I once played poker in a Reno poker room. It was structured betting, not all in madness like on TV. I was probably 21 and sitting down with a mixed group, but mostly old timers. I was not new to poker, but I occasionally got the allowed bet

I spent the last year working closely with someone who spent their entire career entrenched in one of the big boy CAD software companies in one of those very technical roles you do when you avoid management your entire life. He had a lot of

I didn't get into the UC of my choice. So I appealed. This was in 2006, and the appeal process was not through an online application. You had to mail in a packet with your appeal letter, transcripts, etc. I sent one in by the postmark

I had an argument with my boss about this. He is a business owner and pretty successful one, and he calls the lottery a poverty tax, or a stupidity tax. If it were a game you play in Vegas, then he’d be right. It’s my opinion that just buyi

I was a kid in the 90s Los Angeles, and being somewhat familiar with jets from kids books and MSFS, is it me or does anyone else seem to remember the Learjets in the air at the time being the absolutely loudest sound they've ever heard

Not to mention, the thing on the trailer is tiny. The B-2 is not.

That vitriolic anti-Californian sentiment (read liberal, educated) from the prolific good ol' boys everywhere is a pretty big turn off.

Same. Over the last ten years I keep hearing about how it was going to be the next satellite tech hub, particularly with Tesla building the Gigafactory 30 minutes away. I think Apple and some other tech built small offices / datacenter

I know this to be true; it just surprises me Amtrak, as large as it is, doesn’t have more leverage / bargaining power here. I understand tying up a line can be an issue and the rail network is a relatively complex thing, but if it enab

There were a techy startup or two making overnight sleeper-bus service between LA and SF over the last few years. Apparently the ride quality was rough, but they had a solid business model. How Amtrak hasn’t seen this opportunity of a far m

What country did you go to school? ID in the US definitely does not focus on engineering, but I hear in the UK and abroad product design and engineering degrees see a bit more inclusion in eachother’s curricula

That was a systemwide thing for Southern Pacific, not specific to the peninsula. It was fairly ugly but was a known low-cost transition to deal with a tightening belt when railroads were still private (and struggling)

I got a good laugh seeing them using a $100,000+ 6-axis automotive assembly-line robot to move a pizza 90 degrees from a conveyor to an oven. Overkill to say the least. This is laughably overengineered.

I worked pretty hard on something like this many years ago. I am not a coder so it was a formidable challenge and I never really got it polished or complete. The goal was to create a blank canvas where anyone could organize instructional co

About three years ago I was fast-tracked to interviews at Apple via recommendation. About 9 interviews later over 4 spread-out days, I was told I had done quite well during the interview process. Eventually I was not given the position beca

I was more surprised that after four successful interviews, my poor web-presence was enough to nullify that success.
