    I enjoyed the humor and the ending, it reminds me of some DOS games I grew up with. Nice work Neal :) Clicker games can be considered banal, but when there is an interesting unexpe…

    There are limitations depending on the state, the workaround is to 'no fault evict' tenants, have the property vacant and re-advertise. At least one state has banned 'no fault evic…

    The maintenance costs on this would be enormous! I sail regular old boring wind powered boats, and I have to admit, if I could afford this I'd probably buy it! Saying that though, …

    Why is the CIA telling us _now_ is a much more interesting question.

    I tried to hit the 600 post limit by scrolling through my feed quickly, after about 2.5 minutes the tweets I was being shown were mostly the same ones but on a loop. I kept scrolli…

    The yachts they can disable are the smaller, wind powered ones. Probably not the kind of boat you had in mind. A sinking yacht it a serious threat to life but, hey, it's pretty nea…

    What country are you in? I have YouTube Premium and I don't get _any_ ads at all from YouTube, only the sponsored segments from creators directly (and no, NordVPN, I don't need a V…

    The sponsored segments as in advertising that creators have negotiated directly? I have YouTube Premium and that's the only type of ad I get, I don't get anything else.

    The warning screenshot posted in the article says that you can enjoy YouTube without ads if you sign up for Premium.

    Templated output means you could build flexible user interfaces to interact in novel ways beyond a mere text input. What I find absolutely incredible right now is that any novel id…

    I've wondered if despite instruction it forgets due to a context limit. There's a lot I still don't understand. I found if it forgot to format in a certain way you could 'remind it…

    Induction is the best of both worlds, but you do have to have induction pans. Stainless steel last a lifetime, and are not _that_ expensive, and you can also use cast iron!

    My fridge has touch buttons, and they often go haywire and reprogram the desired temperature! They at least beep while the ghost is interacting with them, so I can go and make sure…

    My top of the line Android Auto compatable head unit is pretty ordinary. A RAM mount on the windscreen holding my phone is significantly more responsive!

    It's often of poor quality and not in 4k. I rented a movie from YouTube the other day and the stream supported HDR, and if I had a 5.1 surround that would have worked, too! If you'…

    I've been a subscriber to basically everything for years. The only reason I haven't cancelled 90% of them is because my retired parents use my accounts. I almost never use the stre…

    And for some reason half of the world have port and starboard channel markers as red and green, and the other are green and red. I don't know who's fault that is!

    Is this available as a feature in xmind or is this an idea postured to potential competitors?

    That is incredible! What hours on average do the contractors put in per week? That's such an interesting story, I'll have to read your book!
