Yeah, there is the question of how bad does it have to be to report. Certainly, they don't want people calling about a single cup stuck in a bush somewhere, but do want people calling about a pile of domestic garbage.…
I live in the west. I also have a very good driving record and drive a small econobox. Here's an interesting story that gave me greater understanding of how insurance is priced. Years ago, I worked at a place where I…
I asked everyone I knew for recommendations, paid attention to which ones people had stuck with the longest, then tried those ones out by getting oil changes there. Then out of the three that I had good vibes from, I…
If they welcome reporting, I'd be surprised if they care about (or check) whether or not the reporter is a tourist. They just want to know about the litter.
How? I never allowed Javascript or anything.
I also have no interest in their side projects. It doesn't bother me that they have them, though. As you say, as long as the search engine works and the price is acceptable, I'm happy.
I wasn't aware of this. The last time I used Google, it was a hypertext document (or at least presented a hypertext document if you didn't allow Javascript, which I didn't), so Google had no way of knowing what I…
I can do the basics like oil changes. I don't, though, because it's worth it to me to pay my mechanic to do all the maintenance. I'd do the same if the car were new.
Kagi is what I settled on a couple of years ago. I do think sometimes the fawning is over the top, but it is a solid search engine and tends to give me a bit better results than Google. The real win, though, is that you…
Because I wouldn't want Google to know what links I click on. When I used to use Google, and they added such redirects that included the plaintext URL, I'd edit the link to make it just that URL before resolving it.…
I just carry liability. There's no point in comprehensive coverage on such a car. My car insurance is about $500/yr.
Interesting. I'm far from poor, but that's pretty much exactly how I buy cars, and I have never regretted it. The couple of times that I bought more expensive cars, I've regretted it. The only time I'd take out a loan…
If I hadn't already ditched Google long ago, this would be more than enough to chase me away.
A good start is to vote in the midterms to reduce the amount of power that these antihuman criminals have. The US is currently in the midst of a serious political disaster and there will be no quick fix to any of this.…
That's in line with the EPA's new mission of ensuring environmental degradation.
> The agricultural machine manufacturer has a subscription service that lets owners repair their own equipment. Why is barely anybody using it? Because it doesn't address the actual problem.
Star Trek became, essentially, Star Wars. Which is a shame because we already have Star Wars, but there's nothing like what Star Trek was.
That would be awesome, but it's not going to happen without some sort of huge cultural shift. It's because actual science rarely directly results in something that can be monetized. That's what engineering does. Science…
100% this. A lot of people confuse these two things. I am a father to my children, not their friend. That means that a huge part of my job is to teach them how to be well-functioning adults. Discipline is a large part…

For actual notes, yes, but a paper notepad can't cover all my needs. It's pretty hard to copy/paste to a paper notepad.
Damn, that site is very hard (and painful) to follow.
Yes, it's absolutely a cult. I don't fear genAI even a little. I am terrified and angered by genAI companies and their most hardcore supporters, though. I think they present a genuine danger to us all.
