Somehow archive.is has mostly stopped working for me on many mainstream sites (Bloomberg, NYT, WSJ, etc...).

I love weighted blankets but have to be careful that they're not "too" heavy. I used to have sleep paralysis relatively often as a kid and a too heavy weighted blanket often re-triggers this, which is obviously terrifying.

I took mine extra heavy, I love it.

If not for comforting my neuro divergeny, I also love it for staying put and not dropping off of the side, or foot, of the bed and falling on the floor.

Only caveat is getting it into the sheet covers. That is hard work lol, quite the workout. Considering skipping that part and just putting it on top of a light bedsheet.

I add a warm, thick blanket on top of the weighted one if needed, e.g. in winter.

It's important to stack it that way. Putting the weighted one on top keeps everything put, but the compression on the warm blanket negates the temperature isolation and it gets cold quick.

I don't understand why people are such huge fans of iMessage / iOS. I have both an iPhone and an Android and the iPhone texting experience is worse in almost every way, including getting way more spam.

Why doesn't a keyword filter exist? Any time someone tries to send me a recruiting message, just let me flag it for auto-deletion please. Jfc.

There's two kinds of news I read, both of which I've found give a "good enough" / "middle ground" picture of things.

1) Financial news, specifically the Financial Times - middle, Bloomberg - slightly left leaning, and the Economist, slightly right leaning. I've found that they have incentives to keep their news as close to just presenting the pure information as possible, as their readers are often making investment decisions based on the quality of the information, resulting in wanting zero "spin". This isn't the case for the NYT or WSJ, which have an incentive misalignment.

2) Anything that shows up on Hacker News. I trust that if something is important enough to get posted here (and make the front page), then I should probably be aware of it. The comments are for the most part measured, analytical, and thought-provoking.

Were the trains running on time in Germany back then? They certainly were 20 years ago, so I assume they were in the 80's.

Maybe "strictly worse than 40 years ago"?

Fun game - never heard of this before.

Great product but quite onerous pricing / rates.

As a fellow bootstrapper the lack of flexibility when it came to dealing with customer service was super frustrating. I referred a few fellow founder friends to them early on but now have made it a priority to switch to an alternative.

Congrats on the 65% margins though!

Not in my experience at all. Very solid product but incredibly frustrating trying to negotiate / get a bit of wiggle room in regards to pricing.

My plan auto-renewed for 2026 but it's become a priority to move everything off of Dato to another CMS for 2027.

Interesting - why Bing?

Bing responds quickly to keyword and page structure optimization. Google depends more on accumulated trust signals, so we rank higher on Bing for now.

What were your issues with f5bot? I tried to sign up and Supabase auth went to spam btw.
