. ;)

I find that my sourdough starter’s smell is noticeably more yogurty (lactic acid) and less tangy (acetic) when I add a tiny amount of food grade calcium to the water. There’s a sim…

I really enjoyed “The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister's Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine.” About early surgery and the discovery and adoption of anti-septics…

FaceID still works for this, for me. I do not have to enter my password for purchases.

Given the potential consequences of a mistake, it feels like there's still a pretty big difference between "nearly flawless" and flawless. Speed control I'm fine with and is obvs. …

That makes sense and I appreciate the reply. I'd probably choose not to grab a beer -- unless the social cost/effort in saying no was higher than saying yes. Quite likely I'd feel …

I like the straightforward, logical approach -- it's helpful for me to think about the process in those terms. Thank you. However, thinking about the process this way makes it real…

I read the title and looked at the graphical abstract. :) You’re right in that the LCD did not seem to improve MetS (the focus of the paper), but it looked to me like there were be…

That’s a good point. Though AI should be millions(?) of times faster and get to those leaps quicker…but can it? Would be very cool to see that experiement.

This article (and the concept of “business war games”) brought me back to one of the first computer games I ever played: Lemonade Stand on the Apple II.[1] Sounds like Lemonade Sta…

Esoteric Latin joke? HN rules. I find hard c marketing is still more effective in US post/pandemic economy.

Tic-Tac-Toe? A strange game. A&A and Supremacy were our go-tos.

Totally agreed and well said. It can be easy to read too much into something (especially when people are learning how to understand literature in high school), but some level of de…

I don't fully disagree, but I am constantly judging others (much to my dismay). And, then I also see articles like "Research indicates that only about half of perceived friendships…

Similar: I think of it as the "I'm not crazy and/or dangerous" indicator. It also allows you to assess how compatible you'll be conversationally. It's the handshake portion of the …

Brilliant! (I just wish it was easier to tell which ones were in 5.1.)

The other downside is you only get 2 channel audio.

> My theory with money: the less your customer has, the more important appearances are. Your specific example may have more to do with proximity to the customer.

Not repeating, correcting.

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

So, I see something, but feel I must be missing the pièce de résistance here. There's a background covered with parallelograms and the words "Mother-Fucking Lasers" that flash ever…

I'm impressed it has the smoot and evens includes a reference: http://spectrum.lbl.gov/www/personnel/smoot/smoot-measure.ht... .

Pwdhash is another option. There's a firefox plugin for it that I use.
