Yeah it is amazing to not only be mobile but coherent. I've seen people much younger (70s) not able to get around or even understand you or having trouble communicating. Some people here go into an old age home in their 50s. My own gra

It's like junk food next to you in versus in a cupboard upstairs. One you eat now impulsively the other you won't eat due to the effort needed as minimal as it is it still slows you down. If you put in a cassette tape and let it r

>and after enough good stickers under the bully program they get a pizza party, etc. That's terrible. You weren't evil? Get rewarded. What happens when they get sick of pizza? That reminds me of people who call themselves a her

There's a video on YouTube of a doctor showing his beeper/pagers how it works and why he still has one. He goes two or three floors down in the hospital into a shielded room. His phone utterly lost no bars but the beeper worked fi

Funny you say that. I do often go to the comments because some of the people commenting here on HN are famous. If not famous they are more involved in IT or other industries at a high level. I know I'm a nobody but it's interestin

Your question is vague. You're not dropping something off a cliff it's moving and 400km up and 25,000km/h. Any object coming from the ISS will be going 25,000 km/h. I don't think "aim" is the word since th

Hagerty has a video on Bugatti and mentions Bugatti buying Lotus. At the time they just made the EB110 two years earlier that weighed 4,100 pounds. Talk about a difference! Colin Chapman was rolling in his grave. It's worth a watch jus

I recall on an ask reddit a group of gastroenterologists were answering questions. One thing that stood out was they said "let your stomach rumble it's a necessary part of gut health". Fasting would help initiate that, but I

Stuff like Apple Vision Pro where you need an iPhone to scan your face is annoying. If you want a Apple Watch but have Android phone it's pretty much pointless. How does Apple get away with that? Worse than that from hardware to browse
