    Yes, I absolutely eventually found things, but I was surprised by the gender balance, especially when I was looking for something published recently instead of a classic.

    Those are all great, and I did eventually find things. It's worth mentioning that everything on your list (with the exception of The Timewarp Trio) was out when I was a kid. If you look at new releases - - the books specifically marketed to today's children - - they're almost all aimed at girls. Most of the exceptions are chapter books about other media (like Bluey or Paw Patrol).

    Apropos of this, has anyone tried buying books for an early independent reading boy recently? 80% are marketed to girls

    I did not win, but a friend who I asked to enter did, but he might actually want it himself and I'm waiting to hear back from other people 😂. I really want this thing

    I've seen claims that because of the pancake style lenses, the "sweet spot" for IPD is large enough that you can be a few mm outside in either direction and still have a good experience.

    I do sometimes (to very close friends or family) announce that I pooped. The reactions are funny.

    If you only connect to the internet through a separate box (like an Nvidia Shield), are you immune to this, or do they do they have some sort of work around like Amazon Sidewalk to phone home?

    It's a really underrated option on anything with an activity sort, imo. Posting is bumping, so it something is stupid, consider whether it is too stupid to be worth extra people noticing it.

    A bacon cheeseburger. No need to mention whether the meat is in one piece or two.

    On reddit, Robin William's was probably covered to a similar extent, but Dolly is much bigger in mainstream news.

    There is something to be said about a company small enough to be shamed into improvement by a HackerNews post.

    What do you think the max sustainable size is then? Though now that I think of it, Stackoverflow is probably also an extreme because of the nature offering questions answered for free, I suppose.

    StackOverflow delegated a hell of a lot and I know that ended with a pretty nasty culture, but maybe it could work better outside of the structure of that site.

    Hey, I just want to comment on your small text -- I've been there with how frustrating that is. Like, I'm having visceral empathy right now with a discussion I had a while back. Just wanted to send some good vibes in your direction and I hope the emotions fade a little bit with some time.
