I think this is something to keep in mind whenever approaching a new project, especially solo. Eventually, the end of the road is unavoidable. I started teaching an (older) adult Sunday school class almost exactly one…
This is true. The outcome is also terrifying. The asymmetric warfare that has been enabled by inexpensive drone tech has so many vast implications that I'm not even sure we've seen every possible avenue this could…
I think there's a great deal of underestimation of China's manufacturing. Granted, wafers are a totally different thing than any of the other industries they've dominated for cheap, but I certainly wouldn't count them…
"An account of human suffering" (assuming I remember the approximate title) is one of his earlier videos that sticks out in my mind and one I'll never forget. It was a tongue-in-cheek nod to the fact board diagnostics…
That's because I think it's more accurate to call it a megalithic codebase. :)
Most of what I get seem to be advertisements or automated messages if you follow large(r) accounts. One of the most interesting things that I've noticed is these advertisements will be triggered if you follow accounts…
You jest... (but probably not!) I remember when I was first using my alma mater's online sign up for classes in the very early 2000s, their class sign up site had office hours.
It still does. I'm not sure what benefit it is for people to point out such mistakes, but my biggest problem comes from glide typing. Often, my device decides it knows better what word I intended than what I actually…
It's not just electron apps or browsers, as I'd argue modern .NET apps are almost as bad. I have an example. I use Logos (a Bible study app, library ecosystem, and tools) partially for my own faith and interests, and…
It's also the difference between 1lb and 6lbs also, so the analogy isn't perfect. The problem is that once you approach the limits of the average human ability, multipliers can transform something possible into…
I have to agree. Backing up my Tundra (8' bed) feels substantially safer since I can see immediately behind the vehicle than any pre-regulation vehicle I've driven. That doesn't even account for the convenience with…
Sometimes it can be a genuine mistake. I was in my garage with my keys in my back pocket, checking the tire pressure on my truck, when it started honking at me. My butt triggered the panic button. I have acute hearing.…
It's August for us here in the SW US, but there's been construction in the area that has displaced a number of them at odd times of the year. Fortunately, snakes will generally leave you alone unless they're provoked or…
I live in an area where we have these[1], and they're generally not something you see all that often. Their biggest danger isn't their venom (they're less venomous than the diamondback) so much as their curiosity, which…
Human proclivities tend toward repetition as well, partially as a memory/mnemonic device, so I don't see this as disadvantageous. For example, there's a minor opinion in biblical scholarship that John 21 was a later…
I really hate trying to carry conversation in restaurants for that reason, and because the background noise levels can often get to a point where you can only hear the person sitting right next to you. You're absolutely…
I'm going to shamelessly borrow your phrasing, because what you've described is exactly what happens: It's a rotation through other participants so neither the study leader nor other individuals have to "[carry] the…
Yup, and that's another reason it works so well. Now, it does break down somewhat when the core discussion is over or if someone is a bit disruptive (which has happened recently). As a sibling comment to yours wrote, it…
This is a really interesting observation, because I'm in an adult discussion class in Sunday school that is arranged like a circle, and I've been trying to figure out why it seems that structure works so well at…
Hunt for Red October for me also!
Yeah, really... I picked up a 128GiB card from the store on something of a whim a while back, and I'm not even sure I paid more than about $18USD (with tax) for it. I bet I could have gotten it cheaper, but I was…
Partially, this is because parallel works that exist often reference them pejoratively as part of a polemic. As the article mentions, she could be Lilith from the Bible (Isaiah 34:14), mentioned only once, whose…
> and...reality in a big way This is the part that frightens me somewhat, because I don't think the public is prepared for what's coming. Although, it's of secondary concern to me versus your first point: >…
I suspect part of this is because smokers, generally, don't always live long enough to actually get cancer, and statistically their year-over-year cancer risk drops to the same as the general population when they do…
You know... this makes a LOT of sense to me. On the other hand, I really appreciate the minimalism of some modern ambient scores, but I'm not sure me from 15-20 years ago would have had any tolerance of it.
