For centuries, Korean peasants lacked food and endlessly complained of hunger but I won't cherry pick random historical (and foreign) observations to support it.
Re:Show HN: Keeps – Mail a postcard that plays your voice on Tuesday August 12, 2025 @01:45AM (#44872811)
Good to know! Thanks!

The order detail page still shows Sending To as United States. Is this also a display issue?

Just sent one! It's a lovely idea. I think most people love getting postcards and the voice message is a nice surprise for the recipient.

Two things.

1) The photo upload gets stuck on loading from the landing page. I think this is due to the file size? I uploaded the same photo from the actual page where you can customize the postcard and I was given a size limit warning.

2) I tried using a non-US address for both the sender and recipient. Both addresses were verified, but on the preview all of the address was omitted except the street number. This could only be a preview issue but I re-added the address in the optional section just to be safe.

Edit: actually a third thing. The non-US address was recognized with the appropriate city but the country still shows United States. My order number is #2CD56A

Too many grammatical and punctuation errors for it to be AI.

If one is too lazy to infuse, it’s nice to add homemade caramel or compote. Snacks like Lotus biscuits are excellent too.

The Thujone must definitely metabolize in some way to create that feeling even at trace amounts.

While ranked lower amongst enthusiasts, I’m partial to Kübler Abinsthe. It’s always a great euphoric drunk and without the head heaviness of many alcohols once you get to a certain level of inebriation.

Re:The Trap of "I am not an Extrovert" on Friday December 27, 2024 @04:29AM (#42520966)
The presumption that introversion equals shyness still pervades even with what seems to be a cultural awareness amongst people on where they stand on that trait.

I'm very much like you in that many people mistake me for an extrovert because of the opportune occasions where I display "extroverted" traits in social settings. However it's more of a decision (mostly based on energy) than a default mode I fall back on.

as a lurker here and at lfgss, just wanted to say lfgss exposed me to so much that i'm thankful for (not only fg/ss but also in cycling culture + more)

so thanks for all that buro9! <3
