It might work at distances longer than 300m, but "they ran out of space on the dock." That seems like such a silly limitation to bring up twice in the writeup.

Weight of a vehicle is one of the main risk factors for people in another vehicle in an accident. When you hit a pedestrian their weight is negligible, so it doesn't matter as much, but when another vehicle is involved, it makes a sign

I love the idea of cars vs trucks, and tried to spend my money accordingly recently. My newest vehicle is a Hyundai IONIQ 6 which is a 4 door sedan, and is certainly better in a vehicle-pedestrian or vehicle-bike accident than most other ve

Storage costs can also be significant. I have a friend who pays $200/month for his storage unit to keep all of the extra seasonal junk and decorations, and then must swap it out twice per year. Many people pay a less transparent versio

The article repeats over and over that 89% of workers want more flexibility than a normal job offers, but my view is that the pandemic started a trend of more flexibility for existing jobs. My coworkers are mostly on west coast time, but I

The Hilux works if your goal is to compare a random compact car to an average midsize truck, but if your goal is to look at how a Ford Ranger compares to a Toyota Tacoma then you are out of luck. I am currently shopping for a new vehicle, a

Princeton does the same thing. Ivy League schools are cheeper than state schools for some students. I think this is the correct route. I don't see anything wrong with wealthy families paying a high sticker price as long as admissions i

Bokeh and long range. My favorite lens was a 24-105 F/4 for a very long time, but that has been replaced with my phone. Now my 150-600mm lens (for wildlife) is the only thing that is ever mounted.

Who has time to move all of the way over to the arrow keys, tap a few times and then find the little tab on the J again? I have arrows behind a second layer on my keyboard with vim mapping, and I don't think I could give that up. If yo

The issue isn't the bank angle exactly, it is the acceleration of the roll. Pilots will need to be careful not to throw people or drinks around, but I think it would be doable.

What is the right way to discuss that at an interview? Discussing the applicant's family is typically off limits, but if the goal is to work and be a parent then you must have that conversation early.

If there is a chance you will want to move in the next 10 years, then the numbers are even worse! Not only are you paying more every month with higher rates, but the amortization schedule is not in your favor. For your hypothetical $1M hous

No update in the mini phone form factor either. Even as a 6' tall dude, I would appreciate more emphasis on the smaller devices.

As a casual runner that does some track workouts, the extra button is my favorite feature of this new watch. The built in stopwatch app with screen buttons is miserable for timing workouts. Now I just need to wait a few years for the extra

It is interesting that you think arrow keys are a likely blocker. I have a Kinesis Freestyle Pro and my favorite feature is having the arrow keys on the second layer as vim style HJKL. I also have backspace, esc and del on the second layer

I see that the rising rates is part of the cause. Why were rates so low? My mortgage is financed at 2.25%, but it seems obvious that the Federal Discount Rate rate would rise over the 30 years of the mortgage. Why do 30 year mortgage rates

I think you can set up a video camera pretty much anywhere you want, but there are a lot of laws about audio recording. I would check on your state's laws. I don't even think this would be covered by 1-party consent.

My local library has them available to check out for free! The payback period for buying a Flir camera to do your own energy audit is likely long, but checking one out is pretty reasonable.

If they are calculating the price in JS then maybe it is worth me spending a few minutes with the console open on their website to try and bring down my monthly bill. Yes, I would like to switch to the new $10 plan!

As an Army officer, I didn't say `sir yes sir` very much, because most people don't like a sir sandwich. I did say "Hoorah" (Who-Ra) a lot.

It is common for the university to pay a partial salary (9-months) and then the faculty can pay themselves another 3 months from grants if they have the funding. At University of Michigan the 9-month salary is spread out over 12 months, but
