This is the meet cute for a bi rom com, right?

I know that’s supposed to be a jokey edgy comment but advanced planning is really important for those you leave behind. They will absolutely appreciate it if you have done the basics of estate planning (will, advance directives, digital account planning) so that it’s not one more burden during one of their most difficult time in life.

I’m one of them. For a lot of reasons my partner and I want to move, but we have a 3% mortgage. Even though we have a large amount of equity, we still can’t afford to buy now. I’m looking a getting a loan from my parents, which is ridiculous considering our situation but almost 8% interest rates mean our payment would just about double from what we have now.

No, because Hackers is too awesome to be bad.

I don’t know, I find it way easier to find a bi sub than a bi dom.

I doubt it will get that far, but discovery in this case would be fantastic.

Terrible ideas:

  • Garden hose
  • NEMA 10-50 - each "prong" could be a different connector
  • CCS
  • USB-A
  • Quick-connect air coupler

Dating apps are deeply, deeply enshitified because the economic incentive for them is the exact opposite of what monogamous users want. Specifically, the apps want you to keep subscribing, plus buy the super platinum plus extra added packs, but never really find someone and date them, because then you stop paying. Old school pre-sellout OKCupid had a great analysis of this in their blog, which was taken down the day they sold out.

This is why the few sites/apps that cater to non-monogamous or event based communities are still reasonably decent, e.g FetLife, Bloom and Feeld, though Feeld is partially down the enshitification pathway.

I'd be really interested in seeing what a fediverse dating app would be like, something that didn't have the financial incentive to enshitify, and maybe had a match/search system like old-school OKC.

EDIT: missing word.

It is completely unnecessary to have modern semis to make a solar cell. You can easily make one with copper sheets and a salt solution.

The first solar cell dates to 1884.
