I also studied FEM in undergrad and grad school. There's something very satisfying about breaking an intractably difficult real-world problem up into finite chunks of simplified, simulated reality and getting a useful, albeit explicitl

I'm happy to support farmers who want to turn to regenerative methods, but I can't see them as a solution for feeding today's world. As the article itself notes: > U.S. agriculture production tripled in the latter half of

I am sympathetic to the feelings expressed here, and was a diligent masker and social distancer myself in the core years of the pandemic. However, I am not convinced that evidence has shown at the population level that more restrictive coun

Many excellent hinges have been shipped that don't wear out in years of regular use. I have no idea if this design will live up to those examples, but on brief reflection the hinges I've admired in products I've owned don&#x2
