I would say they still do have ways of figuring these things out - even incredibly complicated things. It just takes a little longer. It also depends at what level of abstraction you want to look at things anyway. You probably didn't k

I'm happy to say my exposure to literal insanity has been somewhat tapered over the years, so visiting Voat a while back was eye opening to say the least. There are clearly some very mentally ill people using that site. The issue is,

You forgot the last part. Live fast, die young; slowly, and painfully in a hospital bed.

Implying I care about making music? It's a different hobby all together. They merge to some extent, but I enjoy designing synths much more than I do making music on them. I enjoy the act of building. A person interested in writing soft

Sure! You can buy electric water pumps fairly cheap online. They normally come as 12V devices so you'll have to use a relay and a 12V supply, and some sort of circuit to drive the relay using the 3.3V GPIO from the Pi. You can control

No, but very similar! I made mine as a product you could attach to any board, as opposed to the strips being embedded and shaped into the board like the one in this video (which normally cost thousands to buy...) A few of my friends rode th

I started when one of my teachers allowed us to take said A5 sheet of paper into my A-Level mock exams. All the class did well, as we had this lifeline. Next exam we were given the same instruction but this time, unbeknownst to us until we

All I'm thinking is that there's likely some very desperate people out there looking very hard for these drugs in a cheaper form, and with a bit of viral marketing magic from the pharmacist I don't think it would be a massive

There's a guy on YouTube that got me into it which I highly recommend, called 'LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER'. He made a synth organ out of old Furbies toys. From that point I was sold. Also, as much as I love the Thonk products, don&

Is there any law as to purchasing/producing unregulated drugs in the US? If not, I'm surprised some budding pharmaceutical chemist hasn't swooped in and started producing these sorts of drugs. You know, free market capitalism

Or go a step further and build them yourself. You get to keep the house, but you won't be able to make much use of it because every available space is taken up with a random assortment of wires, op-amps, resistors and capacitors. DIY s

I do something similar. My method is always to try and fit everything I need for an exam on a single A5 sheet of paper, as if I could take it into the exam with me. The first 5 or so drafts I'd never be able to fit enough on, so with e

I'm definitely open for suggestions on the note taking software front. OneNote is sometimes pain to use, but Microsoft have designed it to work relatively seamlessly with the Surface line so it's what I defaulted to. I'll giv

I have a (basically non-existent) side business selling LED strips and RPi lighting controllers for surfboards! If you've seem some viral videos with guys surfing around at night, they were probably using my gear :-) Briefly put, I use

I'd say it's very much more close to a scale than a binary "good/bad" when it comes to micro-management. Sure, I don't want to have to explain myself every hour as to how things are going, but I likewise I don&

Agreed. Unfortunately, as useful as it used to be I tend to not use Search Engines at all anymore. I've had to return to the days of old where SE's didn't exist in any useful capacity, and bookmark everything of value. It&#

To add anecdata to further your point, I wasn't sure engineering was for me until I found a manager who could guide me as a junior. I was fully prepared to quit and change careers, as I felt completely out of my depth and questioned my

I think his are all Audible exclusives as far as I'm aware. Despite what you may say about their aggressive marketing practices, these narrations would exist without Audible. They approached Fry about narrating these books, and without

It's almost like products need multiple iterations under real life test conditions before they become functional designs!

Second that. When I finished his Holmes narration I went and listened to everything else he had on Audible. Victorian Secrets is also very entertaining, as well his "Fry's English Delight" podcast. The man is a treasure.

If you get the opportunity, listen to the fantastic narration of the audio-books by Steven Fry. I don't find myself reading much outside of tech specs nowadays, but listening to these while I was working was a joy. I binged every singl

Is there any way to go back to 'full' view after clicking on something? I clicked on a picture and can't for the life of me work out how to go back.

I read the Mistborn novels following my reading of Stormlight, and compared to the later I really struggled to get through them. They read more like teen-fiction in comparison. There's been a stark improvement in his writing quality. T

However, under a socialized healthcare system it's completely unlikely they would pay anything at all . That distinction probably saves lives on stress-relief alone.

Poor example then, but I have worked with aircraft where we've paid hundreds for a bolt, which is more than the price of the thing we're fixing, just so we don't have to go through the pain of replacing the whole unit - even
