When the West was settled it was widely believed that the act of building a town attracted rain. The 'atmosphere' of human buildings in an area would naturally attract and collect rain from the heavens. Many of the original methods used to estimate water, rainfall, and other essentials for human survival were wrong.

Most of them are catalogued in the outstanding Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner - an excellent book with an outstanding audiobook too.

It begs for a video too!

because the fibers are denser than wood and hydrophilic - so the pockets between the fibers fill with water that displaces the air.

Air pockets become water pockets = neutral.

Fibers denser than water = sink.

How would we represent this as a sticker on a vehicle?

White outline around the clear field w blue dot?

> Which in turn means, in their mind, every part of the system needs to be firing at 100% all the time

This is a classic Goldratt / Theory of Constraints mistake.

Several months ago, ChatGPT swore to me it had interoperability with both excel and Google Sheets. I spent 90 minutes thinking I was an idiot, trying to follow its guidance before asking the internet.

I had a similar experience with the US EPA while in undergrad. It was a shorter experience, but it really changed my view of the organization.

It's common. People would rather work in a Wal-Mart as it is more social and less demanding. The physical space is nicer.

> 8) Abuse is abuse, and people negligent in doing anything about it are participating in it. Get toxicity out of your life.

This needs to be taught more actively in school. Negligence in stopping abuse, or fostering abuse = just as immoral as abuse.

we moved into a home that had wired speakers installed in every room all to a central Sonos enabled device - it is all old. It worked perfectly until this.

Funny thing is, we thought it was silly when we moved in - then we grew to love it. Now I hate them!

View it as a separation process wherein both products can be sold; the caffeine extract is also profitable.

There’s a saying I’ve heard, can’t fully recall, “why go to the doctor - I either get a cut, an injection, or nothing.”

The kid can see the marshmallow. I can’t see the payoff from this article.

The kid knows what the payoff is.

The payoff here is unknown.

Agreed - we’ve got a lot of ‘forever materials’ out on the beach and converted into glass windows.

And that becomes a common constraint in commercializing new antimicrobial and antiviral products.

It’s always great to see more methods of microorganism control - but the challenge here is that the same mechanism likely kills many other microorganisms. Testing it to see that it is ‘safe’ in other settings is expensive and time consuming.

> could it mean that the massive covid infection in the gut didn’t show up on a nasal swab?

Shouldn’t they have known that beforehand? Isn’t that a big red flag in this entire endeavor?

The dog that’s not barking is state by state data from the US, or from within parts of other large nations.

Gov’t rollout of IT - just like any large roll out of IT - remains a mess. The recent work w FAFSA is a good example.

> What kind of guidance can you give me? What would you suggest?

It's really about matching our obligations (family, kids, rent, etc.) against your runway (sales, funding, being able to pay yourself).

If those two things work - then go for it. If not, then you have your answer.

Another way to look at this is that the 'game' phase of your startup just had the clock run out. Did you get far enough to make it full time or not?

This to me feels like most of his plots.

Have they been under the bulbs at the dentist?

How is that different then their oppositions ‘inner’ court?

The Boeing Max is safe and effective.

Running an industrial machine installation and my Eastern European colleagues looped a 200 meter tape measure around the line 4 times to get a more accurate measure.

How dare they do their own research.
