If the goal is the building. Balsa kits (an xacto knife, 2 bottles of super glue [thick/thin], CA-accelorator) are the way to go. Discuss gliders are easy to manage the risk of learning how to fly, and are light, so…
Fiscal policy was used to ensure we didn't all starve during the pandemic, and that 2024 didn't do it's best 1928 impersonation. Was inflation worse? Of course. The conditions and context of either presidency aren't…
Option 1: Confront your mental blocks and shitty life with depression. Option 2: Confront your mental blocks and shitty life with less depression (due to pharmacology). Option 3: Confront your mental blocks and shitty…
Ah yes. Physics, the ultimate gatekeeper. If an idea doesn't work on the back of a napkin, it's done. Think about other approaches to the problem and get another napkin. I think that's what he's getting at. Analysis…
Ironically the only reason the lake still exists is the runoff that's poisoning it. As agricultural practices tighten up, the lake will dry/concentrate even more.
Don't think I'm too crazy but last time I checked: 1. Yes they are microcontrollers. 2. Yes they use C/C++. (check the libraries/SDKs, 1 layer under the hood it's all .h/.cpp files, and most of the arduino calls are…
Just recalling what I did a couple years ago. Bluetooth is an absolute nightmare if you don't understand the majority of what's going on (which in and of itself takes... a lot of time). There's a bunch of logic going on…
I think it just requires a reframing of what to expect. Films from Tarkovsky or other capital D Directors "of Director's Directors fame" are less plot driven. Films from older eras are less plot driven / hadn't…
[1] is an exceptional book for a bright teen, especially so if you suspect the teen leans into their intelligence/abilities to gauge their self worth (I don't know a single person, let alone teen who doesn't do this).…
Even more so when you see how quickly a skilled harvester runs through a vineyard. They're pulling clusters almost every other second.
I was taught never to trust eye contact either. They could be looking past you and motorcycle profiles are very low. I'm looking for a stationary front wheel hub. Any movement merits a reaction. Having an indicator that…
1.2 ** 2 == 1.44. So... ? Power is linear wrt area of the disk?
I look up directions before-hand and draw maps. It works most of the time as long as you plan to be a little late "snoopin" around.
Apples and oranges though. Murakami writes symbolic surrealism. A far-cry from down-to-earth (rome?), politically driven scifi. I think 1Q84 is possibly his worst work. He aimed for the moon and the rocket blew up on…
It's a 3 million person suburb. There is no "there" there.
I am in love with books and the notion that you can talk with another person long dead without any distortion or distraction. Some rules I abide by: 1. Any book that you expect to read once and once only (popular…
Any tips on signing up?

I've found that todo lists only work if they're put in context of larger goals and you have a system to repeatedly, frequently pop() the top of the list. It's OK (and common!) to have a todo list of 100 things, as long…
Maybe this is an obvious question, but is spacex allowed to bump / not take orders from its opponents in favor of its own internet satellites? That would effectively force any competitor to launch with someone more…
Currently living in a lively midwest town, 10 minutes walk from downtown and three separate centers of attraction. 500/month. It's possible.
I worked with a programmer in his 40s who hunt and pecked. A generous estimate of his speed would be 10 wpm. He would always yell back at anyone critiquing his typing: Think more, type less. He was one of the better…
I switched to dvorak and would never go back. 1. It took me two weeks to get to ~35wpm, and it was absolutely grueling. The next two months I ramped up to ~80. Now I'm slightly faster than my top qwerty speed (qwerty is…
Is the counter-swing of low-fluff incomprehensible density? I think if you want to avoid fluff, read something that was written more than 20 years ago. Time has a means of eroding away the pop-sci books (Will anyone…
This may not be 100% accurate in nomenclature, but it gets the point across. Laminar flow is uniform and very easy to model mathematically, hence the reference to its "clean-ness" (e.g. clean [simple yet functional]…
