I remember talking about attaining the proper amount of stress for productivity. Eustress, I think. The idea was that there’s underload and overload, which both cause performance issues, and there’s “load” where it’s the right pressure to operate best. 

The New York Times didn’t need to remove the word. There were other options.

Don’t let them get away with the term “pro-life,” they’re “pro-birth.” Once you’re born you’re on your own. Health care, education, housing, and basic nutritional needs? Lord knows the pro-life folks aren’t helping you with any of that. They’ll support your life just as much as they support the poor girls they bully,…

People invent so much work for themselves and just to waste more food than they have any need to. I once knew a family that not only degilled but also skinned and removed the stems from all mushrooms. It was a total waste. When I asked the main cook for the family why, it was because that was how she was taught and…

Let’s try to clear this up. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is the sequel to Modern Warfare (2019), which was a reboot of Modern Warfare, and is not related to Modern Warfare Remastered or Modern Warfare 2 Remastered, both of which are part of the same sub-series within Call of Duty that includes Modern Warfare 2:…

Honestly, with the exception of the last couple, those prices seem pretty damn reasonable. I’m not big on public proposals, but if your partner is a sports fan who loves being the center attention and you’re very, very sure they’ll say yes it could be money well spent.

No. 1000% No. This is bad information.

Last time I used Craigslist, the web page loaded fine on my phone. And was usable. 

I have been thinking about this for some time.

1. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010)

I feel like it’s rather telling that this implementation of awful nft bullshit ultimately also wraps itself in loot boxes. A scam embedded within a scam.

so first i have to note that the existence of one method to do a thing doesn’t automatically invalidate all other methods. Crowdfunding is a different thing than a tradeshow and its silly to just say one has replaced the other, even sillier to claim there was no consequence to this happening.

I did that back in 1991. I was not even 21 yet. It was the MOST fun trip ever!! I left California, traveled the southern route to visit my friend in South Carolina, then took a more northern route back. I got to see so many parts of the US - even if many were only from a train window - and had a fantastic time!  I…

It was not easy to jerk off to this list, but damnit, I tried my best.

So, this massive hippo of a vehicle sips fuel like a Prius. Does the physical size of the vehicle matter?

I don’t doubt that such systems will get better over time, but they don’t currently work all that well per testing by a lot of different places, and that doesn’t touch on them not being maintained and repaired as they fail over the years. Despite the proliferation of these safety systems, traffic fatalities have risen…

...Yes, it matters. If you’re not also in something that ways 9,000lbs, you’re much less safe with hoardes of these things flying down the road. It’s one thing with actual commercial vehicles (although better rail freight could take a lot of semis off the road), but when someone’s buying something that size because…

I already have an all aluminum vehicle, it’s 22 years old and is rated for 68city/74highway.
