Hacker News is one of my absolutely favorite websites to use. I would argue MOST websites are worse than this blissfully simple text only interface.

I would be hopelessly addicted to Reddit again if they had an HN-esque interface.

I wish HN had a touch friendly comment/thread collapse UX, but otherwise it's pretty good. Slashdot is also surprisingly usable.

These sounds effects are unlocking DEEEP memories. Thank you for sharing!

It's incredible, really. I haven't heard these in 25+ years and yet recognize them immediately. Probably because I heard them repeated 50 million times!

Lots of private planes from the 70’s still being flown, there’s a little cosmetic rust..

Those are getting overhauls in regular intervals though, it’s more like theseus airplane. Except for the structure itself, there is a lot of repair and replacement happening. And they also have a less-than-great safety record (although that is also pilot related).

You know we generally have those adrenaline junkies lead most missions? Apollo 17 was literally the first Apollo mission NOT led by a test pilot.

This is ridiculous. People risk their lives for pretty views and brief moments of adrenaline. I would advise you to touch grass, but you might not want to risk a cut.

This meme of hating someone for having different politics is getting very old. Why didn’t you save the world with all the clear headedness that comes from having the correct politics?
