Spread the word.
magic_beans··on I’ve Climbed Everest 21 Times. It’s Not the Mountain It Used to Be
People should be forced to carry their own waste down at least! I'm also shocked how many people claim they "climbed Mt. Everest" when their Sherpa guide did 99% of the heavy lifting.
magic_beans··on ‘None of this happened the way you think it did’
Agreed. The article takes way too long to get to the point. A blurb at the top would have been helpful.
magic_beans··on Blood sugar patterns to master as a type 2 diabetic
They still couldn't eat a high-carb food item without seeing a drastic spike in blood sugar. So: not cured of t2, but in remission.

magic_beans··on Ask HN: Faking your resume to acquire projects
Honestly, who cares? You're not hurting anyone. Unless you feel you won't be paid appropriately, this isn't illegal or even THAT unethical. If anything, you'll learn something new and come out of this with some really good knowledge.

But if you really want to quit over this: listen to your instinct. I wouldn't, but that's me.

My grandmother did this, which always struck me as insane. Because it IS insane.
magic_beans··on Samsung's folding phone breaks for reviewers
The screen protector should not be removable then.

> I've never heard of anyone growing after the age of 18.

Just because you haven't heard of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

magic_beans··on Olympic medal-winning cyclist Rebecca Twigg is homeless in Seattle
Rebecca Twigg obviously has a mental health problem that contributed to her path to homelessness. Why wasn't that discussed?

What is the experience of a brain without a body? It's probably nightmarish.
