https://one.one.one.one/family/ Cloudflare has a dns option for families that might allow you to add black/white lists - I can't find the documentation for that feature but you might have more success than I have had. It said they would add that feature in the initial announcement
Only a fraction of that can be captured
Very cool - I chatted with someone in NYC, another in Switzerland, and a third in Mumbai, and a few others I didn't ask where they were - there are fascinating people everywhere!

That's really fascinating. I grew up in the SGI, but it's rare to meet people who converted to Buddhism through such interesting and circuitous routes as you have. Thank you for sharing

Are you an SGI member? How did you get into studying the lotus sutra?
Re:Ask HN: Best books you read in 2023 on Wednesday December 13, 2023 @09:51PM (#38637218)
Non-Fiction: travels by Michael Crichton. Fascinating book that gives you different perspective on a variety of topics. Very well written

Fiction: My Uncle Oswald by Roald Dahl- nsfw story about a young guy in early 20th century Europe who develops a method for increasing libido - hilarity ensues.

lol Vancouver is as safe a city as they come - try basically any large city in the us or in the developing world, you'll appreciate Vancouver.

This is the kind of content I come to hacker news for - thank you for posting and thank up voters for upvoting!
You just learned something about yourself - now go and figure out more things about yourself. just because you want something (to be productive 100% of the time) doesn't mean it's what will make you the most effective person possible. Surrender to your ways of being - you will be so much happier than trying to stuff yourself into a box that society or your ego has imposed.

Re:Ask HN: Good Resources for Finding Temp Jobs on Saturday September 16, 2023 @09:36PM (#37540613)
