Outside of a ribeye, I much prefer pork and eat it way more often. I'm rather selfishly afraid that everyone running from beef is going to cause the pork price to skyrocket, but I …

It's one of those things that you have to experiment for yourself I think. You'll get tons of advice, I already saw sous vide, reverse sear, 30 second flip, etc. My favorite? I jus…

The main point I think is density - for their size datacenters typically don't hire many people.

Office buildings presumably are filled with bodies who get paid, who will spend some amount of money in the local economy. I'm not sure data centers could make the same argument.

Agreed and disagreed. It is a terrible precedent for sure. On the other hand, government inaction, usually hiding behind arcane codes, process, and blame circles gets really frustr…

Did "always free" ever really work? When I set mine up months ago, the advice was use PAYG with free tier, because Always Free would always report it had no capacity available. Sur…

This is completely dystopian. Did he have the worst legal defense possible, or are Canadian laws such that an IP address is sufficient for any claimed charges to just stick?

You do you, but I'd ask in earnest people please don't. Cats are invasive to the US and wreak havoc on local wildlife populations. Where I live, so many people feed the ferals that…

Same...well I'll always remember it as ZDTV. Maybe it was my youth, but I remember how exciting tech was then - cool new websites, gadgets, services, etc. I haven't followed him mu…

I'm mixed on this. They may not(or may) write elegant code, but they have clear intent about its parameters and purpose. I've seen LLMs mess up numbers by order of magnitude on mul…

Honestly, it's always been that way for a lot of things. Ten years ago I remember trying to make the ultimate home pizza, spent over $30 in ingredients and realized it's cheaper to…

I'm not sure it would ever make sense to be. That makes the assumption tons of allocations get made that don't live long, which was(maybe is still?) more common in some languages. …

That's smart. Do they do it with roads also? That's a big one near me - developers buying hundred acre farms on unpainted 2 lane country roads and jamming in 2000 houses. Then inev…

Absolutely - Kubota is extremely popular as well. But there will always be that faction who doesn't consider it because of who owns it.

Brand name/heritage, and not much competition. I think there are only two US based companies left in business.

It's almost nonintuitive(at least to me) how many ways there are to tie the same knot. I must have watched 15 different snell techniques before I found one that seemed simple enoug…

There was no luck involved, just stealing and legal swindling.

Hate to sound like a cable company, but same. I have 8/8 available to me for barely more money, but I just don't need it. Sites don't load faster, movies don't play clearer, and I …

The original page actually loads fine, maybe was restored later? I looked through a few trying not to read the short description and missed a lot of simple things, really makes you…

I thought after the DVD era surely we'd get something more akin to SD cards or flash drives instead of more discs, really disappointed we ended up with Blu Ray.

Not a knock against your phone, but different company. Lenovo now owns and makes the cell phone line. Motorola Solutions, the successor of the original Motorola, does the headsets/…

This is natural and even logically expected. It's just Gell-Mann amnesia in action. The world has more people spouting on things than it has people knowledgeable in said things. Ap…

Because the writing is on the wall already. Who hasn't been annoyed with "AI customer service", we already read about AI in the military, then you have the envisioned huge loss of …

Huge fan of anything with the Powermatic 80. Mine gains about 3 seconds per day. I wear a Rado but I believe both Tissot and Hamilton also offer this movement.
