Wouldn't the cooled down gas expand when heated leading to higher pressure, so you need to pump gas down?

A friend absolutely bombed his IQ test (mostly on purposes, because he couldn't be bothered). He was a few standard deviations under the average person. When they asked him how he felt about it he excitedly said he was happy with the r

This person doesn't want to see a therapist and as such shouldn't go see one. While I understand the sentiment, a therapists job isn't to change this guy's world view. A therapist is supposed to help people with the prob

Depends on the bean you cook. Most beans are fine, kidney beans, for example, are not.

I think a mindfulness teacher would describe what you refer to as flow as absorbed awareness. The alternative would be panoramic awareness, where you aren't just focused on one thing (the problem you're solving) but you are aware

Carbon removal from the air sounds like paying of credit card debt by aquiring additional credit cards. Is it not the case that it will always take more energy to get carbon out of the air than it does to put it in the air in the first plac

I was going to complain that this blog post seemed like a rip off of the book Atomic habits. I'm not very clever. Great book that I would recommend to anyone!

Have you read Peak by K. Anders Ericsson? I haven't found the answers you're looking for, but I'd start with reading that book.

The 10,000 hours is how much solitary deliberate practice the students who were accepted into some acknowledged music conservatory had put in by the age of 18 (or some such). They aren't considered experts. But for the ones that make i

Huge difference in wear, yes. But not in the direction you think, I think. Warming up an cooling down is more damaging for a card than running constant temperature. It 'jiggles' parts more.

You gave up 15% of your salary to work in a company where, presumably, everyone earns 15% less than your previous salary. Would you accept earning swedish wages working remote from sweden in a german company?

On the continuum from preground coffee to cafe quality pour over, a $60 wilfa burr griner will get you 80% in my opinion. You'll have days when the brew comes out very well, some days it's disappointing. The biggest advantage when

Or, you know, all the skills they have from the industry makes it easier for them to get a job in it. Personally, as a lowly peon, I don't really care if my company is fundamentally unprofitable. I care that I get to develop the skills

For the people that think this is a dumb take, he's got a point. There's a roaster in my town that tries to pay a more fair price for the coffee he buys. He has a list of exactly how much he pays for the coffee which everyone can

If you want consistency that grinder is going to cost a lot. There are diminishing returns and $60 grinder will get you 80% of the way. But going from 80% to 99% you're looking at a price increase of about $1800. You're obviously

The lectures have a ton of gems in them, but I have a hard time following the lectures as a beginner/intermediate practitioner, as around 1-5 percent is relevant for me. I don't particularly like the fastai library as it feels lik

I'm also interested in a tool like this. I think it could be very interesting to combine with a recording from a webcam as well. I know what I'm going to see if I start with this though. I'm in a disassociated state, procrast

From what I can gather the supervised approach allows you to only learn the representation for style rather than which digit it is. The only reason to use one over the other is to demonstrate that it works, I guess?

To be fair, you're not expected to know random abbreviations from random fields of study. That said, if you're interested in emotion-based therapy you can check out http://istdpinstitute.com or http://www.is
