I'm the author. I'm married but don't have kids. I distinctly remember when I first visited Hilo, Hawaii when I was 15, thinking that if I had to be homeless there, it would be bet…

Haha I doubt it too.

Happy to hear it! --Tynan

Tynan here. I've bought small apartments with groups of friends in Hilo, Budapest, Tokyo, and bought a small island in Canada. My share of all four of those cost under $50k. So mos…

We currently have a lot of tariffs. Should we remove all of them, some of them, or do we have exactly the correct amount?

PinballFX is video game pinball. VisualPinballX is more of a simulation. Of course the simulation isn't 100% accurate, but it's shockingly close. Medieval Madness was one of my fav…

Haha-- I've had the exact same idea with all of the extra hardware I have sitting around too. GMTA

I'm the author of the post that you mentioned inspired you last year. It was fun to read your post as I tinker on my 2nd virtual pinball cabinet. I now have 4 real pinballs and bui…

Vegas, a city with very high quality of life and reasonable real estate prices, has SYN Shop for $50/mo https://synshop.org/

Just to chime in and add another datapoint, I switched to Kagi and expected that I'd eventually go back to Google (like I had when I switched to DDG), but the results are just as g…

Very anecdotal (just the experience of me and my friends, who have a total of 5 new sterns between us), but I think there's not much maintenance. These things are made for commerci…

Cool! Love the game, by the way. Feels like it's a bit underrated because of the golf theme, but it's one of my favorite multiballs and I like the progression of the scorecard.

Very cool! Thank you for letting me know!

Author of the post here. My first game (No Good Gofers) is relatively simple, but I still haven't gotten to all of the advanced modes on it. More than that, just learning different…

Author here... the best guide is http://mjrnet.org/pinscape/BuildGuideV2/BuildGuide.php The thing that matters most is having a 120hz screen, and I'd argue that 4k/OLED are equally…

Author here... minimalist might be a little bit outdated. A friend wrote the about for me because he was annoyed that I didn't have one. FWIW I do still only wear one set of clothe…

X1 Carbon feels a lot nicer to me than a Macbook. It's also lighter than a Macbook air and has a bigger screen and better keyboard. Macbooks are better than about 95% of PC laptops…

Artelino.com is one of the best sites to purchase at (recommended to me by the creator of ukiyo-e.org). I got into woodblock prints just because I happened to see a great exhibit a…

This is an incredible site that is invaluable for anyone involved in woodblocks. Japanese woodblocks are also a great way to get into art. You can get the same exact prints that ar…

Extremely well. Everything works except for the fingerprint sensor.

Small anecdote that may help someone: I finally got RSI. I knew it would happen eventually since I'm on my computer all the time, so I just accepted it. When the pain in my wrist b…

Check out NoteCasePro. It's the only solution I could find that allows me to sync an encrypted file myself that I could open in Android and Linux (/windows/mac). It has a ton of ad…
