Why should Instagram, a FREE social networking site where you share pictures and videos be a utility?! There are countless ways to accomplish the same thing, including email and text, both of which are also (thankfully) not utilities.
What machine do you recommend? I've thought about having a custom router but I have wondered both if it is worth it and what machine I should use.
I pity the Joneses.
I do wish it was a little better in layout, but it's not too bad. I have been impressed with it so far for the price. My biggest gripe is I wish the effort for flashy RGB lights went into key lighting instead. I still hunt and peck sometimes at night.
I was getting hand fatigue from my laptop keyboard and decided to look into split keyboards. I tried a variety of Kinesis keyboards but I didn't like the build quality or inconsistency in features between models. I ended up settling with the Mistel MD770 which is a compact split keyboard in a traditional QWERTY layout. I found that was all that was really needed. I still use my laptop a ton, but I switch it up just enough with the split one to keep fatigue at bay. This goes the same for using a trackball with my left hand and a mouse with my right.
At the end of the day the solution for me is to move in different ways and to build strength to combat fatigue. The trouble to adapt to Dvorak or curved, exceptionally ergonomic layouts isn't worth it for me, nor is the cost.
I was worried by the size of this reply that it was some kind of copy-pasta at first. That doesn't seem the case. I am genuinely interested in digesting this and giving you a thoughtful reply, but it will take some time.
Why do you find profits unethical as an anarchist? Capitalism is not a form of government.
I solved this problem with dim lamps and no other lights. When the sun goes down my natural light goes away, and the lamps are just the right brightness. Much easier and no fiddling with automation.
The best way to learn vim is to use vim.
I feel this way as well. In fact every time I have tried to remember the "most beautiful equation" I had to think of it in the context of the unit circle and work it out by assigning pi to x. Otherwise I don't get any wow out of it.
I agree with you for the most part. I can see the appeal for flipping certain switches, like something I tend to turn on/off at the same time everyday. Otherwise I try to simply have less things to turn on/off!
The events of the past 2 years have convinced me that even a small UBI can still have a large effect
Can you expand on this. What events have convinced you? Fwiw I'm trying not to be an idiot ;)
Plenty of people, including me, fill tires with free air at gas stations which gets them in the door. It's not surprising that cheap tire pressure gauges would be sold near the checkout, unrelated to drug use.
deeply unsettling
Care to elaborate? What about the logo makes you feel this way?
Why not delete the first line and replace the rest of the comment symbols with triple back ticks? Seems good enough for jazz to me.
sed -e 's/\/\*/```/g' -e 's/\*\//```/g' -e '1d' <yourfile>They're simply called mopeds in my book. We don't call electric cars, e-cars.
I would suggest a steel frame with disc brakes. Suspension is a nice bonus. If it can carry a fat person it can carry a healthy person with battery and motor.
I strapped a no-name Chinese kW hub motor kit and a nice battery on a $100 steel mountain bike I grabbed off Craigslist. I've ridden in downpours, through snow and ice you name it. The bike kicks butt and was way cheaper than a car, not to mention quiet and super easy maintenance. I'm not surprised they're getting more popular. I hope small electric vehicles take over.
What is surprising about people wanting to fit in with one another? There is nothing new about monkey see monkey do.
I drive in silence. I don't understand why some people feel the need to _always_ be listening to something.
The idea is that underwater basket weaving has no utility in the real world, not that it is easy.
Bummer. This is solely how I keep alive my old iMac. You know why? Because of the near-impossible-to-replace drive inside of it!
Programming is hard to grasp for some people. Local scope is the least of their worries and is altogether not that hard to understand. The County::State::City analogy where every item is a Place is an easy introduction to the concept.
I went back to my iPod. Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, they all suck compared to good ol' mp3s at my leisure.
Birds are also much smaller than you and I. Bugs, fish, humans etc can all navigate a complex environment at speed.
About the only thing I find addicting on my phone is checking the weather everyday. My working hypothesis is that many people want to waste (or spend, call it what you want) their time on their devices, so they install applications that will help them do so.
I doodle, paint, use Blender, you name it. Tech and art are my two biggest past times.
Hell yeah! I have often thought about open source in the agriculture world. I would love to contribute to this space.
I never could understand what was addictive. I kept my account for a few years because I used the chat and posted art my friends and family would enjoy. When I got a smartphone I quit the platform since I could do that stuff on my phone's messaging app. Only thing that seems appealing to me now is the marketplace versus Craigslist.
I've never felt a sensation of peering into the future. I can see it as a possibility depending on which end of the phenomenon you're processing first, the actual event or the repeated signal.
