I came here to write that, after listening to lo-fi Yudkowski, that I want to destroy my speakers lest they ever do that again.

In addition to being a wonderful article, as a bonus I learned the phrase l'esprit d'escalier (and various other forms from wikipedia) and found out that Mr. Andreesen has a small version of the snoopy in a blender sculpture in his yard, which is just amazing.

I have only ever seen his electric vehicle reviews and didn't know he did gadgets, but finally clicked this YouTube recommendation. He is so complimentary of the good stuff, like he's trying to be as fair as possible.

Was his review of the Fisker Ocean similarly unethical? Silly.

Oh, this guy Bryan seems like a real prize.

Existing toys for men are dead, limp, flaccid, gay .....

... we're going to take non-reproductive sex with human women off the table as a commodity. It's gone. Can't trade money for it. Can't trade a meal for it..."

Every scientist I know is always going on and on about how the Overton Window is about to shift on their field of study. This is how serious work gets done, by measuring public opinion.

Bellroy stuff is kind of in my wheelhouse for minimalist manly man stuff; luckily I haven't bought any.

someone wants to tell me that a model use is for it to plan my travel?

I don't think any of these people have ever traveled. Honestly, I used to work for a company where the corporate travel people mostly lived in a small village in Germany, and their recommendations could be insane sometimes, but at least they knew what being a human was like.

It's a lousy bit, because if you're going to do a goddamn "crocus" joke about hundreds of people being shot at a concert, you should obviously make the pun about Swiss heavy metal legends "Krokus."

I know someone that met their long-term partner in the chat of words with friends.

EA is not a religion. Anyway, here are some pros / cons to marrying outside the religion.

...the less committed end of the EA spectrum (do you sneak dairy products when no one’s looking? fantasize about owning a yacht?)

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a yacht to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Also was I just shamed by someone who was in the environmentally horrifying bitcoin industry for keeping dry milk in my cupboard? No thank you.

For the win!
