He is describing an "old school" barber shop experience where the proprietors are actual barbers. Not like supercuts, Floyd's, etc. Those aren't actual barbers - they are cosmetologists [1]. More info on the barbershop e

Yeah. Have same here. Ordered via Sonic.net and was confused when AT&T guy showed up to do the whole install. That being said, still better than comcast, and hopefully they continue to roll out fiber for residential [1]. 1 - https:&#x2

I've found that if you talk less, people will listen more when you do talk - provided you don't ramble. Focus on being concise and formulating your thoughts while everyone else is hashing things out - then jump in with your clearl

Couldn't agree more. Take Harold McCluskey [1] - "The Atomic Man" - who was involved with a pretty horrendous accident at Hanford, WA - and ended up with radioactive Americium-241 [2] embedded in his face/hands etc. - c

FWIW - I found it fairly trivial to set up CloudFront in front of my buckets [1], so that I can use HTTPS with AWS Cert Mgr (ACM) to serve our s3 sites on https://mydomain.com [2]. I set this up some time ago using our domain na

Sounds like a very fruitful career then. A recent read of mine was "The Drug Hunters" [1] which talks about the "highly improbable quest" for a drug that actually makes it to market, and the history of those that have. A

This is indeed the more interesting story: IMO this is going to be the K-129 / Project Azorian [1] all over again, with Russia, China and the US racing to recover what they can of the sensitive avionics / electronics off the ocean

With many edible fungi species - Boletes for instance - boiling can be the difference between getting sick (2-3 days of GI distress) and a good meal. When it comes to other species like Amanita phalloides (death cap) or Galerina sp. - which

Having been through a multi-day power outage in the 2017 Tubbs Fire (where many transmission lines + tformers had to be replaced over weeks): I can honestly say that I don't think we can fathom what would happen during a multi-week or

You can't extrapolate that model to the USA, where there are more firearms than citizens [1]. This means that the average risk / threat an officer may encounter in otherwise routine situations are quite different than the UK, whic
