Gah the word "infarction" drives me crazy since it's so close to "infraction"

Yeah, I had an anterior tibialis from a cadaver grafted onto my biceps tendon ("grafted" in this case really means stitched onto the remnants of mine with metal thread and then bolted into my radius bone). Recovery was long and br

Hell, get a clipboard and a vest that says INSPECTOR on the back of it and go to a construction site and people will actively avoid you.

Whenever I see reports about these skimmers, I always wonder how in the hell someone managed to install that thing into the pump without anyone seeing them do it. Every gas station that I've ever been to has had a direct line of sight

From the article, it doesn't sound like it's coming out of the drains. It sounds like chemicals are being released when they fill pipe sections with steam which then dissipates into the surrounding air. The fumes exposure is proba

Talk about a perfect storm. Earthquake, fire, then when you thought it was finally over...the largest tsunami in history. That probably helped with the fire, at least.

Go slowly getting back into things. I know you know that, but it's worth reiterating. Not because I'm worried you'll hurt yourself, if you've competed you know your body well enough to not to do that, but because I know

I see what you're getting at, but it should be mentioned that the words were "vulgar" language that had nothing to do with anything political. Anyone who wanted to keep up even the most minimal appearance of professionalism a

I recall years and years ago, probably sometime in the 1990s, reading about an emergency heart surgery being performed on a young girl. I can't recall the specifics, but what I distinctly remember is the nurses getting bags and bags of

I'm willing to bet that cattle ranchers and dairy farmers deal with more bullshit per capita than any other profession.

Case in point: McLaren uses a special Compaq laptop from 1992 to service old F1's. Why? Well, the car was made in 1992, and so was the ECU. https://jalopnik.com/this-ancient-laptop-is-the-only-key-to-...

I don't think that's what they were talking about. I think they were referring to the fact that diamonds can be created synthetically in a lab now. They said "manufactured" not "mined"

Yeah, probably would be best to take the De Beers approach and bury 99% of it in storage.

I hope I can live long enough to see the effects of asteroid mining on the world and the economy. Palladium today is $1704.73 per ounce, but the price of palladium comes from the fact that it's extremely rare on Earth. But what if some

Yeah, no thanks. I've been to Seattle and to the bay area and I wasn't a fan of either. I have an entire life built here and have zero desire to ever move, and even less to work for a FAANG. There's much more to my life than

I do have a software job in the USA. However, with the exploding prices of everything in Austin, it's getting harder and harder to hang onto any cash. I get consistent raises year over year but don't feel that I have any more mo

I've already been saving for 5. And by "FU" money I was considering an amount that would allow me to say "fuck you" to a boss and survive until I found a new job without worrying too much. Like, $100,000 or less. Pr

Yeah, I'm with you on that. My original comment was really tongue in cheek, and I agree with most of what you said in your original post. I'm the same way, I refuse to put work email or slack on my phone and once I clock out for t

I do work in software, and I do save my money. However, unless I'm suddenly given a massive raise it's going to take 5 or more years until I have what I consider "FU money" saved up. I wouldn't really consider savin

I think we're just going in circles now. The scale was a result of what it was meant to do. The extra hardware on top and extra fuel all add to the scale of it. It was a massive rocket because it needed to do a massive job. Anyway, I t

by MS90 7y ago
And you don't think that has anything to do with the scale of it? The size of the rocket necessitating a lower T-W ratio due to the impracticality of making a rocket engine large enough to increase it? And yeah, sheer weight definitely

by MS90 7y ago
I think you raise a good point about scale. I don't think full sized rockets lifting off has as much to do with gimbals vs. fins as it does with sheer weight. The Saturn V had fins on it and it lifted off slow, and I'm willing to
