Are you on your own? Can't you run after she goes to bed?

It's a bit tougher with kids but not much tbh (obviously it's harder if you're a single parent). You just have to do it in the morning before they get up, after they go to bed, or during lunch hour.

I can't tell if you're joking or not but this is not close to being true. See for example the millions of obese parents in North America.

edit: to expand, it's unlikely you're getting your heart rate elevated to see much improvement in your cardiovascular system or doing much of any resistance training.

> it could compromise SpaceX contracts with the air force

If that's true, then you have a good point that I hadn't considered. I can't fathom that could ever become a reality, but my "that will never happen" sense has been way off lately.

> As a shareholder of TSLA, I don't want to see Elon Musk smoking weed on YouTube anymore

But the whiskey was ok with you? Should CEO's have to hide their recreational drug (of which alcohol is a subset) use?

FWIW I also hold TSLA and want to see them succeed but a puff of weed (that he didn't inhale) is the least of our concerns.

That said, we can probably both agree 3 hours of sleep rather than an interview with Joe Rogan probably would have been the smart move.

Smoking it in public is obnoxious I agree. Hopefully people choose to eat or vapourize it rather than burn it.

He had a single puff and did not appear to inhale (his body language made it look like he was a very inexperienced smoker). He said he'd tried it before but wasn't a big fan (a pretty common experience).

edit: people are going to need to get used to the fact that weed is going to become as normalized as alcohol (which is a harder drug than weed).

I guess the libraries ultimately serve different purposes but the Celery example is 100 times more approachable than the Faust example.

It's infuriating to me living in North America (I'm in Canada but it's as bad or worse in the US) watching cities develop this way. Mention this to almost anyone here and you will be met with blank stares. There are countless places that contain many stores that share parking lots that we so huge you still have to drive between them.

I moved to an X1 Carbon (running Ubuntu) from a MBP too. Very happy with it. Keyboard and trackpad are both great.

Thanks. I'll maybe ask for a replacement then.

The headphone jack is my only gripe with the Pixel 2 and it is a surprisingly big deal to me. The USB-C dongle is terrible. Easy to lose, doesn't work half the time requiring me to reboot the phone (lightning quick thankfully), stops working if the headphones get yanked out etc. I use my headphones almost every single day with my phone so it's a "big" (in the first world problem sense) deal to me. I love everything else about the phone, but I still kind of wish I bought something else.

Cool article. The title made me think this was going to be an article from 2011 about Color the company [1]

> Do people really encounter trouble with conflicting packages that often?

Yes it's quite common. For example I work on multiple projects with different versions of Django being used in each one.

Yes, and that's median household income, not individual. It's closer to $60k in the US [1] but your point still stands.

Thanks for pointing out tick cards to me. For those in Canada MEC has one [1] which is half the price of the same card on Amazon.

Me too. Grew up in the country (running through cornfields etc) in SWO and never had a single tick or even thought about ticks. Then this year my son picked up a small tick in McGregor Park on Lake Huron which thankfully tested negative for Lyme. The areas around the shoreline of Lake Huron seem particularly bad these days.

When I said "only people with money" I meant "meaningful amount of money" but I can see what you're saying. I'm not sure what I'm struggling with about the concept...time for me to do some more reading / thinking.

This appears to just be Flappy Bird rotated 90deg [1]. Pretty funny!

This is what I don't understand. In the hypothetical case where we switch to using bitcoin won't early adopters be the only people with money? What about the 99.9(9?)% of the population who don't own any bitcoins?

That is certainly not what I would consider "quite a lot of food"! If I was forced to use your meal plan I'd eat it in a single sitting in the evening and fast the rest of the day.

> he diet was a formula of 825–853 calories per day for 3 to 5 months, followed by the stepped reintroduction of food over two to eight weeks.

That is going to be a brutal 3-5 months. Worth it in the end though.

Also, c'mon, a range of 825-853 calories? Nobody is counting calories that accurately and it would have been better to say "roughly 850 kCal per day".

Yeah having a 17" laptop is brilliant with the caveat that they're kind of terrible on planes. I'm using a 14" ThinkPad these days and miss the extra real estate, although I've adapted to it over time.

One of the modes on my hearing aids plays "fractal" tones [1] that are fairly effective in quashing my tinnitus in a quiet room (where my tinnitus is the worst).

Are you saying the end justify the means? The problem is that over and over and over we see companies breaking the rules, reaping massive rewards as a result of unethical practices, saying "sorry" and then carrying on with no real consequences. It sets a horrible precedent and unless people start being punished instead of rewarded(!!!) for their actions nothing will change.

> or a shot of whiskey would suffice

Not sure if you said it in jest or not but alcohol is also highly addictive, prone to abuse, and harmful to your health and IMO would really not be a step in the right direction.

edit: I almost added to my comment "It's almost taboo in our society to mention this fact" but didn't. I was almost immediately down voted so I guess maybe I'm not wrong...

Interestingly the Hershey's factory has been reused as a large scale marijuana grow op although I suspect it employs far fewer people than the chocolate factory.

Not really. Job prospects are likely limited to non-existent, winters are long and harsh (and dark), education opportunities very limited, very few entertainment options, the availability and price of fresh food will be poor, it's a 2 hour drive to the nearest city (North Bay with a population of 50 000), 5+ hours to a "real" city (Ottawa or Toronto). I could go on...

I'm sure some of the residents love their hometown, but there's a reason the real estate is so cheap. Personally you would probably have to pay me a lot of money to move my family there.
