About a year ago, I got nervous and spent some money on some of those survival dried food packs, currently sitting in the basement (and hopefully not rotting). I have a charcoal grill and a gas grill and probably should stock up on propane

I use ProtonVPN mainly for reading & browsing on my iPad at the gym or McDonald's or airport. It adds a layer of protection, particularly in a public place where they explicitly say your connection is not private. Probably it'

Would Musk really lose $40 billion (or is it $46b), if he dumps Twitter? He could sell it to someone, Microsoft for example, at a loss e.g. $25b or $30b, which covers the loans, and write off the rest. That said, his historical pattern is n

I read the whole thing in one sitting. I found it interesting in a slice-of-life way. Basically a journey to maturity and self-discovery. You might jot down your aimless years after college, for your own future reminiscences if nothing else

This is my approach as well, and I think it's generally considered a best practice in engineering, at least on the software side. When faced with what sounds like an insurmountable,"where the heck do I even begin?" type of ch

I'm pleased that speed control has appeared on many videos recently. I'm not sure if this is brand new, or restored, but anyway it makes videos a lot more useful to me at least.

Also: long form videos, subscriptions, encrypted messaging. Upcoming possibilities: video conferencing, micropayments á la WeChat. I think the acquisition has opened up a lot of interesting possibilities and potential for a service that had

Yes, I hope so too. After a collapse of civilization, likely only highly organized and well armed groups will survive. Families on 10 acres will be killed and their farms stripped of food & tools. The whole scenario does seem unlikely t

I think some of these folks who are on several acres, and who have poultry, cattle, pigs, and extensive gardens, will likely not starve. But life will be hard, once the fuel and electricity run out, even the ones who are totally off grid wi

Also, Justin Rhodes and Joel Salatin youtube channels. Joel focuses on poultry, and Justin also raises pigs and cows. Both are heavily into permaculture. I only have a few backyard chickens, but I’m trying to apply their principles where I

We’re in the Boston area (west suburban town) and there are outages about every 4-5 months (Eversource). It’s quite annoying and I’m contemplating getting a whole house generator. My solar panels do nothing during an outage. Would love to g

How is an all-electric infrastructure “less fragile”? I don’t see any advantage for the end user. The only thing that works during a power outage is the gas stove. Regarding power generation, gas is cheap and plentiful and gas power plants

Over on Youtube, Electric Viking is suggesting these would yield 1000km range in EV's (600 miles), which is obviously the larger market than small planes. However questions remain as to charge cycles, safety, and pricing.

Also the “search entire device” feature. It used to be so easy to find something across contacts, calendar, and memos.

Embarrassing, maybe, but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

>> I harvest the LEDs out of dead bulbs to use in hobby projects. This is a great idea and I would love it if you would post a Youtube how-to video. It might encourage a bunch of hobbyists to do something useful with those dead bulbs.

Maybe I’m lucky, as are the hundreds other Prusa MK3S owners I see on the various forums, but the problems you mention seem to be rare.

My Samsung with T-Mobile is capable of connecting to cellular networks via wifi, which is useful in my neighborhood where T-mo is a weaker signal.

These are very good suggestions. Do you use a smartphone? I was wondering if calling-over-wifi is less trackable than using a tower.

I tend to check the comments first, in case the article is clickbait or a duplicate post. Usually, if the commentary is interesting, I’ll go read the article, then come back.

Just to represent the "other side", a perk of having a child (and spouse) is that you have an emotional support system at home. My daughter has brought us joy for almost her entire 18 years of life (aside from a few glitches in th

Or stay true to your professional standards? Maliciousness usually is detectable.

I’m not so sure you would love that. Mastodons and mammoths are thought to have been rather ferocious, much more aggressive than modern elephants, and probably would not hesitate to attack you. If you are around one, you’d better hide fast.

Isaac Arthur on YouTube has some interesting commentary on antimatter, and other advanced proposed propulsion systems. It seems that for the moment, at least, antimatter is strictly in the realm of science fiction, until some very difficult

It sounds like you’re referring to nuclear pulse propulsion, a proposed method of reaching Mars from the Earth’s surface in 2 weeks.[1] I’m not sure what’s “horrible” about it. Research was halted because of the Test Ban Treaty, but if a sa

When studying history in university, I reveled in the deep, meaty kind of books I had to pore through, loaded with facts and arguments on every page, thick with footnotes and tempting bibliographic references to follow. I had to take copiou
