In the Freeze video clip from TFA, the guy he's racing looks over his shoulder towards the end too. Its pretty hard to run forward with any velocity when looking backwards. That maneuver alone probably cost him a second, maybe more.

Fair point. Maybe I should upgrade from Skippy before I turn 40. Weird aside, my mother burned out her immersion blender attempting to reconstitute a jar of natural peanut butter. I now stir a few jars for her when visiting.

Frasier was a staple of late-night reruns during my early-aughts teenage years. So I've seen a lot of them and know the characters well. Yet I think it would be worth a re-watch. I enjoyed it at the time but suspect that there were mor

food tracking apps Food tracking is completely useless unless you also have a food scale, which, for whatever reason, is not terribly common in American kitchens. At least I never had one growing up and my Mother fancied herself a serious

You are right. Its under the full title: "Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software".

It's surprising that Code, by Charles Petzold, didn't make the top 50. That's one of the most approachable books out there for learning how computers really work. I see a lot of mentions of Code on HN but maybe that is skewed

Its surprising that a neighborhood 20 minutes from skiing isn't heavily populated by skiers. But maybe your neighbors are hitting groomers at 10:00 AM on Tuesday while you are seeking out backcountry steeps on the weekend.

If you leave your 1:1's with no thought beyond "what did the boss say to everyone else" you either have a terrible boss or an even more terrible Machiavellian corporate culture.

Every time I have tried baklava it was so overpoweringly sweet that I could not manage to finish even a tiny piece. The sugar/honey overwhelmed everything else. So count me as one that agrees with baklava being "boring".

AUM: "Assets Under Management". Why does that matter? Why is 10T too much? It's a big number but that money is ultimately under the control of the individual asset holders (so far as I understand it anyways).
