  • Not "many people." Americans. Americans find it hard to read. I'm not 100% sure but I'm fairly certain everyone else in the world agrees that either day/month/year or year/month/day is the best way to clearly indicate a date. You know, because big to small. America believes month/day/year for some stupid fucking reason.

    How much do you use your deck? Was it a good purchase?
  • I use it every day, so much so that my main gaming PC barely gets used. I'm a dad now and it has made gaming not just possible but easy to do.

    Family died in Rockies after trying to live ‘off the grid,’ official says
  • I think many people have that pull to nature, but most that do it and survive recognize that living without the infrastructure of the rest of humanity is at least extremely challenging and so will thoroughly prepare.

  • What a terrible way to go. They sounded less prepared than even Chris McCandless.

    I can't believe I'm recommending reality TV, but Alone is a fairly good representation of being alone in the wilderness with no resources. It is extremely unpleasant.

    Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality!
  • Buying new, sure, what you're saying makes sense. I think buying used for the form factor or whatever and not wanting windows is a fine choice, though.

    [D4]Should I get Diablo IV?
  • I never got into poe and didn't have as much time in d2 as you, but I played the crap out of d2 original. I also couldn't stand d3. What a disappointment.

    I really enjoy d4. I was not going to buy it but a friend who I often agree with on game choices did and was looking for someone to play with so I joined. No regrets. It feels like a modern Diablo game to me. Cross platform works well, which is nice so we can play with another friend who was obsessed with d2 but became a console gamer over the years.

    I am a lot busier than I was when d2 came out so I only have a single character, around level 60, but I'm looking forward to the first season.

    [HN] Ask HN: Great audio-only YouTube channels to listen while doing chores?
  • What a oddly phrased question. The poster is clearly looking for podcasts, but upon first glance I thought they were asking for music mixes or sets.

    Anyway, my analog journal is the best.

    The Car-Replacement Bicycle (the bakfiets)
  • Is that because of new cycling infrastructure or was there already good infrastructure and this is simply a new thing that people are doing?

    The Car-Replacement Bicycle (the bakfiets)
  • The one in the image here is an electric assist, hills are no problem. If you wanted to get it to work in the winter you could buy an electric assist trike. The bucket in the front is wide instead of long. A family in my neighbourhood drops their kids off at the school near us in theirs year round, unless the snowfall has been particularly heavy, but that is the exception instead of the rule.
