Yeah that's the textbook example of closing a barn door after the horse gets out, eh?

Its cyclical. The tolerance for hangovers and the recovery period went down (god do I hate it) therefore I drink less, thus I have a lower tolerance for alcohol.

I've been absolutely thrilled by the Microprose rebirth of the past couple years.

My mom didn't even get one home from the dealership when it seized up on the highway. Something about the solenoid pack but don't take my word for it, I was all of 8.

Classic 'two steps removed' syndrome. "I told X to get it done. What X did to get it done is not my fault/responsibility."

Yeah we recently had a load pay something like $1.5m to jump up the queue to transit the canal. Not even a "guaranteed transit by X" but just jumping up the line! Which at the time was something like a month and a half long, IIRC.

There are foundational elements, those arrays of panels do have to be mounted to the earth somehow after all. I've built solar farms where we drilled thousands of 5-foot deep, 6-inch diameter holes with 1/4" tolerance for the

There was a period of time there where a friend of mine, real estate agent, was complaining about bigass rear projection big screens which had been overtaken by modern flat panel tvs, often living in dens, rec rooms or basement man caves. A

Better sustained performance with the thermal envelope afforded to only 8 cores vs 12+?

> both objectively much more than the phone is worth Very attractive to someone like me who wrings the last vestiges of life from their phone, I was very surprised to get half off of the S22 when I traded in my ancient S7.

Any rail alignment is a hiking trail if you keep your ear out. Bridges and tunnels might be dicey though.

Does the heating from the laser cause any softening of the glue/weakening/delamination of the layers?

I had no idea. That's actually really neat!

Some places/people have a concern (complex?) about standby or parasitic power draw.

Yup. There's 'The useless modern settings panels' and 'The Win7 holdover control panels I can drill down into, and actually make useful configuration changes in'

Even if the entire front is utterly uneconomical to cover, local defenses like these can be used to provide an umbrella to more important points. Field hospitals, ammo dumps, headquarters, maintenance depots, etc.

Maybe I'm too small minded but I would love to see AI like this enhance...well, the AI in games in general. I long for the day where I no longer play Civilization or an RTS against AI that has perfect knowledge, or is given handicaps t

Like tying a shoelace: the long grey cord goes around the backside of the desk, turns and comes around the front, and back into its own powerstrip. ..Wait why won't it turn on?

Loved that game, and playing 'rocket ping pong' against my brother, where we were allowed only rocket launchers and force push.

Having spoken before with some logistics folks/route planners for large trucking outfits: Its a tricky problem in that it's hard to keep the clearance data current. An example I was given was that routine road maintenance might in

Related, I wish there was a good way for parking garages to advertise their vertical clearances, beyond the headache bar at the entryway. I was recently invited to a vendor dinner at a nice restaurant in a downtown area with no street parki

It would seem ideal to have the line-up area where cars are turned in, inspected and cleaned set up with a bunch of retractable charger leads in the ceiling, ala shop air. As soon as you pull up, the attendant pulls down a lead and plugs th

At what point does the hardware at the end of the fiber become the bottleneck (or is it already?) Are splitters required to branch of certain wavelengths or whatever to discrete networking hardware to process that volume of traffic?
