There’s huge variability even in some of the gyms in the article, whether from site to site or inter-tester variability. Whether or not it improves safety, if it helps places like this stay open and solvent I guess that’s a win, but I wouldn’t rely solely on someone’s passing a gym’s test for me to let them catch me in a lead fall.

I’ve also been failed in seemingly spurious details that I was subsequently passed on with different testers at several gyms.

And then nobody goes on to bat eyes at the galling maintenance costs, insurance, registration, or taxes on cars, but yeah $4k (or euro or gbp) for an e bike seems like a stupid idea to people for some reason. I think it’s either bad marketing on the part of the ebike folks or pernicious effort on the part of car manufacturers.

I have found that the closer I become to being incorporated into our geology that it becomes ever more fascinating!

My new business, electric chairman, has even loftier goals.

This is my understanding of the state of the art in transmitter technology too. ELRS equipment and software offer a number of advantages over every other protocol I have used. It’s easier to pair and configure, it offers robust connectivity even in lossy signal environments, and its range exceeds that of any video downlink on any of my aircraft.

V5 was always my favorite, but the v7 consistently stands up to my ham handed abuse without ruining the ball. They will leak if flown with or washed, and because of a few dramatic ruptures I have been experimenting with the uniball vision fine with excellent results.

And then also having the time to put those scarves in the laundry.

Anecdotally I had general anesthesia a couple times in my 30s and both times I felt like I came out of it permanently stupider. No complications or other observable side effects either. I’ve done fine in spite of it but this makes me interested again!!

I’m an old dad (by my standards, 41 with two toddlers), and this is the reason. It took me most of my young adult life to even get to a stable configuration where kids felt remotely possible. No regrets over here, but I have less energy than I did when I was 30!

The fact that my cheap-o air purifier has soft buttons and no way to turn it on autonomously (I.e. on an automated outlet) is infuriating. What value do membrane switches add?

Nowhere did I say stupid… everyone is susceptible to propaganda, and to deny its influence in this particular circumstance seems naive.

As a recovering bike mechanic of 20 years (my retirement goal is to be able to afford doing that job again, it’s joyful but hard to make a living) the writing has been on the wall for several years about the many benefits of wider tires (and rims too I suppose). From fewer puncture flats, to greater comfort and traction, to actually lower rolling resistance, I dknt see a move back to narrower tires being something that ever happens and I couldn’t be happier about that fact! I’m too slow and old to reap any performance benefits, but my comfort and enjoyment of wider tires makes me ride my bike more. https://www.renehersecycles.com/bq-tire-test-results/

I can sight read sheet music and I still use tabs constantly. It’s just another tool, and one I rather like for learning guitar type music. It has neither impeded my understanding of the guitar nor my understanding of music in general, so I’m with you in not being sure what OC is on about.

They voted for it because they were propagandized into believing it was in their interests.

I wouldn’t sell the fish short either. The more we learn about them the more multitudes we learn they contain.

Amen saurik! Nice seeing you here and at Milongas. Here’s to enjoying joy and beauty.

I treat them as the lifesaving medications they are. I have always maintained my working and professional life. Vyvanse allowed me to maintain all of the other relationships in my life and be an effective parent in addition. I’d rather not take it but the alternative is way worse!

As a former pro bike mechanic I have never used the park blue book, I cannot count the number of times after he created the site that I leaned on Sheldon. I still use his wisdom and knowledge even having not professionally serviced bikes for 10 years. My retirement plan is to become wealthy enough to afford working in a bike shop again.

Communication and creativity can do almost anything, but dysmorphia is a hell of a drug.

No, the employees are compensated for the time they spend working. My salary is not a profit, it’s an exchange of services for goods. My stock dividends ARE profits, excess revenue disbursed by the company to its shareholders.

It's not brave, it is an important topic. Hundreds of thousands of scientific studies over the last two centuries excluded female subjects because it was too hard to predict their wild female hormones or some other ghastly excuse. Biological sex differences do have important, medically relevant, and poorly understood impacts on health across the lifespan, and unfortunately the field is in its infancy.

The APU on atlas missiles used ethylene oxide to fuel the turbine, you don't need hydrazine to get toxic aerospace chemical exposure. I would also bet all the money in my pocket those structures are chock full of asbestos and lead.

I LOVE jhipster for rapid prototyping, their tool is the best in class.

This is one of the few tells that I am from the south when I speak. If I am talking to someone from the mid-atlantic, where pin-pen is still strictly differentiated it can lead to some interesting confusion!

I love it. SQLite is light, easy, and useful in a variety of situations.

I agree, and I think you should only go into management if you like managing. You can be a good IC and a good leader and a good manager, but more than likely you will be better at one or two out of those three.

I do, for one, and I truly love my middle management job. It is really compatible with my brand of insanity!

Mine is from '91 but same. I also don't fully understand the flaming the model M as flimsy, I am fairly confident I could use mine as a medieval cudgel if I needed to!

Not my thing personally (at least not today). I could buy a lot more toys and BS and retire earlier if I took one of those jobs, but my already generous (not by FAANG standards) programmer salary is enough and it comes along with a sane schedule and reasonable work expectations. The value in this is I get more time outside of work to enjoy my life, which is worth more than an extra pile of lucre when I already get by pretty comfortably.

it looks like the jobs are exportable as JSON, which would make it far more maintainable than some of the existing proprietary ETL tools (lookin' at you IBM).
