Unless it is overwhelmingly damaged, the liver is the most resilient part of the human body and is the only organ that can regrow. It's that important.

I was specifically talking about push queues, not pub/sub. My comments are also based off of migrating from Python 2.7 vs. 3 where there are additional migrations challenges and GAE limitations. At least in our experience, it was (or

I think there is some functionality such as google.appengine.ext.db (not ndb) which is not directly available, though? And task queues seem to be completely different. But I accept that for many applications, there are close alternatives.

I guess my only point was that I've seen both approaches - you either over-spec the components and when it doesn't fail like you think the spec was the secret, or you design for unreliable parts and when they don't fail as ex

ESD is a huge deal with passive component too, and honestly even with components that you never thought could fail in the past like resistors, lately. Obviously an instrument that is never going to be serviceable deserves the best component

You're not wrong, especially about optical components. But there has been a general overreaction about ESD and milspec/spacespec components since, I don't know...maybe the mid-1970s budget cuts? And we have a lot more knowl

I believe you - I have an original Pixel 1 non-XL that I handed down to my kid with a USB-C port that barely works with any cables and even then if you blink at it wrong it disconnects. FWIW, my 3a XL is working great. I'm might upgra

I was preparing to replace my Pixel 3a screen and even got the kit from iFixit when I realized that this would never work. I took it to the local repair affiliate (ubreakifix) and let them break the screen instead. They were apologetic but

Sublingual tablets have always worked best for me. For higher dose people, I would investigate a smaller dose that dissolves in your mouth/under your tongue.

There is a spectrum and it isn't just a east coast thing. I think you can basically divide it out where the primary crop is wheat vs. corn/soybeans, and where the crop irrigation starts. As you drive from east to west, you can fe

You're probably not wrong but there are Draco/Super Draco engines all around the Dragon capsule and some combination of those could probably be used to for any thrust vector.

They won't. By all accounts, Roscosmos is completely corrupt and NASA can't afford to lose Russia as an ISS partner. You'll note that even though a SpaceX Crew Dragon was also attached to the ISS at the time, it was not used

Electric bikes really change the "too far to bike" equation. Depending on your fitness level and the route, you could easily ride 10 miles (or more) and arrive with minimal sweat.

Rental car companies do not need to either pay for the labor or the fuel to power their vehicles, and actually make a lot of extra money with "prepaid" or "return it empty" schemes. By churning their vehicles on a regul
