I’m going to imagine that they all have bottled water because the staff didn’t put any ICE in their cups.

When it matters to Oregonians, it’s in The Guardian.

(Yes, I just dunked on two different newspapers at once. IYKYK)

Most of them will live the rest of their lives lying to themselves and desperately shielding themselves from being held accountable by their peers.

Happy Amazon Prime Day! Amazon collects mountains of data about how you use the service, but there is a setting you can change to make it harder for the company to use that data to sell you more things. #OptOutOctober www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Hey #kids, without HyperCard & hypertext, the World Wide Web might not exist. Which is why HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language.

Dig into this slice of history and you might even meet James Ensor.

Really excellent letter. Ty for sharing it and sending it, in spite of NYTs collapse as a trustworthy institution.

This is a ridiculously informative and fascinating analysis of Hasbro's financials. Must watch if you play Magic... or if you're looking for a stock to short. πŸ‘€

When I was a young kid watching reruns of Hogan's Heroes, it was very funny that the Nazis were narcissistic clowns and dimwits. The more I learn about actual fascists from both the 20th AND the 21st century, the more on the nose that turns out to be.

1. What was the temp? You probably want to get it around 500.
2. The pan for "pan pizzas" are typically greased.
3. Pan pizza dough is typically "overproofed" vs a more traditional crust, which will give you a thicker fluffier base.
4. Agree w/ other comments re: oversaucing.

I watched the whole thing, and even as an AI skeptic I think this is an example of a useful application. A lot of freeform survey responses just go into the void because of how labor intensive it is to review/analyze/respond to.

The fake-personalized email response was the least compelling part tho

Part of why they kick your ass harder is because it's a bit of a bigger dose. Moderna in particular. From a protection standpoint it's actually a good thing.

That said I'm happy to admit that the differences are relatively minor and any jab is >>> no jab.

Formulations can change over time, but Moderna/Pfizer have always been the top two options with an edge to Moderna.

Yeah that comment from the Proton Poobah was not terribly reassuring. It was enough that I would not trust their VPN even though I understand enough about how the mail security works to understand that Proton cannot read your mail under any circumstances.

From a cybersecurity standpoint, iPhones are simply better than Android by every key metric, and that degree of security and control over the data on your device.

As long as that remains true, any boycotting needs to be more targeted.

Also, Apple can't stop app devs from moving to the web.

What kind of clasp? I have an extra thick skull and those little six-peg things are worthless.

Clearly we need to generate a video of the Loch Ness Monster giving you $3.50.

As many of them as possible.

Love your work Eric but if there is any kind of silver lining to come from this it must begin with NPR editors abandoning the timid framing of this administrations illegal acts and also ending the practice of platforming advocates of violence and racism.

I read The Guardian now.

The modern research is pretty clear cut at this point. 100g of protein daily combined with moderate resistance training effectively prevents sarcopenia in aging populations.

The imprinting of albums when you’re young and only own a few is a big deal. The sea change from metal to grunge with Metallica’s self-titled & Nevermind being released 3 weeks apart looms large for me having had both on cassette & being glued to my Walkman.
