I got through the first five (maybe 6?) books and then just totally lost interest because nothing was really happening, and then the main character spends most of a book wandering through "the between world" or whatever. Perrin wh

We go by Sea Shadow between Jack London Square and alameda pretty regularly. They've always got some boat in there, either a mega pleasure yacht or a WETA ferry for the SF Bay area, or whatever. It's a big, floating dry dock. Cool

Maybe I am using my phone wrong, but probably the largest bandwidth usage on my phone is watching 1080p youtube, which is.... probably no more than 20mbit/s? Spotify occasionally takes more than 2 seconds to load a podcast, and sending

Moving a true household worth of stuff, good quality furniture, then paying people a living wage who won't treat your stuff like ikea garbage, yeah it's very expensive. My wife got a relocation package that paid for the movers and

My 1955 Citroen (designed in 1933) has the original speedometer and speed sender cable. It's accurate (GPS tracked) to within 2-3km/h. This is with nearly 70k miles on the clock. This is the same mechanism Citroen used in their 2C

We have travel to NYC from NC coming up. We did the math. With our layover in Charlotte it's a wash, with less uncertainty in arriving on time; taking I-95 than getting on a plane during snow season.

There's quite a lot of buried conduit across america. A lot of high end neighborhoods have it to avoid having telephone poles up and down the street and in their nice manicured lawns. LA has an absolutely massive cable that runs from s

Shipping is a Hard Problem, especially when dealing with large volume (bigger than UPS, usually strapped to a pallet) objects, and/or very dense objects (cartons of metal nuts and bolts). You still need to call your freight person and

I honestly wonder if large scale population of the northern areas is feasible without carbon fuels. Historically chopped wood was used to heat northern homes and camps, later coal and oil and I guess now to some extent electricity, but as y

Paying all and any debts makes it much easier to raise new bonds for future construction and maintenance. News articles like this are like the ultimate letter of credit.

I think the idea was to disrupt the... looks like $3 billion dollar a year[1] hamburger patty market. This is a market that already exists. Presumably there's room for two main competitors, so pretty decent market, plus vegetarian meat

Yep I went through a phase in my early/mid 20s where I was still in information sponge mode and started applying this to world news, as if somehow by absorbing 100% of world news all the time, I'd be a "more informed citizen&

Which countries do not have excess deaths 2020-20201? China, Australia, NZ might be on that list as they were pretty good about keeping the virus out but I'm curious if you know of any others. That's a wide claim, that not all cou

It would not surprise me if in some cases, google runs the exploit up the tree to the NSA to see if they're actively using this for matters of national security, then slow-walk the patch to release. Given how easy the exploit is (no so

This only applies to phones who remain continuously powered on and still retain the decryption key in memory. It's possible you turn on your old, unused phone, unlock it (putting the key in memory), and plug it in for years but the num

This is a big deal. Honda sells more step through scooters than anyone else. Particularly in SE Asia. Also it has pedals which technically makes it a moped/electric bicycle. That said, it's a Honda. You can trace the current 50cc

You don't need to re-write the whole CI/CD stack, you don't need to re-engineer the app as a 12 factor app if/when the thing takes off and you need a real solution. If your lead engineer gets hit by a bus tomorrow the wh

Speed Queen laundry machines are sort of legendary for their reliability. They use standard parts. A 18" box can probably hold spare parts for a dozen speed queens. They are a known quantity which ultimately is what you want in Antarct

Yes. I buy my SD cards from B&H to try and minimize chances of getting counterfit product. I have never had a corrupted card that I can recall, and I just unplug them.

I haven't seen a corrupted SD card on an SBC in, well since at least 2015. I guess it's possible under heavy read/write but I've not experienced it and I tinker with the stuff at least a couple times a year.

In bicycle culture they do an unorganized event called critical mass; in the past I've seen these events hijacked by a "xerocracy" where someone shows up to the meeting point, starts handing out (xeroxed/photo copied) fl
