Here’s the thing. It’s not just about this, but that there is some benefit to struggling to figure out something on your own. I’m not saying that there isn’t room for efficiencies sometimes. But replacing every thought and struggle to solve something will not make us better.
This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Coldest morning since last winter! Lows: DCA 20; Dulles and BWI 14.

I agree.
I know Americans overly romanticize Europe but I still think moving to a little house on a canal in the Netherlands could solve like 82% of my problems

This is so wholesome.
Bryan Reisberg spends one day a week taking shelter dogs out of their kennels, slipping them in a “adopt me” backpack and carrying them around New York.
His goal is to help people see shelter dogs the way he does: curious, sweet and full of potential. https://wapo.st/4iPToS0

Love me a good eruption.
There's a bunch of webcams on top of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano so you can watch it erupt. The latest eruption just straight up assassinated one of them. The lava fountain on the left is landing directly on top of one of the webcams.

Archival research feels like it’s full of these, but then there’s always one throwback archive with a microfiche machine or a paper catalogue (or, indeed: NARA)

Summer of '95 I had a job assembling single-use film cameras, which I did enough that I can still perform the actions. I don't think they even sell them anymore, but even if they do I'm certainly never going to be making them again!
