Finding a quiet hair dryer is something I've been interested in. It's outside my field of expertise, but I'm curious if some of the principles from Zipline could be applied to a hair dryer? There's research showing heari

No idea where you're located, but my family has been on US Cellular for about 30 years. In Iowa, they've consistently had the best service available in rural areas.

GP could be referring to treatment being covered under the prior year deductible or max out of pocket. I have a friend who was hospitalized on December 30th and released on January 2nd. And that's how they hit their max out of pocket t

My high school in Iowa had a shooting range (not sure what type) that had long been coordoned off. In 2007 it was unthinkable that people used to be able to come to school and practice shooting.

I haven't been able to verify, but I was once told at an optometrist or dentist office that they were prohibited from having a different rate for private pay than insurance. Not sure if it was a contractual obligation with insurance co

I understand what you're going for, and it would be helpful as a consumer. I work for a food manufacturer, and speaking only for myself as an industrial engineer, it'd be a pain to have a handful of colors added to every ingredien

I've been using android phones since 2009 and am highly considering a switch to Apple for the next one. Along with the reasons you state, the ecosystem is really messy. I've bought Nexus/Pixel phones for the last 10 years and

I have family in that vicinity and I've probably driven by it a couple hundred times in my life but never stopped. They took over an old Walmart building after Walmart expanded. If you've watched American Pickers (which started in

I have a friend in the industry. Back in the 90's when I was growing up, they mixed the sugar right into the dough. Now it's a glaze added on the surface, which dramatically reduced overall sugar content. Is it a healthy breakfast

I played saxophone through middle school and high school. I loved watching the repairman work on my saxophone. The passion was clearly there, and he was always getting really neat saxophones into his shop. He got saxophones in from around t

I hadn't heard about the 2nd chance pool until I submitted an article and he emailed me to say he was going to 2nd chance it. That was a really neat mod intervention I wasn't expecting but really appreciated.

If you're ever in Maine, I highly recommend the museum. I'm not the biggest car guy, but it was neat seeing everything they had.

I like any excuse to mention the Jones Live Map. Back in the day it hooked up to a car odometer and when the arrow pointed to a direction, you'd take it. It works well as long as you never miss a direction, then it gets off. It'd

I'm a couple years older than you, and got my first smartphone as a junior in 2009. The school had wifi, but students weren't allowed on it. The phone was handy for looking up things, but I was certainly in the minority with a sma

I have had coworkers who wanted to stick with a dumb phone. It sounds great to give junior a dumb phone until they're "old enough", but not much communication happens via sms. It's all done in other apps. Your kids will

Does the timer restart with each ignition start? I'm imagining a thief who is aware of the system diligently putting the car into neutral and turning the car off and on every 40 seconds during their getaway.

Maybe not a 92k platinum model, but a family member does farm bankruptcies. I doubt a 60-70k truck would look out of place in many farm communities. It's not uncommon to buy a nice new pickup every 2-3 years even if the old one is stil

Well shoot...yes, that part fails. Perhaps hexagons cut in half (causing 6-corner intersections) or the isosceles trapezoid pattern below would work. https://robertlovespi.net/2020/06/03/tessellation-of-isosce

It would have been interesting if the west was divided into hexagons which tessellate perfectly and don't have this particular problem. I am curious with the technology available at the time, how much either method would have increased
