I am actually working on a project where I have scraped ~400k recipes, and now am in the process of wrapping them in a little search engine. The idea is to have a little python/nod…

Prior to covid, yes. I haven't eaten McDonald's since covid, but in college I would use the app + whatever promotional "buy one get one" coupons they had going on to hit some devio…

The implication in what you just said is that Israel having total control over Palestinian territory is taken for granted. They can wiretap with ease due to their illegal occupatio…

This is pretty common, Israel has previously spied on the ICC and intimidated a prosecutor: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-05-28/ty-article/.p... Not to mention the wiret…

Maybe "no reason" was a bad word choice. I would say that regardless of the reason, it doesn't matter to workers. What matters to workers is to have as much power as possible over …

If one studio closes you can imagine the screws are tightening at the others. Unionization arguably wouldn't help for studios closing, but it would help push back against crunch an…

> With how expensive AAA development has gotten maybe that’s the stakes now, and a reason so many are taking the modern Hollywood playbook of churning out sequels and remasters. Th…

I imagine that the closing of Arkane studios Austin was a big motivator for worker's to unionize. They created successful games and Microsoft shut them down for pretty much no reas…

The parent comment's experience does not reflect my relationship with coffee at all. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid, never medicated for it. Just regulated with diet and exerci…

Weird coincidence, just yesterday I cracked open my Appalachian Trail guide to a random page just to scan through it. I opened it to the page with this guy's memorial. I thought "h…

That's a similar but different anecdote. The one I am thinking of he specifically is talking to someone's wife while she is crocheting. It may not have been Feynman though, I CTRL+…

That's a good point.

That's a pretty short list given the length of the roman empire. Shorter than I expected honestly.

Semi-related, I was doing some reading about different cottage industries from antiquity and the feudal era and was wondering if a feudal-era simulator existed that included cottag…

Oh yes, I forgot about Lucretia, that was actually the only other one I know about. That makes two I guess.

Back when that meme of "how often do men think about the roman empire" was going around, I was talking to my girlfriend about it and I noticed how I couldn't name any Roman women o…
