The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining to create a "doom loop" for the world's poorest people, as staple food prices soar.
MoviePass and Sinemia got me into like 50 movies. I think my favorite part of that glorious year (less, but let’s round) was when one of the services just stopped working one day and I had prepaid for a year’s service. I reached out to my credit card company and said I got shorted X months of the service. They refunded me the full amount of the prepaid year, so I essentially got months of newly released movies (I’d typically go on Friday afternoons to have fewer people in the theater and the line for concessions) for free.
I should add, the RunPee app saved me so many times I can’t even tell you. Seriously, my favorite app even tangentially related to movies. Get the Infinity Coin if that’s still offered, it’s a great deal for a lifetime of not missing the good parts, especially if you see Christopher Nolan movies regularly.
It’s probably a minor thing, but I dearly miss the Apollo feature to press on the title bar while deep in a comment thread and have it take me to the top. A second press would then return you to where you were....

I can imagine people having fun getting lost in the flow of playing a competitive sport. I’ve also heard some people experience a post-workout high. But does anyone actually feel pleasure in the moment while lifting weights, jogging, cycling, etc?...
Hey dog nerds / makers. I was surprised to find there isn’t a commercial option out there for detecting when a dog is doing a dump. For my pup at least an acellerometer that shows he is motionless and at an angle between standing and sitting should be a pretty good predictor of pooing behavior. I saw some blogs about a guy...
How is this better than going with your dog while they’re outside or watching them on a camera? Are you planning some kind of geotagging so you don’t miss a soft landmine?

Being able to breathe underwater, no boosts to handling pressures and no talking to fish. You can’t go rescue dumb submarines, you still swim slower than any trained seal or dolphin, and cleaning the office fish tank doesn’t require swimming.

Why do Gezendong-style-tankies support Putin and Xi-Xinpin so much ?
Why would communist support capitalists like Putin and Xi-Jinping which aren’t better than Liberal-capitalists ?...
