This could very well just be from the small numbers in the survey and group. In 2016, 1,920,718 people graduated with a BA in the USA. Of those 9,800 were theology majors. The survey data used only covered roughly 26,000 people, which would

A friend of mine used to work on US Airforce C-5 Galaxies - the second largest aircraft in the world. When hunting for pressurization leaks in the cavernous aircraft, they would throw toilet paper rolls into the air, and look for the direct

Looks like they are loosing the bespoke Go fonts ( https://blog.golang.org/go-fonts ) and going with Work Sans and Roboto. I understand the reasoning. Personally, I have a big soft spot in my heart for the go fonts . Whenever

This got me wondering what the Salesforce tower’s builders countermeasures were for the soil and seismic issues. Surely they tried to do something. Here’s an article about what they did. (Skip the fluff in first third, it does get down to d

This is a genuine, difficult problem. It's so easy to join up on your political team of choice and scream about it, and all this makes any real attempt to solve it so much harder to talk about in public or collaborate on. In fact, ther

I hear people talk about how they would never move to the US because of how violent it is. And yet the reality of living in the US middle class is that violence almost never affects you or the areas you frequent. Most shootings in the US ar

Many “distributors” are borderline scams. They often hope to lock up some exclusive and hope you will do the marketing and they will magically make money. Something like McMaster-Carr, our or other giant catalogs can be good, just don’t exp

The NTSB gets to pick its highway investigations. No one has to call them in. (49 CFR 831.30) They don’t investigate many per year though, so this is something special. I’m guessing they will be investigating these new technology crashes.
