Great article to come across on a friday afternoon, the first paragraph is a great hook and had me laughing too.

Was waiting at a drive through coffee recently with the dog in the front seat. She needed to vomit right as I was about to pull up to the window. Just happened to find a small paper bag from lunch, or something, and was able to get everything cleanly in the bag! A dog snout fits more cleanly into a bag than human I think, but have never needed to use one myself.


One time I caught a barf with my hands from by sweet little baby dog. Saved a cleanup of the carpet but I would’ve preferred a bag. Just had to wash my hands afterwards.


Honest, technical, humorous; Good comment!


Am in between house rentals at the moment and the general concept of “commitment agreements” is one that’s been on my mind. Particularly the desire to pay 6 or X months up front for a place - maybe it exists in the commercial space but haven’t seen it for general residential agreements.

Some cool points made in this article thanks for sharing. It’s a bit broad and formulaic to be directly actionable in my opinion but that can be seen as good/bad depending on the reader


Weird and random to see the hotspring marked on the map. Have been there many times but it was all word of mouth


The Bay Area is large and the Greater Bay is massive if you take into account people commute in from Sac, Santa Rosa, and Santa Cruz to name a few.


It can be something relevant to seek out but wouldn't use the word desirable at all. It may improve judgement but hopefully serves better to improve humility and gratitude.


It’d be interesting to read more about the psychology of “when people decide to stop eating meat”. Conversely, I’ve talked with individuals who were raised culturally vegetarian who started eating meat as an adult.

Interesting topics all around.


Yeah the non specificity irks me as a lifelong builder and engineer. I mean, welding and the cotton gin are tech if you want to frame it that way.


So is using acrylics or oils for painters. It may have been around for a while but it’s still technology.


Contrary to the sibling comment I think it’s the salt. There was also the guy who ate the ramen in styrofoam bowl for years and had a lump of styrofoam in his stomach.

Personally I just buy dry ramen noodles and make my own sauce or use curry, give a bit more control over salt etc


That's always been my gripe with plastic and styrofoam kitchenware. It will wear, and the worn particles are in your food. No idea how consequential it is, but I don't really want bits of chopping board or plastic bowl in my food.


This is cool but I don’t really like how their material is under a trade secret. I’m sure it’s good under their testing but there are tangible differences between things like lumber/metal/composite grades. What would it mean for something like code compliance/liability etc
