I thought that the multi-solution pods - they're usually have differently-colored, for I presume marketing reasons - have pockets with different dissolve rates, so that the solutions are dispensed in sequence. I've not tested that

I'd sign up for this without a second's hesitation. I actually had the thought of "how could I volunteer?" while reading the article. My personal primum mobile is learning - I'm curious (to some extent) about (nea

I loved the conservation of momentum "hack" for those teleportation booths. Go on, everyone who hasn't read it, see if you can guess how he dealt with that.

I'm sure you're right, but (at least) the Sports Connections is in that state (and worse: it sometimes loses progress if you close and re-open it), and it's a "full" member. Weird!

+Fifteen years ago, Facebook was amazing for this: everyone posted all the pictures they took at [event] and tagged everyone who was in them. But, you know... That wasn't as profitable as all the [everything else] they thought up, an

That's still an overall win, as vaping is less harmful than smoking.

"Furloughed" is the key term, there. Have they been?

It's a much more fitting symbol now than it was before.

I really enjoy the Pips game, but it doesn't appear on the games page in my (Android) NY Times app. I'm a subscriber, and the app is up to date. I can get to it by searching for the article announcing it a few months back, and the

I'll confirm (and then nerdily complicate) your thesis for the art-form I practiced professionally for the first half of my adult life: yes, every serious actor I've been privileged to work with knows of previous performers, and

Heh. That's why I'm intrigued by it! My bet is that it's some kind of satire based on that (almost universal) avoidance. Regardless, Mencken's wicked clever, and less-known than I think he deserves to be.

I stand corrected! Thank you.

Fun fact: some historians would 0-index this array, with the Seven Years War being first truly global conflict. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Years%27_War

Fascinating! Thank you. So, it sounds like if this works (big if, of course, at this point), sedation + an enema could be a better "bridge" to mechanical ventilation than CPR. That would be amazing (if it works); science fiction s

No comment on the rest of the list, but anything by H. L. Mencken is likely to be a banger.

Would CO2 still build up if someone isn't breathing at all? I'm guessing so, since you say CO2 is a byproduct of metabolism. Alternatively, could respiration exhaust enough CO2 even in a situation where the lungs are too damaged t

I dunno. That's probably what it is - but I've more generally heard it expressed as "my hands are insured for [$x million]". One friend would say that as a pure status brag, and my uncle to explain why he wouldn't p

"Abstruse knotting techniques " would probably be more a more accurate phrase. I've listened in on two surgeons discuss at great length and in detail the merits of which knot and access path to use for, say, tying off a vein

That argument is anticipated in the article.

It's still super important. Surgeons endlessly practice abstruse knots and take out high-value insurance policies against losing hands or fingers or manual dexterity. Source: surgeons in my family and wider sphere of acquaintance.

I've driven extensively in both, and London's hands-down more challenging°. Boston drivers are significantly more aggressive, though, so Waymo might find the reverse. I dunno. —— °Which makes it more fun: I love driving in Londo

You don't ever use your nose as an additional input device? I thought everyone did that.

I know. I probably hadn't thought of that number even once in the preceeding fifteen years, and yet it was still there. I had a stroke in 2020, prior to which random detritus like my ICQ number stuck around, along with genuinely useful

Aye, but in many cases a theoretical limit can be ignored in practice. (Stupid example: I need more cooling = "I need more fans", not "I'm running out of air".)

The last time ICQ was mentioned on HN I could still remember my ICQ number. It's a benchmark for how much my memory has deteriorated in the last five years. I do still remember it fondly, though.

Use second gear. I have a '96NA, and first gear can't perform a roll-start, but it catches just fine in second. I have no idea why that is, but I remember I was just about of hill when I discovered it.
