My friends and I played a ton of Doom on my company LAN back then. Getting it set up and working was a challenge but so worth it. Very fond memories.

I use kagi as well and love it. Worth every dime.

People that say they can't see themselves paying for Search underestimate the value of clean high quality search results.

I'm a business owner and developer of firmware for esoteric products. I need high quality, powerful searches that don't waste my time. Kagi is great for that. I created lenses on Kagi that I can use to focus my searches, a great time saver for me.

Another reason for the right to hate him.

Paywalled, but I wouldn't have time to read it all anyway.

I know the tricks, I've been peeling garlic for decades. There's just something really satisfying about thin, visible slices of garlic in some recipes though.

"swiped from their fortune"... If my 401(k) fell in half overnight, the media wouldn't say it was swiped from me, they would say my retirement saving has "sagged" or somesuch.

For us old-timers, it reminds me of this scene in the Carl Sagan movie Contact where the ultra-rich SR Hadden played brilliantly hy John Hurt is talking to Jodie Foster's character, Dr. Arroway.

a final gesture of good will to the people of this little planet that have given... sputters ... from whom I have taken so much.

Garlic is a pain to peel but the more you peel the more worth it it becomes. No pain, no gain.

If a recipe calls for one clove and you peel just one clove then you will hardly taste it. If a recipe calls for one clove and you peel and mince four, then now you can taste it and now it was worth it.

I think weird and similar thoughts are sticking for a few reasons.

  1. The obvious: Trump was running as the more vigorous and confident candidate and it was working very well, peaking with the debate. But Biden stunned Trump's campaign and stepped down. Trump's team seems wholly unprepared for this. Now Trump is the old guy yapping not about policy, but about how Kamala isn't black. It's cringe.

  2. Vance. Trump picked a carbon copy of himself (or a guy pretending to be a carbon copy of him, anyway) but when Vance says these Trumpian things they sound well, weird, coming from a 39 year old guy. For a young guy to be saying that childless adults have less value and should have fewer votes is damn weird. But if Trump said it, it wouldn't even make the news.

  3. I think the article is right in that you can call Trump and Vance weird without directly insulting their followers. But I also think another subtlety is that is doesn't distance the left from the right as much as other attacks might. You're not calling Trump Hitler and immediately raising the hackles of a conservative and forcing him to dig in against you.
