  • xkcd #3184: Funny Numbers

    Jump

  • Yeah, I had my Facebook set to leetspeak back in the day when it was restricted to college students. Of course, Zuckerborg was still a POS and I got rid of my Facebook ages ago

  • We pay microtransactions on life

  • Damn kids!

  • This is funny, but don't you mean to say: "I'll be there 6-7 6-7 6-7". Makes more sense that way

  • Life goals

  • She's apparently been nominated several times

  • That is great

  • The place I go to has an option for a "quiet haircut" when you book the appointment. I'm pretty social, so I don't usually do it, but I think it's a nice idea for those who want it.

  • ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing

    Jump

  • It's also really great when someone is driving to pick you up. You can see how far out they are, and be ready when they arrive.

  • corporate greed $

  • Google co-founder says 60-hour workweek the ‘sweet spot’ for productivity

    Jump

  • I dream of my company going to that schedule, but I don't think they ever will. It's great to see other companies shifting that way though :)

  • I REFUSE to give into the exorciseists

    Jump

  • Finding another goal is a good suggestion. It's what worked for me, at least. Instead of it being about how I appeared in a mirror (which was suuuuper variable and depended a lot on my mood), it became something measurable I could easily track progress with.

  • Biggest concerns

    Jump

  • Right. Like, what jobs do people think they're taking?

  • When we finally get to a 4 day work week, will you be happy to see Friday go, or Monday?

  • Airbnb's struggles go beyond people spending less. It's losing some travelers to hotels.

  • I had a similar experience with VRBO. My family booked way in advance to see the eclipse, and the host ended up cancelling it a couple weeks before the stay. No penalties for them. I suspect they realized they could charge way more than what we were paying.

  • 'Wood vaulting': A simple climate solution you’ve probably never heard of

    Jump

  • There are several major problems this solves. The forests are overstocked, which is part of what leads to larger and more severe wildfire. These are live trees, and won't break down, but need to be thinned. And if the forest does burn, that dead wood needs to be removed to prevent it from burning again. This wood could break down eventually, but it makes it riskier to replant (for both the people planting, and the new seedlings).

    Both of these activities are incredibly expensive, and burying the trees in a vault on site could provide a way to manage all of the wood, and pay for it.

    Should wood vaults be the only solution? Probably not. And we should definitely remain skeptical as they are proven out. But proper forest management is challenging, expensive, and is often neglected (at least in the US), and I think it's overall beneficial to explore novel solutions like this.
