It’s fascinating to me how several weeks of very subzero weather can make 30°F feel “pretty nice out.“

@freemo that’s a good point.

To be fair, I’ve only visited houses like that and not lived in them. But living in a European row-house for a year of college was lovely… though we did make the neighbours complain about noise more than once haha

Separate houses being built so close together that they can’t have facing windows does not make any sense to me

We have visual interfaces and we have tactile interfaces even though they are usually just tactile things to enhance the visual, but we don't have very many audio interfaces and we should have more them

I'm willing to bet that if we banned the use of leaf blowers for clearing snow, the ability to travel through urban environments without a car would not be worse than it currently is.

"You should be proud to be an Australian!" Not really. There was an Australian man and an Australian woman, the woman just wanted a back rub, and now here I am. I didn't do anything to become Australian, it just turned out that way.

@SirHendrick What I really want is a map where I can click a point and it tells me the approximate year when that area became dry usable land.

New Hunger Games prequel movie: 2/5.
Meh story (spoiled by knowing what happens in the trilogy).

I had high hopes.

I don't care if it's A Thing, holding a microphone half the size of one's finger on camera is dumb.

TFW a person markets themselves as a "social media wiz" and 4/5 of their tweets have a dozen hashtags, some of which have nothing to do with the content they're posting.

It’s fascinating to think that until we have interplanetary diaspora or a major global disaster, we will never have the boundaries between cultures like we did in the past.

For a moment I thought my niece was learning the political compass

What a fantastic website. I wish everyone would use plaintext emails. It's so much better than huge and hugely annoying html emails.

Use Plaintext Email

It seems like more and more people are shooting in a 16:9 aspect ratio by default and I don't know what to think of it.

I don't think I could be a lawyer that represents people who are defending themselves against law enforcement officers doing their job badly or not doing their jobs because every time I read about it happening, I get 💥 l i v i d 💥
