> avoiding all sugar I don't think you understand macros if you think a breakfast of yogurt, berries, and milk is avoiding sugar. Berries are mostly sugar, and lactose is a sugar w…

> apparently, 10 pounds of weight loss is roughly a clothing size [XL → L → M] What? This is so wrong I'm confused how it could have possibly made it in. As a 5'7" guy, I was a M a…

The Japanese word for shadow?

My understanding is that all current Teslas use radial flux motors

It's an odd article, because it claims that shops being open until 10pm (after a siesta break) is the solar-based schedule

The average monthly payment for a used car in the US in 2025 was $532, according to https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/average-car-paym... . This does not count insurance,…

This is a really cool hack, and I wish I could pay for things with a dumb watch. It's just the right level of useful and silly to be up my alley. But the article, as others have me…

Also a "stacked pair" of USB type-A ports, when there are clearly 4

The neat thing about electric cars is that they get cleaner as the grid gets cleaner. If you bought an EV in 2015 (when this report was published) and were worried about the grid m…

You're gonna have to locate yourself for this comment to make any sense. Plenty of places still get snow regularly in winter, and nothing humans can do will change that

> only available for Mac so far, sorry! Is there a plan to change this? Building on Electron should make it manageable to go cross-platform. 2026 will be the year of the Linux desk…

Yes, this was in fact an explanation of a joke. "In Soviet Russia, Rome is a poor city" requires both a currently-existing Soviet Russia, and Rome to be a part of it. Both of those…
