Great article to come across on a friday afternoon, the first paragraph is a great hook and had me laughing too.
Was waiting at a drive through coffee recently with the dog in the front seat. She needed to vomit right as I was about to pull up to the window. Just happened to find a small paper bag from lunch, or something, and was able to get everything cleanly in the bag! A dog snout fits more cleanly into a bag than human I think, but have never needed to use one myself.
Am in between house rentals at the moment and the general concept of “commitment agreements” is one that’s been on my mind. Particularly the desire to pay 6 or X months up front for a place - maybe it exists in the commercial space but haven’t seen it for general residential agreements.
Some cool points made in this article thanks for sharing. It’s a bit broad and formulaic to be directly actionable in my opinion but that can be seen as good/bad depending on the reader
It can be something relevant to seek out but wouldn't use the word desirable at all.
It may improve judgement but hopefully serves better to improve humility and gratitude.
It’d be interesting to read more about the psychology of “when people decide to stop eating meat”. Conversely, I’ve talked with individuals who were raised culturally vegetarian who started eating meat as an adult.
Contrary to the sibling comment I think it’s the salt. There was also the guy who ate the ramen in styrofoam bowl for years and had a lump of styrofoam in his stomach.
Personally I just buy dry ramen noodles and make my own sauce or use curry, give a bit more control over salt etc
This is cool but I don’t really like how their material is under a trade secret. I’m sure it’s good under their testing but there are tangible differences between things like lumber/metal/composite grades.
What would it mean for something like code compliance/liability etc
This is such an understated point, especially on HN! EVs can be great for certain use cases and individuals but, as as renter, do not fit my situation at all.
This was super cool thanks for the post. It's interesting how the pulley system is the improved method while this is the 'old' system for a lot of residential windows - but does work very smoothly. Have had a rope snap before with the window up before and shatter the pane.
For sure companies and people will take the path of least resistance; companies will always prioritize the bottom-line. It seems most consumers are tipped toward EVs because of the incentives and things like carpool lane waivers.
EVs are a tremendous improvement in regards to emissions but in my opinion a step backwards in terms of functionality (hear me out on this one!). ICE are one of the greatest inventions of our species and the energy density of liquid fuels is so much greater than in a battery - with this comes field portability and long-term usage of trucks/heavy-equipment etc. Certainly EVs have other advantages such as torque bands, fewer moving parts, etc.
Respectfully disagree about not starting new Ruby projects now - can we still be friends? It works and is easy to get started for simple stuff, same with PHP for some folks or Django etc.
does seattle even still offer bike rentals for this? for some reason feel like i only see scooters around... in the middle of the sidewalk or in some bush
Don’t have a source handy but have read the tethering is possible but required more specialized and expensive ships.
When the tethers /are/ used I found it interesting the whole reel is welded onto the ship’s deck
