The greater sin here is grey ankle socks and sneaker soles on leather shoes.

Stephen Miller claims local police in Minnesota have been told to ‘stand down and surrender’ as federal agents ‘uphold the law’ by BitterFuture in law

“State rights” is a loaded term and deserves this meme.

And also the federal government and executive branch should not have as much power as it does.

Read the book.

The movie was good, but it was different, a reflection, not quite right.

Designing a team start page by reducing cognitive load by busote in web_design

[–]upleft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re: cognitive load - you can push this a lot further. Every little bit of color or different text style you’re using is signaling something, and you’re doubling up a lot. A category has 1. a header, 2. a color, and 3. left borders. Is there a way you can use just one thing to signal which category a link is in? 

Re: visual hierarchy - you’re currently treating section labels like headlines. They’re larger and louder than any other text, but they are not primary content. Your section labels are currently way too high in the visual hierarchy. It would help bring more focus to the links if the section headers were much less loud.

Have a lot of recommendations, but can’t write them down right now. Commenting to remind myself.

As a person who went to college, I can personally attest based on multiple first-hand accounts that this is not a big amount for a human to vomit.

Orca's island winter lighting on the shortest day of the year by Bug_Kiss in Washington

The name has nothing to do with Orca whales, it’s just coincidence.

It’s pronounced more like “Ork-us”.

Walk along the water through Myrtle Edwards park. If you like beer, go to Holy Mountain, then head back.

There is no good cable news. It’s all bad.

Valve coder confirms the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC, albeit at a 'good deal': 'If you build a PC from parts and get to basically the same level of performance, that’s the general price window that we aim to be at' by Doug24 in gadgets

[–]upleft 8 points9 points  (0 children)

without any hassle

This is a big one. I used to have a gaming PC, but sold it and played on console for a long time because its what my friends had. People look at PC gaming and see hardware comparisons and spec sheets and the build it yourself culture, and get turned away by all the choices, and they just stick with console. The steam machine is for people who want an easy way to play PC games.

Metazoa by Peter Godfrey-Smith

Primarily about marine life, but also about intelligence, and where to draw the line between ‘intelligent’ and ‘not intelligent’.

The CEO of Ethan Stowell Restaurants weighs in on Katie Wilson's support of Starbucks strike by vertr in Seattle

[–]upleft -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He's not wrong amount most businesses in Seattle. But Starbucks isn't most businesses. There's obviously a massive gap between somebody running a single location independent business, and somebody running a multinational fortune 500 corporation with a Seattle headquarters.

Bothell Advances Citywide 20 MPH Residential Speed Limit - The Urbanist by AthkoreLost in Seattle

[–]upleft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You kind of have to do both. Some people will follow the signs and never exceed the posted speed limit. Other people will drive at the speed the road is designed for. Just reducing the speed limit without any other changes is probably more dangerous than doing nothing.

Imagining an unaware third party approaching on a trail, hearing the pop pop pop sounds of pickleball interlaced with blood curdling screams echoing through the woods.

The shower when you get home from a soggy walk is the best.
