What about magnetic water cleaners? Anything crackpot is an attempt to usurp the way things are with the way people want them to be. Free energy, electric thrusters, magnetic health bracelets, one weird trick for clean teeth... these all ap

That's what I do. If the candidate is in the room I hand them my keyboard. If they are on a google hangout I send them a link to collabedit.com. People seem to do a lot better with a keyboard and syntax highlighting.

There are super low power accelerometers with wake on movement. Simply require the key be recently moved about to activate the door. If the key is not awake, it can't answer any challenges.

This is simply product recommendation software for the government instead of a corporation like Amazon. Same software; recommends people instead of products! I also see an isolationist aspect: A citizen who spends significant time abroad wo

I wake up about 5 minutes before I wish to wake up. After doing this a few months I stopped setting the alarm and continued to wake up on time. I think it is likely related to training against other criteria: birds, sunrise, cars ... etc. s

Best strategy I've seen from watching is to gain mines until you have a sizable portion, stay adjacent to a beer until you see someone you can kill, kill them, then go straight for a beer. If you are constantly using the beer you becom

GREAT FIND! Very interesting read. I liked the parts about how lack of concern for pedestrians in the system is a legacy issue. Also interesting is the segment on stop bars for high speed stops. I never considered that the light stays yello

If it works for you and your fellow members then that's great. I enjoyed seeing a quick view of how your office runs. There are obvious downsides, but also obvious upsides. Sound's like a fun commune that actually makes some money
