If you like sharp cheddar, the best cheese in the world is "Cougar Gold" from WSU Creamery in eastern Washington, USA, a region not known to be a hotbed of find cheeses. It comes in a can, also not thought of as a delivery vector for a great cheese, but there you have it. Tastes great out of the can or you can age it for a few years in the refrigerator. Five or 6 years is fine. I absolutely love the crystals. No mold forms unless you open the can.

WSU's other cheeses are okay but do not stand out to me. Nothing from England or France has delivered the sharp cheddar experience like Cougar Gold.

Agreed. These violent reactions aren’t unusual for HN but they are unnecessary and acutely disappointing.

Which is broken, because I want to be able to say “set an alarm at for next Wednesday at 4:30 AM“ the second I find out I have to give someone a ride to the airport.

If I have to make it a calendar entry, I may not notice it in time.

Thank you for your service

As a guy who was gotten to by some male abusers as a child, I was simultaneously laughing uncontrollably and shutting my sphincter like a bank vault door as I read this. Never experienced anything like this before.

Usenet was great early on, but near the time of its acquisition it was suffering from the same problems we see now on all social media sites: trolls, objectionable content, power-hungry mods, the works.

All these problems are writ much larger now because the net is like a million times as popular as back then. No social media site can survive on free moderators and without membership fees unless the rent gets paid somehow.

I assert HN requires less "rent" from us users than any other equally successful social media site.

Well yes. They have 2 brilliant guys running an incredibly popular site with a business model of replacing recruiters for their companies, most of which are of interest to an average HN reader.

Let's be conservative and imagine that YC gets them both for a fully loaded total of only half a million per year. (Could be half that, could easily be twice that.) These two run the site and moderate it both. That's already damn impressive. Let's imagine hosting costs YC nothing, somehow. (Apparently it's only run on one machine.)

For the low low price of free you and I are getting a high performance site with astonishingly good moderation and relatively few ads, certainly none that beg for an ad blocker. Of course I expect it to comply with YC's needs but in fact there's an immense amount of criticism of YN and its cohorts.

Now tell me where there's another site with quality this high that's free and keeps its prejudices to a minimum (I say that as a person with politics that probably run afoul of most HN readers).

Even with your tinfoil hat on I'm pretty sure you'll find nothing else remotely close to this good on the web for free.

My life began again! Awesome, thanks!

Once known as Cabaret Mechanical. So glad to see it back.

What form factor would be better at going up and down stairs? Reaching to a high shelf? Getting between the refrigerator and counter to grab a key?

Super useful. Makes the Hetzner choice a strong one for me.

Isn't this... kind of having your cake and eating it too? With RAM being so generous these days (especially compared to Alpine's memory requirements) wouldn't it make sense to run this way all the time on a desktop?

Hotkey Demon needs to be the title of a Korean anime

So how will they avoid vandalism?

This is a masterpiece

Grew up in a Chicano hood, thank you very much. I have been hit by the chanclas, hermano!

Sorry. I love life ;)

Damn!

I’m just praying that your football team was called the Vandals

I thought that was California. Not trying to be argumentative.

The people of Alberta remind me of what I imagine the American pioneers to have been: distinctly down to earth, extremely resourceful, generous, and not to be fucked with.

> I feel small, irrelevant, in the face of brutal, powerful nature.

I married a Chinese woman so I know that same feeling!

I kid.

Mostly.

Fantastic explanation, thanks.

Username makes me a little apprehensive nonetheless

Trash bins at end of term

How does someone in Berlin practice tuba or drums? (Serious question, no shade intended.)

Though some view me as a stodgy, patriotic American "right-winger" I feel this country needs to make actual north orientation great again and also adopt the goddamn metric system. FLIP THE MAP

Whatever the karma is on this, it should be double

Fantastic, thanks.

Would you mind naming or even… linking to a few such outlets?
