I know people who only poop at home. I can’t imagine being out in space for years. With holodeck technology… Someone is bound to have written a program that simulated their bathroom at home.

My wife and I rarely cook turkey for Thanksgiving. This year we’re coming Cornish hens. In previous years we’ve cooked duck, leg of lamb, and rib roast. It’s not that we don’t like turkey, but there are lots of other things that I think I’d prefer eating....

Given that I’d like to keep this one in good shape I’d like to know your experiences: does it still make sense to buy screen protectors nowadays? If so, also on newer...

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a way to save content from the websites I visit manually or automatically, and then perform full-text searches exclusively within the saved content. Additionally, it would be great if there’s a feature for adding tags, flair, or labels to categorize the saved content by topic. Does anyone have...
