This author does not seem to understand extroversion vs introversion - it relates entirely to your inner experience not your behaviors, and cannot be changed. An introvert can enjoy and be good at social interaction, and use it effectively

The introvert/extrovert concept was developed by Carl Jung and is both a continuum, and is logical and clearly defined. It also is just one dimension of limitless ones that can describe a persons personality. Yours and most other criti

It's a very controversial topic in the Porsche community, but overall it seems like the people that really know what they are doing and build reliable good running engines avoid the iron sleeves (e.g. https://flat6innovation

There are plenty of real CPUs that are useful in the real world but are much simpler than a 286.... 8 bit RISC microcontrollers like Atmel AVRs for example. I've done a small amount of programming for those in assembly, and they are no

As a teenager I took an intro CS class at a community college, and the instructor had us design a simple cpu instruction set, and write our own VM and assembler that worked and let me write and run assembly programs. It was shockingly easy,

Yeah but usually you have to get an identical pack- which is expensive for common EVs and nearly impossible for older ones. My point is these parts could be standardized with a simplified process to more easily recell any car. Batteries don

I don’t think what you are saying is accurate- I was looking up the history of most of the regular things people do as American families, and almost everything I could think to look up had pretty clear non Christian origins. It sounds like

While it is an important holiday for Christians, it’s widely celebrated by non Christians and most of the traditions predate Christianity as European winter celebrations. It includes bits of Germanic Yule and Roman Saturnalia celebrations,

Thank you! My daily driver is an early Boxster and this is great info on the Alusil. However, general advice I’ve seen on forums is that the iron sleeves don’t last in Porsche engines. The idea of sleeving with dissimilar metals sounds like

Yes- I’m already sharing the road with people that DIY repair their cars. I’m an ex pro mechanic, most mechanics shops are in such a hurry they are not doing better work than DIY repairs. Your average hillbilly has been repairing things the

I agree, sailing is a particularly good sport for making friends… however it tends to be mostly older people. I just decided to make friends with people my parents age, and I’ve made a lot of good friends that way regardless.

Since cars are all more or less solving the same problem, hopefully it will standardize on a set of parts and procedures. I meant trivial for a mechanic- on the order of swapping out an engine. It would still be work for a professional mech

You can rebuild modern engines by boring out the block and installing a sleeve of the same block material and coating material, it’s just a lot more expensive. For a valuable car like a Porsche 911 this is typically done- the sleeves alone

It’s insane that you can’t just DIY recell an EV battery with off the shelf cells. This could easily be made a trivial job.

The interest is usually still more than inflation, they just make less money- and the alternatives for them are either cash, which loses more, or investments that are higher risk and more volatile.

If you get an annual cost of living adjustment, presumably it is ahead of cost half the year and behind the other half which averages out. Rent usually updates annually also. If all other debt payments are effectively decreasing, you’re jus

Why would expenses need to track less than inflation, if your wages are tracking with it? Expenses, by definition, track with inflation. With (c) stock prices are generally tied to the underlying value of a company which is protection from

Yes, as an academic scientist when I occasionally need to actually reproduce something from published literature to use in my own research- I almost always find at least half a dozen errors, even in a well respected journal. The only way to

As an academic scientist that does peer review- I would never consider redoing math unless the conclusion seemed suspicious. Peer reviewers don’t have a lot of time and need to assume good faith and careful basic competency from the authors

That did happen to Boomers, but I wouldn't assume it will happen again. Over a long enough time period housing values must approximately track inflation, because there is an upper threshold of income percentage (certainly below 100%) p

I've never gotten any value from professional critics- their opinions are totally uncorrelated with my own, and before I realized this they would often turn me off from trying music or movies I later found I enjoyed very much. Moreover

That is how Kaiser works- the doctors have internal guidelines, e.g. a set criteria for a diagnosis, and every treatment that is ordered is automatically approved. This isn't a perfect solution either though- the guidelines are often u

I haven't read any of CS Lewis's writing for adults, but unfortunately, it is not at all unusual for academic liberal arts scholars to have only a very shallow surface understanding of the ideas in literature they formally study.
