No but I'll look it up! That's a crazy, crazy swim.

There are also swimming "treadmills". I experienced a water jet a long time ago and it was ok, but I think these are a bit more sophisticated. These could be cool, never been in one though. https://www.endlesspools.com&

Just finished swimming a race from Alcatraz to shore, it's just the best high. I do tons of endurance sports, but swimming is the most reliable in yielding that euphoric feeling. I think it's due to it being essentially forced min

Speaking of the painted ladies, a clear example of how completely dysfunctional the market is, there's been a vacant lot ON Alamo Square, less than a block for the painted ladies for years. https://goo.gl/maps/7iW3

From personal experience I couldn't get my wall clock (cheap Ikea one) to run on an eneloop, even after I think I charged it, without the second hand going all weird and failing. Works just fine on a disposable, what am I doing wrong?

That's wild! I thought nails were way easier because you could maybe just cast them. I guess forging would make them substantially stronger.

Especially fun are the fact that some of them are now asymmetric with hollow pins, though that one is a bit more expensive. Incremental improvements. A bike today looks fairly similar to a bike from 50-60 years ago, but every last bit is ve

I often wonder as I am building/fixing something (often my bicycle as it happens) and I happen to toss an extra screw in the trash how miraculous a simple screw of this type would have been to a middle-ages craftsman. The precision of

As any cyclist who has been on cobblestones can tell you, the pavers used on Roman roads aren't friendly to bikes. This would be doubly true without a pneumatic tire. Amazing engineering but not suitable for a bicycle.

As just one example of very poor reasoning, I found his treatment of how/why patriarchy is so common to be rather poorly reasoned. He basically says: "It can't be strength because the strongest person doesn't usually rul

People like stretchy fabrics which can’t be made durable without synthetic fibers. Also cotton sucks to work out in, synthetics let sweat evaporate much more effectively.

Won’t work for more than the surface though I suppose if it gets hot enough... Still turn inside out for at least a bit if using this strategy.

Doesn’t kill everything. Puts bugs in stasis, drops evaporation of smelly compounds. Smells will return as bacteria recovers outside the freezer.

There's zero reason to say that a ring line must through low density areas. You can place the ring (or partial ring) underground at a variety of locations that would be higher density, you could have it be further out from downtown a

I'd guess that late at night an Uber ride from downtown DC to Shady Grove will run you close to that. It definitely will cost more after say, a late night game at Nationals Park. Uber isn't public transit, it serves a different pu

So wait, we should have late shift workers depend on companies that subsidizes its rates relying on a "greater fool" theory of access to capital (VC, now Wall Street), exploits its labor force (drivers) and uses far less energy ef

I love this idea, are you thinking a hybrid model? i.e. Overheads where possible, battery to bridge the gaps? that way in some places the trains could charge en-route.

Ironically, the pic at the top of the article has many bikes painted "Trek" in the background despite the caption saying it's Giant's facility. In truth, pretty much every major bike manufacturer makes their frames in Ta

I've been out here around 12 years, and I agree with the criticisms. However, I would add that it's an amazing place if you're in the right neighborhood and can take advantage of the outdoors. As mentioned elsewhere, Mt. Tam

I am a fairly experienced road cyclist and even though I prefer to ride outside AND have a computer-controlled bike trainer, I would consider one if I had the space. I also have several friends who prefer this to all their other options. 1.

This. Some of the biggest mistakes I've made have been too much "thinking". The article makes good points, but seems to argue all these newfangled systems have a very high cost if adopted in the wrong situation. I would argue

It's not clear that having your own datacenter is more secure than using AWS/GCP/Azure services. In both cases there are good monitoring solutions, however I'd say that cloud-based solutions have easier immediate access

Oh sure, this agrees with the "tightly regulated" constraint. Short time, localized application/expression qualify. I'm not sure that long term exposure would be good, and in reference to BPC-157 let's not forget th

Things that cause growth are generally a very bad thing in biology, because they cause cancer. Look at a list of proteins key to cancer and you'll find tons of growth promoters, some of which have the word "growth" right ther

It’s true, some people don’t. I went to a top program though even there I’d say we graduated some that weren’t great critical thinkers. That said I’d say that the closer you are to a “wet” bench in a basic science the more likely you build
