Being a ham radio at heart, as well as from another galaxy and era, my views on content and communication are perhaps allot more out of line with what today's "platforms" (which is merely a glorified name for web sites acting as bulletin boards) …

I have no problem with the concept of paying per se, however that doesn't really assure me that I'll get what I expect (i.e. interesting and useful content) and in fact it's extremely hard to even define such thing! Seems these days the emphasis is …

Without paid subscription, they offer one "free" article to read via either Google or Facebook "log in" (whatever that means)

Not sure if I should be ashamed, but before seeing article references here knew nothing of "medium". Since I could not actually read them back then, out of curiosity, I had to eventually subscribe. This was back in April, if it helps answer the OP …

Today while driving I received a call from a same area code as mine, and answered it kind of being unsure who that could have been. The ridiculous part, it was a lady saying "they" are in the area and could offer me a roof estimate! How stupid can …

I do.. https://youtu.be/tT9Eh8wNMkw

When they call me and speak Chinese to me, I wonder what the purpose is..

Godspeed

> rumors that KTM balked about providing bikes because Charlie and Ewan wanted sponsorship money Please forgive my totally uninformed comment, but I thought that KTM balking at the proposal was the case in "The Long way Around", and it now seems …

hahahaa thanks for that article! I shamefully admit being way behind keeping up.. The comments section particularly was quite entertaining. If KTM could afford to care less, I still wonder why so many are downright agitated about lost marketing …

I think social media and forums are ways to sustain our human need for socializing but as you mention, we ought to take a step back and see what exactly do we expect from internet, what do we understand by socializing in this way. Is there sense in …

It is said that an expert is someone who knows alot about about a specific, narrowing field of knowledge focus. So much so that the more one becomes an expert, when they will be perfect, they will know everything about nothing.

Here is another related article (and perhaps a bit of advertisement for something which am unsure how well it works). https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/i-strapped-on-the-trtl-neck-pillow-to-try-to-get-some-damn-sleep-on-a-red-eye

Yes! Amazing toy.

Hmm.. admittedly that's a bit snow flake-ish like. I mean even with gasoline motors, running out of gas is a possibility and has to be part of adventure as such. I am not able to find the actual reference of a Greek woman rider, who several years …

That's exactly what it seems to be. I gotta admit, was shocked to read about them two doing it as such. Sure, it has marketing potential, I suppose, but I am very curious to see how this unfolds... I hope it won't be boring! Maybe it will be a …

Well, I think this update is worth sharing here.. https://lonerider-motorcycle.com/blogs/loneriderblog/ewan-mcgregor-and-charley-boormans-long-way-up-will-be-on-electric-motorcycles

> The American Netflix is of course much better than the UK one They shouldn't segregate audience like that, what's the purpose? My perception is they went down with quality and upped quantity of content. They dumped most great movies in favor of …

It's kind of hard to grasp for us mere mortals, but in the old world there are alot of wealthy families for which the act of "making" (i.e. working or putting any effort into it) eight or more figures is frowned upon; they basically have it all. I …

By the way, I want one of these!! https://youtu.be/NU1zTylUhsA

Yeah, they may be a bit behind mastodons like Netflix in terms of sophistication and funding infrastructure - but seems to be performing adequate, and actually I do like a simpler web site rather than Netflix or Amazon dizzying potpourri of …

Chris, when you have some time, in case you haven't yet seen this video - you might like it! https://youtu.be/cmVBNSjjrRo

> What's it cost? It's around $10 USD a month but a year subscription paid in advance was $99 and they have a 14 day free trial.. It wasn't really the price that attracts or deters me, but the content! I still have Netflix subscription too, as …

It has been a while since I had decided Netflix really doesn't cut it for finding and watching quality content.. to my recent delight I discovered a new to me service which I now enjoy. https://www.criterionchannel.com/browse Just posting this …
