Probably get downvoted for this but seek a job outside a computer. Plenty of engineering gigs onsite, petroleum, civil, mechanical, etc. tbh you sound depressed and sitting in front of a computer will only compound the issue. IMO- Comp sci

There’s a really fun YouTube series where a virtually no name ex-NBA player challenges top amateurs to 1 on 1. It’s not even close. Brian Scalabrine is his name and his famous quote is “I’m way closer to Lebron than you are to me.” The dedi

Andre Agassi spent the 9th most time as #1 tennis player in the world and in his book, Open, he says multiple times how lonely of a sport tennis is. I think the loneliness of tennis affects the whole spectrum of the ranks, not just the bot

That's not true. You can heavily tax single family homes that are not owner occupied, for instance. This debate ends in the same way as always. It's a bit of everything. Nightly rentals, REITs, build more, yada yada yada...

One of the first episodes in the huberman podcast, he references a study where insomnia was cured in 100% of study participants by taking them camping for a week. I think sleeping is like weight loss, it's really simple but people don

I’d love to see historical statistics on annual prediction vs what actually happened with regards to El Niño/ La Niña. Spend most of my teens and early twenties chasing storms in the pnw and vividly remember prediction years not pannin

Are you sure it's really a 900CFM fan? A lot of cheap fans on amazon claim they are high CFM and when you look at components, are like 400 at best. High CFM fan will run you at least $2k to start.

I installed a high CFM hood for my stove, mainly for searing on cast iron and dealing with the smoke, but I wonder if this helps with the NO2 exposure mentioned in the article. A high CFM hood was something I never knew I needed until I ha

In reference to 2. - I'd say that more reflects where you live as opposed to most people being 'upset/miserable/hate their lives'. I don't experience that whatsoever where I live (Santa Barbara, CA) or where I

Already happening? Here's a clip from an astroturfing firm in the year 2000 for Sprite and other clients. They called it 'under the radar marketing' back then. I'd wager 95% of all product recommendations on Reddit, and

Most people on HN always repeat the sentiment that if you build more housing, prices will fall. I think you're right, these will sell for far above average. We don't have a housing shortage problem, we have a housing turned into

I'm not sure where I wrote I like straws. It's more of a "I don't like the logic regarding straw bans".

If everything has an inherent carbon footprint, ie. harmful to the environment, then yes, we can compare a straw to a car. Have you ever gone on a vacation? I'd wager that flight you took is 10000x worse for the environment than whatev

Do you really need an extra bedroom? Do you really need a car? Do you really need that extra pair of socks? Do you really need that coca-cola? Of course not. People obviously want it. Quite the slippery slope you're walking.

As weather disasters dollar figures are directly correlated with housing, CPI isn't even close to a proper adjustment. CPI says the house my mom bought in 1994 for $114,000 should be $239,000 today. It's worth about $1.2M...

I just took a look at the Bosch. It looks like you have to switch a button to screw or unscrew. The Dewalt, you twist counterclockwise and it unscrews, clockwise and drives the screw in. You don't have to manually switch directions.
