This process was mandatory at my last company, and it was really helpful. People are way more likely to respond to your email or do something for you as a newer employee if they've met you, particularly so if you can meet in person.

A former coworker shared the worst networking issue he ever encountered. He came in one day and his network wasn't working. He tried all the standard things, rebooting, trying different protocols, etc but couldn't figure it out. P

Yes they do. My local center will give a tour to a group of 6 or more. I haven't put a group together yet, but it's on my list.

I don't have the answer handy, but I do know there is a ton of research that goes into wind farm optimization. Location of the towers, cost to build, etc. I am curious how much small elevation differences impact optimal positioning of

South Dakota is home to a preserved missile site. I'd highly recommend stopping by if you're ever in the area. It was fascinating to see the control room as the tour guides talked through the launch protocol. Back in high school ~

I use it for 95% of my browsing, with exactly the extensions you mention, but I do have to recognize it's stability is rough at times. Every now and then I run into a site that fails hard, crashing the entire UI on my Pixel 6 Pro. Admi

I believe the machines generally disable themselves and need a factory technician to re-enable them should they fault out.

I bet the long path through every department IKEA nudges you to take forces their hand a bit compared to, say, a grocery store.

Availability is another big issue. You find a daycare that's great for your kid and safe. Then some staff turnover and you're not thrilled with it anymore. In my area, the wait is around 18 months for a slot in a different daycare

I'll be another vote for ynab. It takes some getting used to, but it makes it very easy to see where things are, save for specific targets, verify bills are getting paid, etc. $100/year, but they don't sell your information o

Totally agree with #4. My wife recently double scanned an item at the self checkout. At every other store, this means deleting the item from the scan list then waiting for an employee to come over, login, and approve the removal. Nope, not

For well over 10 years it has been very common to vary treatment within a field. Any harvester made in that time has had real-time GPS tracking of the yield throughout the field. Spray applications can be applied to particular areas with an

Not GP, but nothing about ML engineer demands knowing nuances of audio file formats for future proofing. I just downloaded from Bandcamp for the first time. I've heard FLAC is sort of the go-to format for good quality, but when presen

My wife and I do the same, though with Google Keep. There is also a Google sheet for packing to go on trips. Each column is a trip, with rows labeled with items, and the intersecting cells filled with NA or an X when packed. Some family mem

As of 2015 when I worked there, Boise was almost entirely R&D. Since then, they did a fab expansion, and I'm not sure if any of that ended up for production. Production was in Manassas, Virginia as well as numerous locations in Asi

We sold our first home with some help of a FSBO service. I think it was $1,500. They wrote the property description (and passed it by me), created the 3d virtual tour which in my experience gives an amazing preview on whether the house woul

The varying wall thickness is interesting. Presumably they reduced the thickness the further they got from Russia, as the pressure drops. One of the methods used for clearing a stuck pig is reversing the flow. I wonder how reversing flow wo
