Your first point makes sense, but the second part? The reason American health is so bad is that we are required to own and operate a vehicle in 99% of this country. That's what makes us obese - not having walkable environments other th

When I got my second, I had a bidet and it made a huge difference. That and a bit of vaseline to prevent too much irritation. It's an uncomfortable process so taking every win you can saves your sanity

Most people don’t think along this axis. It’s the same reason why if you asked somebody how a toilet works or the functionality of P-trap (both things a majority have interacted with/seen more frequently than a plane window), they’d pr

Makes me think of Jackson's electrodynamics - yit always seemed to me a hazing ritual. I remember a story of someone asking him a question from the book and he basically said "how the hell would I know?" I enjoyed the book an

Considering 2 hours ago is 7AM EST, you might want to wait for America to wake up before jumping to conclusions. The article isn't even about military readiness either. Making the military more friendly to married couples is a fine goa

My pixelbook is the same way. However, I custom made a debug cable so I wouldn't have to pull the battery out which often destroys it because of all the adhesives they use

There is also a cultural component to saying hello/hi before stating your request. Almost every Asian/Indian person I have worked with starts a conversation this way. I asked a friend one time and they just said it is polite so I

Mentioned in another thread - I use it to write unit tests for me. I give it a function, tell it to write a test and it largely gets it right most of the time. I have to tweak it but the time spent is a lot less than if I did it myself

I never use ChatGPT for anything I don't already know how to do. The biggest thing I've had it writing for me recently though - unit tests. It writes them much quicker and even though I have to tweak them, the shell is done and al

Every time I have opened Teams, I have had a problem. I have a "not simple" webcam/audio setup with virtual webcams and audio sources and half the time, Teams will show black and audio will not work, and the sources won'

Largely due to the fact that "Data Engineer" is defined differently at every company. Some want a SRE, some want a Database Architect, some want a software engineer that knows some SQL, others want only SQL junkies. As a result, I

I just got blindsided two weeks back from the best job I've ever had. Not looking forward to the search (taking December off to get married) as I have extreme anxiety when it comes to live coding, and I cannot figure out why. Even basi

I was a bit confused too but the book by O'Reilly is about hunting Nazis after WW2 (apparently he has a whole series), Scarborough's is about the Truman Doctrine and how it shaped US foreign policy (problematic but hardly Republic

Having gone through the graduate physics curriculum, I wouldn't call Jackson a gem. Necessary hazing for physicists? Sure. Quantum Mechanics by Cohen-Tannoudji is a real gem imo

There have been studies on the effects of combining techniques with minoxidil like with needling for better absorption [1]. I know people have done this for beard growth as well. The caveat that comes with these formulas is that they don&#x

I do wonder what you mean by "get up at 6AM and start working." Do you immediately get out of bed and get on your computer or do you shower/eat/every other morning activity first? Does that mean you work at 6:30 or 6?

I use a GoPro Hero 9 Black and always get compliments on my image quality. GoPro's software is lacking so I stream straight to my computer and do post-processing there with great results. It's a good little device for those not wa

I remember a thread a bit back about how violent the ejection process is and most of the time it results in serious injury. Very lucky for the old guy (and pilot) to remain relatively unscathed
