Pretty cool. Love seeing old Web 1.0 sites still kicking. The 1996 Space Jam site is another example that gets brought up from time to time.

Yeah they can improve their UX all they want but since their co-founder is part of DOGE and wants to mess with social security, it makes choosing alternatives easier.
+1 for Shark. Bought one several years ago without thinking much about it. It still works just as well as when I got it despite handling a pretty heavy workload. My dog sheds profusely and tracks in stuff from the yard constantly and we also use it on the cars.
Visit some of the National Parks, aka America’s best idea.
Some amazing ones (they’re all amazing, tbh) in no particular order:
- Yosemite
- Arches / Canyonlands (close to each other)
- Yellowstone
- Grand Tetons
- Glacier
- Denali
- Olympic
At this stage in life, Infinite Jest and A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again.
For comics, I really liked Calvin and Hobbes.
Yep, their site is a marvel of organization and refreshing in how minimalist it has remained. These days it seems every e-commerce site hits you with email sign up pop-ups, sales banners, etc.
Decent at some and a beginner at others. Tbh, I have more hobbies than time to practice and really get good at all of them. So progress is slow, but I enjoy each one of them and don’t want to give up any just yet. Guess I’m taking the scenic route to mastery, maybe by the time I retire I’ll be really cooking. And if not, I still would consider it time well spent.
He’s more of a meat popsicle
One terrible combo is infinite scroll plus links in the footer (Bing does this, if you needed another reason not to use that site). I think pagination is generally a better pattern, since you can link to a specific page.
Also lack of back button functionality and having your state reset on refresh are also pet peeves.
OfferUp and craigslist can be decent for local stuff depending on your area
Lots of blinking geocities and angelfire sites. Waiting for NetZero dial up to noisily connect. Buffering music and video clips.
Yep, read an article about not applying finish to cutting boards for this reason.
Also found out open grain woods might be better at preventing bacteria from building up, was always told the opposite.
Remember when they removed “don’t be evil” from their code of conduct back in 2018
I’m also holding out for a compact flagship (with a headphone jack and SD card slot) but things have been pretty bleak. Settled on the Sony Xperia 5 line. While it’s not small, it’s narrow enough to be used with one hand and checks all the other boxes.
Other models I’ve looked at were the Asus Zenfone 10, Jelly Max, and Galaxy.
Installed an All American RO from US Water Syatems. Been pretty happy with it, no issues in 2 years and their how-to videos and customer support is excellent if you want to install it yourself. Even bought one for my parents house. The 6 stage version includes a remineralization step, they call it Livation.
“Correo de las brujas” translates to “the witches’ mail” and means gossip or rumors. Kind of like “heard it through the grapevine” or a “a little birdie told me”
Is the 401k plan from your previous employer? I’d first check if your plan admin will let non-active employees take loans out. Otherwise, if it helps your decision, the interest accrued from a 401k loan goes back into your own account, so it’s like you’re paying yourself interest. The main pitfall would be making sure you can pay it back on the agreed upon schedule, otherwise you get penalized. Also, while your money is removed from the market, you’re technically losing out on potential growth, but sounds like you’d benefit more from having access to the money now.
Honestly, if it were me and it would set me up for a career and I probably would do it and just make sure to contribute as much as I can to my retirement once I’m able to. Some alternatives would be a credit card or retailer with a fixed fee pay-over-time feature or a 0% interest intro offer. Failing that, you may just to get creative (sell things, pick up some side gigs, etc.)
High Sierra shower heads are awesome. Installed them in each of our bathrooms. Feels like a rain shower, with more pressure then our previous stock shower head while still saving water. Win-win. They also manufacture them in small town in the foothills of the Sierra mountains which is a pretty cool fact.
