For most of my career I worked with a small group (20 to 30) group of highly educated and mostly brilliant people. I barely graduated high school. As the years passed and we all began to age, I realized that the amount…
Read as much as you can from Robert A. Pease. He was the guru to contact when it came to analog design. The column he wrote for Electronic Design can still be accessed on line. If your luck you can find one of his books…
Tacit knowledge is what I've always thought of as "intuitive feel". As you grow in experience in a field, you start getting this feel for what will work and what won't work. This can be a great advantage, or a great…
I maybe out of my league here, but I think you are confusing conditioning, training, and learning.
My best suggestion is to develop another skill that could be distantly related to the skill you already have. In my case, before I retired I was good, not great at circuit design and was good, not great at developing…
Voting for someone you don't want in office because you don't want that person's opponent in office even more is not throwing away your vote? Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to eat for breakfast!

It is my understanding that only about 6000 ancient human skeletons have been found. https://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/human-fossils Many of these are incomplete. So the samples of children with bad teeth could…
I can't help thinking that this problem is being looked at backwards. Maybe in primitive societies good teeth were far more important to survival than they are today. If that were true, then people/children with bad…
Maybe he was just standing in the right place at the right time, but he was also prepared with the right tools to do what he did. Doing good business is more than a spin on a roulette wheel.
Most of us chose the profession/vocation we practice because that is the opportunity that presented itself at the time. Very few people set out to be "rich". What they really want is to be comfortable, and able to…
My Commodore Vic 20 running basic only allowed 2 character variable names.
At what point do we draw the line that a certain number of deaths outweigh a certain amount of human misery or vice versa. In my state they don't even erect a traffic light until a certain number of people have died in…
This is fear mongering at best. Anyone who has had a major injury or has been majorly effected by a disease such as pneumonia knows that it takes years to recover. It's only on TV a person receives an injury or is…
The mark of a true champion is to come back from behind!
I live in one of the most continuously windy parts of the nation (US state of WY). In the winter time, the heater, a ground source heat pump struggles most when the wind is blowing. I've often wondered if a hybrid heat…
I remember in the early 70's being told that with the end of the space race, there was not going to be jobs for electrical/electronic engineers!
Two months ago we were being told the most important problem that needed immediate resolution was planetary climate change. We needed to rely on experts for that one too. It also didn't matter what costs the industrial…
Your right, we should ignore statistical evidence and go with your wife's anecdotal evidence. Your also right about letting the experts run our lives. After all they know far more about how the world works than we could…
Printing money is not the same thing as creating resources. Resources are the backbone of wealth! No resources, no wealth. All resources begin with human activity. No activity, no resources. Reduced activity, reduced…
If you were to buy an inexpensive product to fulfill a certain need in your life, and that product failed before the need was fulfilled, you would not buy the identical product. You would spring for a more expensive…
When I was "in" 45+ years ago, the most important feature of our packs was the ability to shed them quickly so that we could take cover and maneuver our bodies to attack, fight, and survive.
In the 1990's Bob Pease did a series of articles discussing fuzzy logic and how it compared to conventional control systems, here is a link to the first column.…
I live on a ranch. We do not grow any crops, only beef. The surrounding area is a combination of wheat farms and ranches. The reason the ranches aren't wheat farms is because the terrain is just to rugged for productive…
In the mid 1980's I attended a library sale. I bought a collection of Science News magazines that covered the whole year of 1959. For those of you who don't know that was the International Geophysical Year. I don't feel…
