Just send someone in the other team a message saying you're interested in learning more about what they do, and would like to grab a coffee.

There's nothing clever about being "smart". And being smart on its own really should not be seen as any kind of good thing. Being smart _can_, however, be an enabler to achieving certain positive qualities (helping…
I have a PhD, because at the time I wanted a career in academia, and I enjoyed research. I did a short post-doc, because I still wanted a career in academia, and enjoyed research. I quit academia because I no longer…
I've used an INOGON entering a marina in the UK, and it really did have a very narrow dredged channel, not a wider safe area. One problem with lights or marks is that they can be very hard to see. At night, there are…
I know my city well, but if I drive anywhere in it, I still put on GPS because roads are really often closed for roadworks here.
Multiple people I know, and myself included, have experience failure of their USB-C port on their phones. I don't think they are really durable enough.
> You know those really annoying shower controls in fancy hotels when you need to adjust two separate knobs for the pressure and temperature separately? That's clunky. I like being able to control those two variables…
Just buy your kid a good quality pedal bike [0], and take the pedals off. That way they can learn to use the brakes, and when you put the pedals on, they will quickly learn to cycle it. Took my daughter an afternoon.…

I used to read it every week, and always liked the fact they stated their biases upfront - "This newspaper believes XYZ". Now I just live under a rock, and don't read any news.
Knowing common knots is not just useful because they are handy, but they also represent a common toolkit - when sailing with someone, if I see they tie a certain thing with a specific knot, I can do likewise. When I see…
All my university (Oxford, UK) exams were in-person and had written. I had 6 exams over 6 days in 2012, in which my entire undergraduate degree was examined. It's not easy, but I think that method is just as good (or…
If hair greying was mostly caused by UV damage, I would expect that the pattern of greying would be even, and begin on the top of the head. In contrast (based on my own unscientific observations!) greying typically…
When most people think of age-related hair greying (which you referenced in your original post), they think of the phenomenon whereby hair follicles stop producing pigments that colour hair. This is distinct from UV…
I've not heard that grey hair is sun damage. Do you have any sources for that?
I really recommend reading "Ravens in Winter" by Bernd Heinrich https://jake-reich.co.uk/blog/17

My home wifi doesn't reach my side the bed from the router downstairs. Best way to prevent doomscrolling.
A central package cooldown is not really any different to individual cooldowns. The main reason for the cooldown is so security companies can find the issues, not that unwitting victims will find them. One problem of…
I have cut myself once, and only once with a sharp knife. I was about 7 years old, and my grandfather gave me a new (sharp!) Swiss army knife.

Call it what you want, but a new life stage begins when we have serious responsibility for another human. For some this comes early, like a "child" looking after a sick parent. For others (like me) this comes with…

Something people often don't consider is the limited resources for doing science - time, money, etc. The positive side to "bias" is intuition. This is where a bias ("I'm pretty sure it'll turn out to work like XYZ, so…
