I don't think you understand what training to be a competitive cyclist looks like. 15 ish hours of relatively constant power per week sounds about right for base phase, which tends to coincide with winter. This is different from rec ri

It's zone 2. In the depths of winter base phase, I (not OP) can be doing 3 hours of relatively continuous power on the trainer, up to 5 times a week. It's mind numbing. I would be watching TV otherwise. I'd be outside if I co

It's not unnecessary complexity if the thing wouldn't get made otherwise, especially for a personal project.

The author recommends asking people what their favorite of a category is, which is funny, because that category of question (provide superlative from set) stun locks me instantly in conversation, because I feel like I have to provide a defe

I helped build and operate a medium sized art car at Burning Man. We had a guy on a bike ride directly into the rear of our extremely well lit, loud, and (relative to the bike) large art car. We were parked. He got up and rode away with no

At that point does it make sense to get young and underqualified individuals and train them up yourself? I'm in electrical engineering and basically got into the field in a way that was similar to an apprenticeship, albeit mostly becau

Detectability is one dimension of an error, and "bad wheel speed" has decent detectability I reckon - either through redundancy, grey codes, index pulse checking, bound checking. Also the issue experienced in the post wasn't

There are some parts of engineering in safety systems where you have a single thing that could go wrong that would have serious consequences, and the result of the FMEA is that "it has to not do that".

A friend shared a photo of a wall organizer that (middle school?) kids put their phones into during class. Even though I'm now long out of school, that they sort of have to adapt or else it will really affect the educational outcomes.

I didn't have a phone at all until I was in high school! Looking back on all the times that I was tragically killed or maimed as a result, it's a miracle I'm able to write this comment today!

A little mentioned downside to cast iron is that it's porous enough that it will absolutely absorb certain things like turmeric that will only come out once you cook something else in it, no amount of washing or soap seems to make a di

Salt water is a whole different ball game. I have a lot of respect for the engineering that goes into marine environments.

When i went home to visit my dad, I cooked an egg on his decades old cast iron. He scrapes the absolute bejeezus out of it, has no idea what seasoning is, uses soap. It cooked wonderfully. That was my eye opener moment.

Dawn kinda smells tho, especially when the pan is heated again for the first time. Whatever it pyrolyzes to, I'm not sure I want to smell or eat it. The store brand dishwasher detergent seems to not smell as much but if there's no

Seasoning isn't that precious either. I accidentally left my cast iron on the stove and burned off most of the seasoning, took it as an opportunity to smooth out the surface with sandpaper, gave it a couple of coats of canola and put

??? Lots of phones that are available now and are ingress protected well enough that getting dropped in the pool is a non-issue. Didn't Samsung or Sony have an ad years ago using their flagship phone underwater as a camera?

To be fair they've gotten way better at not breaking. I remember when dropping your phone seemed to be a coin flip of whether you'd crack the screen. I've dropped my phone dozens of times (I'm a fidgeter) with no ill res

Same. Part of the reason the addiction never quite took hold of me is that I could tell that despite the addictive rush they just made me kinda jittery and nauseous. Obviously this varies an incredible amount person-to-person.

They could easily have picked aharmonic intervals, and it would have even been a little easier. But given the opportunity, they chose to make something that added a little bit of color and magic to the world. I love that.

Tardy add-on: after reading TfA this is not a case of cool robot becomes SARbot. This is a suite of specific tools meant to find people in the mountains. Come on y'all, you can't let me get away with middlebrow dismissal like that

It's basically the FREE POINT square on the bingo card at this point. When someone builds a cool robot that they don't know what to do with, it's inevitably for SAR. I've worked on a couple of them myself.

I've done a fair bit of TIG, a little bit of SMAW. Are we talking about welding with basically reduced mains current? AC? SMAW and TIG both require current well in excess of what you can get out of a wall without tripping a breaker. I

I live in the US and can't recall ever having come across a pirate station. Sometimes people have little FM transmitters in their cars to get audio to their car stereos, but those have a range of meters.

Kind of. IRC had a culture of its own. Also yungins might be surprised to learn that we had a distributed, open source communication network, where basically any dipshit with a static IP and a Pentium could start an IRC server and maybe get
