I think what creates the confusion in the hesjedal video is that he is on a steep slope, but the angle of the video obscures that. That explains both the spinning wheel (caused by the bike slipping down the slope a bit while the wheel was t

Data capture is the issue. I have tried ledger but always go back to other apps because they can automatically capture all the data from my credit card, brokerage, etc.

Having been through this with a different online retailer, I learned that not shipping goods in a reasonable time frame is an FTC violation. The state attorney general will almost certainly be able to prosecute successfully if facts are as

Worth noting that the article was translated from its original French, so the word choice that appears in English is not the choice of the original author.

I used FreeBSD for a couple of years but now use Arch (after a fling with Ubuntu in between). Reasons I switched (some of which may have been addressed since): * building everything from source got old * lack of support for hardware (Linux

Near me in VA there is a highway with two signs quite close together. One says "Speed Limit 55" and the other says (I won't have the words exactly right), "Trucks slower than 55mph must stay in right lane." The comb

I don't know the details in the case of this new drug, but in the last few years there has been a lot of collaboration between drug manufacturers and anti-doping testers. For example, when CERA was introduced, the manufacturer worked c

There is a benefit to the appraisal process in that it is well-defined and somewhat predictable and rational. In a state with less clear process or case law, a dissenting shareholder's path of recourse against a transaction they disagr

I was disappointed (particularly given the title) not to see a comparison against freestyle swim times. The other strokes are essentially handicapped events - they measure how fast you can go given certain specific restrictions on what you

It depends on your business model. For companies that require capital to build product before being able to sell, and thus don't have near term positive cash flow to pay off loans, debt is usually impossible to find. Only equity capita

I used two photos of me both taken the same day (corporate headshots that both appear on wedsites and in social media with my name), and it returned different answers. Both answers were significantly off.

I agree, and I think the focus here on the battery is misplaced. What is enabling this to work is the availability of low cost LEDs, which require very little current to operate. These open the door of all kinds of lighting with low power s

Crabs are eaten whole, shell and all, in the US - just only right after molting when they are called "soft-shell crabs." Come to Maryland during soft shell season, and you'll see them on every menu.

This used to be common advice (replace the chain and cassette at the same time). Nowadays, the best pracrice is to replace the chain before it stretches too much and starts wearing down the cogs. If you do that consistently, a cassette shou

Former Eastern Bloc nations or Soviet republics? I agree with you that the intersection of countries still using diesels and countries that would be poking around Sweden is a small set - no obvious candidates, unless the rumors are true tha

In your comment about Germany, are you referring to the Type 209? My data is very dated (1997), but at that point, there were a lot of German-made diesels owned by other nations (including Argentina in the Falklands War). They are/were

But at its core, Uber is a black-market taxi service (unlicensed vendor operating in a regulated market). Just like cigarettes and alcohol are cheaper in the black market where vendors don't pay taxes, one would expect Uber to be cheap

This is fantastic - I am going to start testing it now. I write a fair amount of VB macros, and would much prefer to be able to use Python. And, if they could create a plugin that allowed Libre Office to do the same, they could solve one of

I'm hoping someone with recent experience answers your question. I worked at Carderock in the early 90s, and I can tell you then, computer models worked only for the simplest shapes (only underwater vehicles, nothing on the surface) an

To me, this is the key - someone has to take the initiative. Once you realize that everyone is in the same boat; being that person can be uncomfortable but incredibly rewarding. Invite everyone over. Someone has to do it, and everyone else

Definitely not true when I graduated (almost 20 years ago). I came out with ~$25k student loan debt. That said, Harvard's endowment did enable them to be much more generous than other schools on grant money - no other school came close

your comment about having to use imperial in defense industry reminded me of working for the US Navy in the early 90s, where a standard unit of measure is a "kiloyard" (1000 yards) when measuring the range of sonars. Apparently a

Having worked in construction, I think it is the last point you make that is most important. Though a 2x4 is 1.5x3.5, it is a standard dimension. In the US, construction standards (lumber sizes, door frame sizes, ceiling heights, etc) are a
