Reminds me of the South Park episode where Cartman cannot wait any longer for the (Nintendo Wii?) to be released, goes and freezes himself in a glacier. Nowadays he could just get a job at an Amazon warehouse, win win

The world feels almost real, every hill, wall or tree is climbable, every crevice has something interesting, if you just swing your sword in a field you'll cut grass and lizards will pop out. It's hard to try to go on a mission an

I tried to find similar distances to compare, but it might have been better like you suggested to compare around similar times. One other thing is that the conditions in an indoor velodrome are pretty ideal vs being in the water, although y

One cool fact is that rowing offers a bigger efficiency advantage over swimming than biking over running: The efficiency advantage of biking versus running is around 2.66x, the hour record on bikes is currently 56 km (56km/hr), and the

At a local coffee shop they had paintings for sale of stormy ocean scenes with oil rigs in the mist. I still regret not buying one (it was pretty reasonably priced)

Ridiculously higher. One gram of matter converted to energy (matter-antimatter annihilation assumed to be 100% efficient) yields, using E = mc^2 and 3.6x10^6 Joules per Kilowatt-hour, 25 million Kilowatt-hours

If you have a major issue, say a tumor, MRI is great, but for smaller things I agree with you that a single image is not great for a quantitative assessment. What does have a lot of value is when you have a baseline image and you perform ye

In my opinion [0] a much more interesting track to pursue than super high-T scans that only work on mice (dead mice at that) is low field MRI scanning. MRI is amazing, but incredibly bulky and slow. In Canada you have to live for 6 months w

I recently had to work on SAT problems (and SAT solvers), the relatively recent material he wrote on them (section 7.2.2.2, close to 300 pages!) has been amazing, I sometimes just open a random section and go through it, super readable and

Awesome page, but what the hell, no pork is a hard constraint, lots of awesome pork tacos (cochinta, carnitas, suadero, chicharron...). One subtlety about Mexican tacos that is lost in other countries is that there are different taco types

I know this is how many people do it, it strikes me as surprising that you don't need this compromise at the very low end (Breville Bambino), nor at the high end (Decent), but there's nothing in between

The other way around, to me this means that the total floor space is the size of a 66 meter square, which is ridiculously small. I think it must have been at least 1000X times that

The numbers don't make sense to me. LA at the top at around 445,000 sqft per year is equivalent to a gross floor area given by a square of sides 667 feet, or ~66 meters. It's probably off by like three orders of magnitude
