Everything that could ever be said about America is in East of Eden.

I couldn't remember which Shakespeare plays I had or hadn't read, so I've spent the summer going through them alphabetically. It's been a blast!

I knew many everyday expressions and phrases come from his work but I had no idea it was so many.

I'm currently about halfway through at 3.2k pages.

I'm guessing you don't know many roofers. I've watched roofers crush tall boys at 6AM more times than I can count.

There used to be a politician named Richard Swett[0]. He went by Dick.

Man, this comment is getting way more attention than I expected lol

Because they are not a review aggregator? They purchase the products themselves, do extensive testing, and then publish their results. You can find more about their process on their About page here: https://www.techgearlab.com/about.

I gave up on any product related reviews on Reddit a decade ago. It can still be useful for guides that may describe what type of products you should look into, e.g., woodworking tools, skincare, etc.

For product reviews, I've been using GearLab (https://www.techgearlab.com/) for years with pretty reliable results. I have no affiliation with them.

This looks almost too good to be true! Thank you for sharing. I'm going to migrate my 600+ library over tonight.

  Should they be outlawed from selling to certain classes of investor? Which?

Yes. This is already the case for law firms as they have to be owned and managed by lawyers, in most jurisdictions.

You might want to look into Gretzky's political beliefs before "importing" him.

If anyone is confused about this comment and similar others, the original title had "rouge Agent" instead of "rogue Agent."

  Not sure why my comment merited a downvote.

There seems to be a mass downvoting scheme on HN lately. I don't know who's behind it and what their motives are but I constantly see valid comments made within the last five minutes greyed out.

I was not expecting him to be an OB/GYN.

Yes, it's the Second-Chance Pool.[0]

I've been using Brave forever and agree.

I was referring to

  You don't have to turn off any crypto stuff.

being an argument in favor of Firefox. I have to use Firefox every once in a while and I'm always surprised to see the garbage they peddle on the start page. I know I can turn it off but I never use it enough to bother.

Instead, you just get inundated with ads and pop culture garbage whenever you open a new tab.

  It possibly helps that I have a dog that will not tolerate a cat on the property and seems to believe that birds don't exist.

Which is very odd, considering that all birds are cats. [0]

You *can* escape *asterisks*.

Because paywalls are trivial to bypass and it's exhausting hearing people constantly complain about them. The GP in this thread has been on HN for 10 years. They should know how to bypass it by now. Hell, four minutes after they posted someone posted the bypassed link.

I'm always curious what people get out of their terminal history. About 98% of mine is embarrassing and made for the ether.

Have you ever looked back on your history?

Not what you're after, but your talk of beans reminded me of Taco Bell Programming. [0]

The artist, Seu Jorge, did a dedication performance to Bowie and the movie recently, in case you haven't seen it. [0]

No one is forcing them to do this. This is all self-incflicted.

  Greenland Energy has retained Phil McGraw, better known as Dr Phil, a prominent rightwing former chatshow host who served on Trump’s religious freedom commission, to make a documentary series that will “capture the mission of these modern-day wildcatters”.

Beyond parody.

EDIT: To clarify, Greenland Energy is a Texas based company.

No, but it cures me ennui every time. 10/10. Would recommended if in tailspin.

Wings of Desire is a beautiful movie. It's probably my all time favorite. Bruno Ganz is sensational in it and Peter Falk has some great scenes, too.

I'll bite: How is a movie about an angel falling in love with a trapeze artist pro state surveillance?

Whenever I read people's takes about Python on HN, I always feel like I'm using an entirely different language.
