QAnon believers are winning republican primaries and are likely to win a few house seats. I think the idea of a Flat Earth Caucus in the House of Representatives would also be troubling to people.

Yeah, I asked my girlfriend some question about reddit, and she said "I don't know, I just use the app."

Yeah, I would definitely spend money on a book or video series that goes through this process.

The authors How page is interested but it leaves me with a bit of a "Draw the rest of the fucking owl" feeling.

I did the CRON diet in the early 2000s, and our motto was that we eat to live, rather than living to eat. I don't deliberately restrict calories anymore, but it gave me a unique perspective in a world of celebrity chefs.
I have three stepkids ages 12 to 15 who are all interested in STEM, and we've been looking for a summer coding/compsci project for them. They're into games like Minecraft and Roblox. This might be a good avenue to take.

Back in the day, I actually talked to somebody in one of my C++ classes who made (IIRC) around $50k in a year running some kind of gaming server. I looked into it at the time, but it didn't seem like my cup of tea. I might revisit the idea. I suspect that these high-dollar figures are outliers, but it could be a good way to get the kids some valuable real-world experience and maybe they can make a few bucks so they have a little bit of spending money.

I came across that site probably seven years ago when I was going through Fortune 100 websites and looking at how they were approaching mobile web design, and I had a good laugh at this one. Glad to see they still haven't changed. :)
