What kind of pizza stone do you use? I have a green egg, but have never made pizza in it.

I don't think the article is claiming kite boarders = computer hackers, but instead is saying that the innovators in the kite boarding community hacked together better kites and rigs using a variety of tools and methods

There is a certain amount of absurdism that you need to buy into, but once you do there is so much to the book (it's also quite funny). DFW dives into themes of addiction, mental health, modernism, etc. He clearly struggled with a lot of these ideas in his own life, and he captures it so well in the cast of characters he creates. I personally found the first 250 pages a little tough, but once I got through that it became hard to put it down.

I was hoping these would be wind powered like his larger sculptures, but I guess it makes sense that it wouldn't be possible with paper

Ezra Klein recently interviewed Anne Helen Petersen (Buzzfeed) and Derek Thompson (The Atlantic) about this topic. I think they hit on a lot of the things I've been feeling and some of the struggles I have trying to think through a fix — we need to shift both structural and personal thinking on this topic.

These are the two articles these authors are known for:

And a US carrier group in the region

Perhaps he could be reminded.

Car just won an award, which would direct him to look up more info about the car and why it's considered good.

Maybe they just made an update to the car model he likes, but is not aware of this change.

I generally agree with this, but it really depends on the consumer not being lazy. We all have the friend that scours the forums, but 10x more friends that just buy the highest rated item on Amazon.

Seconding both of these. However, I might suggest re-ordering and give therapy a shot before you go down the psychiatrist/prescription route.

I just got the new touchbar MacBook — making DND a primary shortcut was an easy way of making this completely frictionless.

For those of you in the Philly area, they are doing a nice exhibit on Bernstein at the American Jewish Museum.

How does an article about slime not mention Nickelodeon?

Having a page that describes the freemium vs pro features would be great. Maybe a simple table with checkboxes

The NYT has a newspaper option:

Not perfect, but it can definitely help eliminate some of the noise.

You should check out Saavn for more Indian music. I worked at their parent company as an intern back in the day.

This was a great rundown of what happened

And unfortunately, it did not go well.

Does anyone know why Hawaii doesn't utilize more geothermal energy? There are a few hits for geothermal projects, but I would have expected these to be much more popular.

I know a few people that even take a ferry every morning into NYC as their commute.

I never would have made it through IJ without my book club. That was our inaugural book and now we're around 15 books deep. One thing that was particularly effective for us was to meet every week, but reading shorter sections. For a book like IJ where it's easy to miss things, this is really useful. Weekly meetings are tough, but it's with a great group of friends and missing a meeting only puts me about 3-5 hours of reading behind.

I wash my jeans every 6-12 months, with occasional febreezing after I wear them. This is way more convenient than having to wash and iron my other pants.

My other alternative are my Outlier pants https://outlier.nyc/

Is the problem you are describing that CRISPR antiviral therapies aren't effective because you don't usually know that you've been infected until, well, after you've been infected?

The way I understand the problem is that the lag time can be rather long, and it's always long enough for the virus to get a good running start. Symptoms, after all, don't occur until things are well under way. So in the real world, the two opportunities for antiviral therapies are (1) something that you can take long before you're even exposed, and that lasts for a long time (like a vaccine) or (2) something that you can take after you've already realized that you're sick (like an antiviral drug).

It seems like the DRACO proteins fall in between these two unless something has changed since the last time I read about this in, I believe, 2012.

Unfortunately, most people read the headline and then decide whether or not they agree with the article. My girlfriend works at a major online media publication and a lot of their Facebook shares and clicks happen before the user has viewed the story.

And they promptly fired Mahbod:

Things at Genius have been pretty controversy-free since 2014.

Countable is a pretty good app for tracking votes and making it easy to contact your representatives. There are also more straightforward sites that track this information, like govtrack.

Hopefully, people are setting up recurring payments that continue to show support for organizations like the ACLU. Then when the next travesty inevitably occurs, they are already supporting the good fight.

Are you a fan of 'Hot Fuzz' or just enjoy the plant? Either way, I would have to second this recommendation. It's nice to look at, hardy, responsive to watering (everything just perks up), and doesn't require a ton of light.

Do you find that this is because you like them but they don't fit well? This became a very apparent category of clothing once I started consistently working out.

This puts my morning, one-eyed phone gazing in context. It definitely feels harder to get that right eye open for the first 1-2 minutes of being awake when I've been roused by my alarm. When I've had a more natural waking, I definitely don't rely on this crutch nearly as often.

I've definitely seen the benefits of agile for my teams, but where it starts to fall apart is when the focus is velocity. This means management doesn't really have a clear goal, only that they are getting somewhere quickly. This leads to burn-out and typically those dev teams have no connection to their customer either.

That may be true, but your assumption is that we would have an all cricket diet
