My biggest gripe going from Windows to Mac was the lack of intuitive windows management. Rectangle isn't perfect but it gets the experience like 95% there.

I have Reynaud's disease and it made it miserable for me to experience any kind of cold snap.
I know it's anecdotal, but the winters feel so mild now. Perhaps it's just being older and getting used to the region, but I feel as if it has not been memorably cold besides the Polar Vortex we had a few years back (2019?).
My wife is not from the area, and moved here during the Polar Vortex. She panicked thinking "is this what it's normally like here?" On a day that was like -40 fahrenheit below (without wind chill).
I tell her time and time again, the winters are nicer than they used to be. They used to be fierce.

As a new father, I won't see the benefit of this for a while.
But even before I was a father I was all for this. I think too many people in my peer group think "how will this benefit me".
I'm so proud of my state for passing this. The positive effects this will cause downstream are going to be tremendous.
We grow more human as a society when our families care for one another. We are all in this together.

Tukajo (edited )LinkWhen investing: time in the market beats timing the market. You're much more likely, on average, to come out far ahead by simply investing in index funds or a wide variety of sectors or companies...When investing: time in the market beats timing the market.
You're much more likely, on average, to come out far ahead by simply investing in index funds or a wide variety of sectors or companies you know about.
Then just wait patiently for multiple decades as your investments grow.
Also don't let your cat roam the city limits because they decimate bird populations.

Comment on Do you have any favourite WoW Classic meme/weird builds? in ~games

I would love to see "classic wow: remade" with the essence of Classic as a philosophy.
The difficulty, the lore and immersion. The need to team and up and communicate. It felt like a live action DnD campaign that I simply cannot get in newer MMOs.
I feel crazy when I say to my friends that the eras of early MMOs (WoW, SWG, EverQuest) just sort of "Hit Different".
I don't know if we'll really see that style of game exist again. I don't know if it really can exist again with the way games have evolved. (Quality of life). Since some of those aspects are in direct competition with the philosophy of classic.

I've had real Chicago deepdish. My wife is from the east coast and when I introduced her to it... It's all she wants from her pizzas now.
I can't get her to go back to regular pizza!

The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Heidt.
I've been struggling on and off personally to understand why some people are seemingly incapable of coming to the same natural conclusions I do when it comes to beliefs.
It's not so much to say that I think everyone should believe as I do, but moreso wanting to really dig into "why" certain folks near me that I have no choice but to interact with are so steadfast in their line of reasoning.
The book has been pretty interesting so far, as it has dived into cross-cultural psychological studies that show that morality is often a "intuitive" reaction, rather than derived rationally. This rationalization typically happens "after-the-fact" when the gut reaction has already taken place. Also, any post-hoc rationalize typically serves to further entrench ones pre-existing viewpoint.
I don't mean to toot my own horn but I felt like the book so far hasn't taught me too much "new" stuff that I didn't already know. And I'm left feeling sort of empty so far. I think I was hoping for something more that this book couldn't give me in terms of how to handle folks with seemingly incompatible worldviews.
