> The rants about dishwashers and HVAC were memorable for being completely impractical advice and ignorant of economics

How you got that message from hour long rants and findings about dishwashers I'll never now.

The main take aways I got were: - You might be using way too much soap - Run your tap until it is hot before starting the dishwasher

Noxious weed probably? They can be harmful to local ecology.

My wife refuses to use bookmarks and instead uses open tabs. It drives me nuts.

Definitely. And often repeated/redundant information in many cases.

Not a lot of tears to shed for folks waiting a long time for a $250k (starting, at least at the time) toy.

I'd bet most of them see this as a cooler, shinier toy.

Well if you live in some areas (Greater Seattle any ways) it's often same-day arrival so it's even more addictive and useful.

In what context? Online shopping?

> Got a dud? Quality not as expected? Ordered two by mistake? Size is not fitting?

I totally agree, but I find the quality of the items I get off of Amazon to generally be a lot less than other places I chose to shop. Likely due to the fact that I intentionally shop on other sites for specific products but on Amazon I get things that just aren't necessary for me so I spend less time curating the purchases.

I learned this (public info) about Sweden a few years ago and as an American it really pissed me off.

In the US you can get the exact same info and probably more by simply paying a private corporation/middle man (background check services).

It seems like a huge trend in many sectors. We have the same setup as other countries, but shittier for consumers because there are lifeless leaches as middle men to make a quick buck.

I really enjoyed Fair Play. While we didn't really prescribe to playing the game rigorously or really start keeping track of cards, it was a great read for our relationship and really made both of us look at how we lived our lives and acted in our relationship. We immediately made some small but lasting pivots that removed unneeded friction and now have new-found respect for each others daily "grind".

I've recommended it to a few friends and they have had similar stories. Nothing life changing, but some small, nice changes to the dynamic and how they think about it.

It reminds of one of the later scenes from Secret Life of Walter Mitty when Sean (photographer) decides not to take a picture of the elusive snow leopard in front of them.

> Walter Mitty: Are you going to take it?

> Sean O'Connell: Sometimes I don't. If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it.

> Walter Mitty: Stay in it?

> Sean O'Connell: Yeah. Right there. Right here.

Missing FCA (Glacier international airport in Kalispell, Montana, USA).

It's small but a beautiful flight!

A huge ecosystem of third party accessories, cases, skins, etc.

The openness is easily worth it.

I had no idea others hit this, I just assumed it was some wonky setup I have locally. I hope we both figure it out one day haha (or Firefox does)
