Imzy was a pretty weak site though. I used it a bit. Mostly when alt-right types describe websites as `hugboxes` they're just upset about not being allowed to be racist, homophobic, or transphobic - but Imzy was the closest thing I ever saw to a genuine `hugbox`. In the dozen or so times I visited the website I saw very little genuine debate or discussion. The design was also annoying - ironically, not too dissimilar to the much-criticised reddit redesign - so I found little reason to become a regular there.

That's a real shame... I can totally understand that though.

Interstellar is just beautiful every single time. A top-3 film for me. Star wars is of course a perennial favourite. I also have an unwavering fondness for The Truman Show, which I can't quite explain.

I'm too young to have any memory of the 2000 election - besides being British, my age at that point was still counted in months - however this comment drove home (for perhaps the first time) how much recent world history hinges on the smallest things. It's a 'for the want of a nail' scenario of the purest form but one that played out on the very highest of stages. Crazy shit happens, indeed.

I enjoyed this article, the polygon generation was particularly interesting and although I've read a fair few articles on generating this kind of thing that concept was new to me. Thanks for posting!

I watch motorsport. All the time. If not that, I listen to an awful lot of podcasts.

Thanks for the response. I understand all the views you've raised and agree that right now it's not a pressing issue. I think it's a valuable part of hubski that there's a lot of importance attached to a circledot and this dynamic should continue to form a part of the community.

If you look through here you can see a wide range. There are a variety of binding methods but I've never had any issue with the staples.

Because it makes the hub wheel redundant. You've just invented Reddit.

DC-3  ·  2802 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What are your favorite youtube channels?

Brady's channels are great, and he's hilarious on Hello Internet.

DC-3  ·  2802 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski, what are your side projects?

But Is it Webscale?

DC-3  ·  2802 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski, what are your side projects?

Badged because I truly respect people who do things like this. Thank you for your kindness, I'm sure many will benefit from it for years to come.

DC-3  ·  2802 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Does Hubski ever ban users?

Worth saying. I hope it's not a feature I have to use but I appreciate the thought you guys have put into this.

DC-3  ·  2802 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski, what are your side projects?

Keep us posted!

I know this was a while ago but I love my rhodias. Great design, great size, great ink friendly paper. I carry 2 everywhere.

Pan African - Papua New Guinea?

I would dispute that...

The air crash investigation special episode 'Crash of the Century' is well worth a watch if you're interested.

A fascinating wiki list of flags which share this peculiar property can be found here. The Bulgarian city flag is particularly attractive and eye catching.
