I think you are right. Most suppliers have decided this is simply not worth solving. I suspect when he looks at the distribution costs he will find the same

I thought hn agreed to stop acusing everything of being an LLM and also not to discount everything produced by an LLM as worthless. This guy is onto something. It is not easy to get tube at anything like it's real price. I'm conce

Whenever I have tried it has come out as prohibitively expensive. I suspect they just price their waste into the GM. Sell the tube at 4x the price and whatever cutting waste you have is covered

He is entirely right. I often want short bits and the precut short lengths on Amazon are often the lowest friction. But when I need 4 feet I often just give up! Good luck to him

My brother had his window smashed and bag stolen under a cctv camera in London. The police never even investigated. I would hazard to say that wouldn't have happened had a police officer been stood there instead. Some major shops in th

Faster to solve, but by not patrolling haven't they given up on detterence?

I came here hoping to hear stories of the more intricate machines people have held. I held a baby. Does that beat a phone?

I bought a 25ft boat. Wish I got a 17ft trailer sailer! I know I will want a bigger boat, but I seriously recommend going a small as possible, dinghy or dayboat, then a small trailer boat, then when you are sure you are going to cross o

I have fixed it! It is now a Creative Commons site. Thanks for the nudge.

by jimnotgym 2mo ago
Correct. Not that anyone has submitted anything. I intend it to be creative commons by the end of the week! I just need a moment to read the licences etc.

Good choice on ecommerce. Other planning scenarios are plauged by missing data, estimates and guesses!

I am working on cataloguing Murder Stones! These were stone memorials placed where someone was killed, especially in the UK. Most of them are 18th-19th century. Some are lost. After watching a YouTube video about it and finding there was no

I saw the excellent video about Murder Stones below. I was astounded to find there was no centralised record of the stones, or a map of them. I created murder-stones.org so people could submit them. It is AI collated but will all get human

I have in mind what I think is a very strong framework to allow companies to replace legacy ERPs quickly with AI help. I guess I should get on with it and publish something!

Side note/ anecdote. When I was in school there was a maths aural test. The teacher read out questions and you wrote the answers, with no calculator. Basically a stupid name for a mental arithmetic test. The funny thing was the teache

Is there coddling. I thought this article was about making students do something their predecessors didn't have to do?

If kids were aware of how high they can get in a company with talk vs work, they would think all adults were morons. So your approach has an important double duty.

It is difficult, a lot of it was very subtle, and I don't know a book that deals with it specifically. You would have to read one of the biographies, but to see how different it was to the normal conduct of an admiral would require

But you don't know the circumstances? Just a statement, and one that may not be true. I've seen good people have a complete breakdown over a sick child. Maybe his wife asked him to go? Who knows. >He admits himself that the jou

Perhaps this will help. There are quite a few things about the body I was born into that are not what I would choose. Contentment is about being happy with what you have got. I would like to be able to sing like Paul Rodgers, but I never w

Well after that article and these comments, I need to burn a lot of books, art and music that I once loved. I used to love Millais' 'Ophelia', but he now seems arrogant and even bedded his patrons wife. The scandal. On the

Indeed, unless the artist is some kind of moralist, where i may be concerned about hypocrisy, I believe their public appearance to be part of the act, what they are like at home is none of my business.

This element of Jack very much comes from his admiration of Nelson. If you are interested in management at all, Nelson's style of leadership was ground-breaking. Whereas Jack's feats trials and tribulations very much come from Co

Really, the article referenced a few snippets of information, none of which is new. Its like the press only knew 5 things about him and they were all bad, so keep going. I can't bring myself to be so judgemental. He once lost his t

I don't get this examination of the character of the man, an extremely private man, behind the books. I don't think he ever held himself as an example to people. He didn't claim to be a role model. He stayed private, so p

Funnily enough I think it is much less funny out of context. It is an in-joke that Stephen has picked up very little of nautical life, despite being on ship for many years.
