I’m in the “WHO is ineffective at best” camp, but I agree with you here. They have been conservative in their statements. I don’t recall them ever saying “it doesn’t spread person-to-person” - I do recall them saying…
I’m actually not sure what I “normally” shoot at. I shoot manual and dynamically adjust my settings to the scene almost unconsciously. Now I’m curious to see if I can run some statistics against my Lightroom library. I…
I would love to see a follow-up to this in the form of an interview with someone (or as many people who are still alive) who worked behind the scenes at Simulmatics. The events in the article happened 61 years ago, so…
I’m only a “semi-serious” photographer at this point, but I’ve spent thousands of dollars in the past ten years based largely on the subjective quality of bokeh.
Remington tried to pivot into the semi-auto handgun market with the R51. It’s a good design, but one that doesn’t mesh well with modern manufacturing techniques. They pumped a ton of money into getting it to market, and…
> rather the notion that they crash so god damn often Perhaps they aren't crashing on accident, but are shot down? I'm not saying I believe that, of course, but "crash" != "accident".
How would nuclear power do anything other than make it much heavier than it would otherwise be and let it stay aloft much longer?
As cool and revolutionary as that would be for the future of mankind in the long run, it wouldn't have any immediate or short-term impact. Anti-gravity/electrogravitics would make all kinds of sci-fi stuff possible. It…
Apparently I’m just a moron, because i see no reason to believe your post was satirical. The advice is silly, sure - but I’ve seen worse advice posted here, and this very thread is full of people who are apparently…
It pretty much did, until he started ordering fake IDs shipped to his house...
Not necessarily. It’s possible that the necessary info was merely accessible through info that was posted on Slack.
You have valid points, but I’d argue that Python looked like that for much of its life. It didn’t really start to see widespread adoption until Django hit the scene - from memory, 2012-2014 was when it started to go…

Ah, this strikes right at the core of the primary differences underlying American society today. I don’t care at all what the doctor’s motivations were - I only care about their actions. In this case, those actions were…
> you're MORE upset because of the gendering interaction, that's wrong. I strongly disagree. This isn’t about gender as a social construct. This is about a licensed medical professional causing significant changes to a…
My understanding is that serum estrogen levels are strongly correlated to increased risk of heart disease in men.
My lay understanding is that the absolute levels of testosterone and estrogen are much less important for men than their relative levels. I actually had blood drawn a couple of weeks ago to check for this very thing.…
The reverse is also true - I recall reading an artucle that lists English names and their (often offensive) homonyms in Cantonese.
There is a hypothesis, “nominative determinism”, that posits that people tend to gravitate toward professions that “match” their names. I don’t fully buy it, but it’s an interesting idea that has at least some evidence…
Anyone have an idea what these are used in? I originally thought they might be used for 3D printing, but that doesn’t seem to be the case - except, perhaps for chamber temperature.
The biggest thing that’s stopping me is that I can’t decide if I want to buy one that’s in pristine condition (and never want to use it for fear of damaging it) or one that’s beat up and has tons of imperfections (and…
I still want a Zero Halliburton briefcase. It would be wildly impractical for me, but I want it nonetheless.
