I didn't watch the video. Like the sibling post, I can't imagine too many people meandering around with a helmet on, unless the task requires a helmet. Even those tasks don't always get people wearing a helmet. The picture lo

I am quite fond of the mobile workstations from Titan. They are a bit heftier, but I'm okay with that. You can customize them into real beasts.

Reboot. The emacs solution seems to be they haven't figured out how to exit so they just stay there.

I am not sure I want hard components located inside a helmet. I was hit on my motorcycle, head on, and Superman-ed into the car that had crossed into my lane. The helmet saved my life, quite probably. It was so effective that Buell wanted i

And more intermittent. They cover things in medical school that are important (and tested for in class) that don't make their way to the final examination. Those are things a medical doctor should know. There are also labs that cover t

> goats for milk and the odd lambchop. Just to avoid confusion, lamb chops come from lambs - sheep. It's probably just a grammar issue, but I figured I'd note this. Also, goat is delicious. Americans don't eat much goat or

That's distinctly not stealing.

Signs are very expensive. They require special paint that has to reflect a specific amount of light. They must be of fairly exact specs, requiring proprietary fonts, and are often low volume and customized. There is also the installation, w

Most of us do stupid things. Some of us just get caught. I worked in detention, at a military facility. There was a sign where we went from the staff area to the secure area. It read, 'There but by the grace of God go I.' I'm

They let them out because they believe they are no longer a threat. That's different than what people call their debt, in that it is just a portion of the total debt. If not obvious, I don't agree with that sentiment. I think pris

When I do that, I try to do the opposite of what it seems everyone else does. Namely, I try to give away the good books. It seems most want to keep the good books and give away the not so good books. I try to give away books that I'd w

LibreOffice added the ribbon earlier this year. It's optional and not the default. Also, I understand most users like the ribbon in MS Office. Most vocal people appear not to, but I recall an article about a survey and most ranged from

Yeah, I read about that later. I was actually later than that site but didn't know about a movement or anything. I got the idea from having found a book in my youth. I wasn't sure if the book had been left or lost, but it was a go

I'm not sure there is one, unless one wants something that resembles authoritarianism in the name of preserving liberties. That there creates a mental knot I've not yet unraveled. It's hardly democratic to prevent people from

I'll say that Ishmael is something that is a bit different every time I read it. No, obviously the words are the same every time. But, each time, I take something different away. I think that only the first time did I take away what th

Yeah, I tend to just get up and go on long journeys. I try to make them mean something more than just engaging in wanderlust. It has given me the chance to see the world and meet many, many people. I wish I'd more replies from my book

Ishmael. The reply was more about the note that I'd left than the book itself. Though, they thanked me for the book and felt that it'd be something they might appreciate later in life. They said that it was too deep for them and t

That's a horrible idea. Not everyone is going to output the same amount of work, some will legitimately be more prolific than others. I sort of agree with the sentiment, but artificial limitations doesn't seem like a good idea.

On one of my trips, I bought a number of copies of a few books and left them in random places as I drove, more or less randomly, around the country. I put an email address in each one, along with a quick note. I got exactly one response. I

I think they are saying the opposite. Some of the stats in the thread seem to indicate that a not insignificant minority do self employ or consult.

The funny part was it was during one of my extended wanderlust adventures and I'd just finished spending a couple of weeks volunteering in Greenville, KS. They'd just been almost totally destroyed by a tornado and I happened to be

They have more tests that are administered and you glossed over them covering more than is on the tests you mentioned.

by KGIII 9y ago
The same things wrong with a wealthy person doing so. There is much more than is on exams. Exams are easy to pass, experience is hard to fake. Much, much more is covered than exams cover. That stuff is also important.

There's no need to be a cynical jerk... ...they are just going to cancel it a few years from now.

LOL I opened this thread to post exactly that. It's not very practical, in my experience, but it is a great time waster and a lot of fun. I'd suggest the unfamiliar check out the video.

I think it is a silly argument in the first place. See, they are additional preventable deaths, and not accidental. Comparing them is pretty silly. That said, I still don't like reductions in liberties due to fear of terrorism. Freedom

I once had a pair of police officers try to tell me that my refusal to let them search the vehicle was grounds for probable cause and would enable them to legally search my vehicle. I laughed and pointed out that I'm not a teen and am

You appear to be assuming they didn't see it coming or know it was happening.

LOL I recognize that. It was a reply to me. For reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15338480
