I bought one just before the end. No ragrets. There are definitely some software quirks (the rear cross traffic alert always points the wrong direction) but overall I like it.

Yeah, I think it’s a form of the survivorship bias. Not too long ago, based on a discord voice conversation, I listened to the top 100 songs from 1977. One of the top 100 was Ariel by Dean Friedman. If you think that’s a great song, you’re higher than he was when he recorded it.

Wow, a whole $1 million. They’ll notice that for like seven seconds.

What do you think the Great Filter is?

The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi...

AFAIK there is no known energy source that would keep a generation ship powered for the duration of an interstellar flight.

The person to whom you responded is half right. The speed of light is half of the barrier to interstellar travel. Entropy is the other half.

I don’t like garlic bread. Don’t really like garlic much at all. Thank you for your kind wishes.

Just started watching the movie again about ten minutes ago

How do you get people to wash their vegetables when you're at their house and you don't wanna seem rude?

So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing....

There are a lot of people who think, largely due to misinformed cooking shows, that you shouldn't wash mushrooms, just wipe them off.

If you want them washed, maybe say "Hey, I can help out by washing those for you."

From Serious Eats:

First off, it's true: mushrooms do absorb water when you wash them, but it's only about 2% of their total weight, or, translated to volume, that's about 1 1/2 teaspoons of water per pound, which in turn translates to an extra 15 to 30 seconds of cooking time.

"Soggy" is an exaggeration.

This Bread I Break by Dylan Thomas

It’s a short, beautiful poem that laments man’s destructive relationship with nature.

Does the USA have any open market cellular options that are legitimate pay-as-you-go and only for what you use options like Europe yet?

I've lived under a rock for 10 years. I did Metro ages ago while most were still on contracts. Surely we've reached true capitalist open market freedom by now. Is it still total closed market, noncompetitive, privateering corruption?

You can sorta get close with MVNOs like Tello. I have a plan that’s $6.16/month, including taxes.

You’re sort of right and sort of very wrong. There are a lot of badly built mobile homes, and some very well built tiny homes, for sure. Unfortunately the large majority of tiny home companies have avoided complying with the national building codes and are instead building only to RV standards. That’s not to say they aren’t doing good work, but RVIA standards are well short of NBC in terms of safety and durability. That’s why you’ll usually see a disclaimer on tiny builder sites saying their homes aren’t meant for long term full time occupancy. It’s also why getting affordable insurance for a tiny home is very expensive and difficult.

I can't comprehend why you'd put a link to a summary of the original article (a freaking mobile link to boot) instead of the original story.

Seriously, fuck IMDB and fuck amazon.

Pandora, because I like to pick one song or band and have it create a radio station for me. I've tried most of the other services that say they do the same thing and none of them are nearly as good at it as Pandora.

Being that low to the ground seems like it would be a bit suicidal on American roads without a totally protected bike lane. A lot of our ridiculous SUVs would have a bumper right about skull height to that thing.

It’s nice to see an actual technology post, instead of business news about tech and tech adjacent companies which is the usual fare here

This is why I give things away to friends and friends of friends. If they ask to borrow something that I'm happy to get rid of, I tell them they can borrow it on the condition that they never bring it back or even mention it to me again.
