Everytime this pops up I immediately think of this classic: https://www.cartalk.com/radio/puzzler/flavors

Can't wait to see this story used on some growth hacker / seeking new opportunities LinkedIn post talking about planning for success.

Most Walmarts that I've come across at least have other stores nearby. I can't help but wonder how these will impact poorer, rural areas where Dollar General is king.
DG already has already faced lawsuits related to their advertised pricing vs price at the register. Surge pricing in a food desert sounds like a Late Stage Capitalism wet dream.

I've been bitten by the Meshtastic / LoRa bug. It's fascinating to see how far these little inexpensive units can reach.
This weekend I was able to reach my home node from a state park 8.2 km away and have been giddy since.

Not a father but a "fun uncle" to my buddy's kids. I bought them a snap circuit set and they absolutely loved building out the projects in the booklet. In a couple years (the oldest was five at the time), I hope to revisit the snap circuits and introduce how this all works.

The unit I'm affiliated with was tasked by the university to run replications and ultimately assist with the retractions. This was all done by my colleagues but I heard about it quite often. Past that I am going to refrain on commenting more as I'm unqualified to do so.
Two published replication studies (used for retractions) can be found here:

I wouldn't cite Wansink... the guy had 15 retractions in the past year for making shit up.

I really enjoy my pair of BeatsX. They have the same W1 chip as the AirPods which makes pairing simple. They do have a cord between the buds but also have an inline mic and volume / music controls.
They aren't as sexy as the AirPods but I was able to pick them up on sale for $75 so I have no real gripes.

I also agree with her and have had similar instances in my life where I chose to be silent.
My interpretation of this silence is an evaluation of opportunity cost. I choose to be silent even though I might have something to say because I value the time saved avoiding a pissing match by forgoing any benefit of speaking my mind.
I might be totally missing the mark on her intended meaning. Regardless of my interpretation, it is pretty disheartening that advancements in various areas can be stalled due to people reacting (read wanting to be offended) rather than listening, processing and engaging.

Awesome story! Just as a heads up with uBlock Origin in Chrome on macOS one is greeted with a header followed by a white page. Everything loaded with once I shut it off.

Not to derail the conversation but this whole discussion on "productization" reminded me of the plot line of a Black Mirror episode. When I originally watched it I found it mostly absurd but now in the context of this thread it makes a whole lot of sense.
Here is the episode I am referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Right_Back_(Black_Mirror)

I always wondered why we only have a single election day given how long the candidates spend campaigning. Is there any reason why a 3 day window (or more) couldn't be used?

Jade comes somewhat close but opts for the offside rule rather than brackets and abbreviates class and id with . and # respectively.
