I built an acrylic shelf that could swing out over my head in bed. I would only have to slide the book out to turn pages. Acrylic was probably 12mm thick. Worked great.


I'd argue that Jell-o tastes good because sugar tastes good and that it's just the novel texture coupled with sweetness that is the attraction. I doubt many people know what unsweetened gelatin tastes like or if that even tastes good.


Why does this app need network permissions?


Good question! It needs network permission only to load the OpenStreetMap tiles for showing your location on the map. No data is collected or sent anywhere — privacy is a core focus. :)


A married couple hasn't spoken to each other in 10 years. Their daughter seeks out the best marriage counselor she can find and gets her parents to agree to go to a session.

After their first visit the daughter follows up with the therapist and asks if he could get them to talk to each other. "Not this time, but we have another appointment next week. I'll take another crack at it."

The parents show up to their next appointment. The therapist is trying everything he can think of to get them to speak to each other. Because he has a reputation to uphold he's getting a little worried. He tells the daughter, "We've got another appointment next week and I've got one last thing I can try."

When the married couple steps into the therapist's office, therapist doesn't say a word but pulls out an upright bass out of his closet and starts playing a solo. They immediately start talking.


You two! Bass solos can be great!

I am a bass player sir.

My joke has more to do with the fact that bass players tend to feel unappreciated when the audience talks during their solo. Bass solos are always quieter so, there's some sort of bias there I'm sure.

Recently at a jazz club a bass player friend of mine who graduated from the same music school as me found ourselves talking through the bass solo from the act on stage. "Oh man, we're doing it now." Lol


bass is actually short for "basically not an instrument"


Thanks, I've never heard of them before. Excellent.

For whatever reason, we love this session by this incredible jazz band:

Also, it wasn't immediately obvious that you only get the feedback after a valid checkmate.


Fun puzzle! Fyi, does not play well with Brave - experimantal dark mode.

But I think that's probably true of a lot of chess sites. I sort of feel like sites should have a way of flagging themselves as already in dark mode, so that they can be ignored by any dark mode extensions.


I think that this solution is a bit backwards. I think it should be on the extension to detect if the site is already "dark".


Everyone knows that if you encounter an R.O.U.S, You're supposed to retreat into the fire swamp.


I don't think they exist.


Isn't that what science is? Our understanding changes all the time based on new experiments. "Settled science" isn't a thing imho.


Science is the art of prediction. When I say settled science I mean that the predictability has overcome all possible experiments so far. For example, how planets move around a star is settled science.

Huberman sometimes passes the results of a single experiment as if there are no more hurdles to overcome.


It's not freely available, it's for sale. And just because private data is for sale does make it public.


It's private property that happens to be data. The fact it's allowed to be collected and sold to anyone much less the government.


Which means that private consent in contract for data collection here is meaningless.

Similar to how one cannot sign away one’s constitutional rights in a contract.


My life has improved substantially since I made this my notification sound.
