Have started putting that $2500 in to stocks and trying t…

LPT: Ask your coworkers/friends better questions about their vacations when they get back I stopped asking “how was your vacation?” and started asking “what was the best (or worst) thing you ate while you were on vacation?”. The former often leads to either overly vague or long winded stories. However the latter seems to really engage people and you get a better little anecdote of their time away. You get an idea of what kind of hol…

Wireless earbuds can actually help you hear conversations better Photo by Chris Welch / The VergeEarlier this week, a reader contacted me with a dilemma: his wife has always had super sharp hearing when it comes to environmental / ambient noise.

I am considering getting into Photography as a hobby, with a focus on macrophotography, is it better to use a brand new phone’s camera (say a Samsung S22U or S23U’s built in camera), or a much older but specialised Sony A6000? It all started with this post. I have a number of hobbies dealing with similarly small animals (mainly aquarium shrimps and fish, as well as springtails), and I would love to be able to take photos and videos at that sort of resolution. My question is this: Coulda Samsung S22 Ultra with added aftermarket lense take a video like those in the li…

Bitcoin Mining Is an Oligopoly, and Proof-of-Stake Isn’t Any Better

LPT: If some acts as if they are “too cool/better than” the situation they are in, run away as fast as you can I’m a “big energy” guy and tend to bring a lot of enthusiasm to almost any social situation I find myself in.
