Last time I did this I rested the sheet good on one pedal and rode side-saddle. It worked all right. YMMV--helps to be going downhill...

I think it's bizarre to take the default assumption that a bunch of atoms in a self-replicating configuration shouldn't experience anything since our own lived experience so saliently contradicts this. In fact, there's noth

LEGO is well known for using high quality extremely durable and long lasting plastic in their products so saying even LEGO doesn't use recycled plastics seems painfully apparent. There are other children's toy brands that do u

One time my buddy Mike cleaned up a game of settlers by focusing his entire empire around a '2' tile. We rolled snake eyes dozens of times during that game. We used the same dice every time we played (once a week for over a decade

This same phenomenon is true for classic search engines as well. Whenever I am becoming informed on a new topic my first searches are always very naive and targeted just at discovering the relevant jargon that will let me make better search

Huh, I am trying to maximize my burrito access, but there is a time-cost to burritos. If I am hungry today then a burrito now is worth more than 1.2 burritos a month from now. Really, it seems more reasonable to use BNPL to purchase a bur

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that most of your downvotes are from people who didn't find your joke funny, not from people who believe you sincerely but incorrectly identified the parent poster.

When my first child was born we hired a doula to help everything go smoothly and one of the services she offered was to take a few photos of the process so I could stay present with my partner. It was great not having to worry about this an

The DIY / Maker crowd seems the most insulated from this, being in a prime position to recycle and repurpose materials that are already here to make their own tools.

It was an electric car, but it's true that I bought the motor (and the esc, batteries, etc...) That said, I have wound several motors in my day. I'm not saying some degree of specialization isn't desirable in the world, just

Specialization is over-rated. I've done everything in your list except make an ASIC because learning how to do those things was interesting and I prefer when things are done my way. I started way back in my 20s just figuring out ho

No, I disagree. I think that inflation (on mean) reflects real value that is accrued by an economy.

I haven't been to either place in quite a while, but--by my recollection--if you want to give SF a run for its money you should go cruise around Baltimore for a minute.
