Yes, though at the time I believe it was static (no ads) so I was just left wondering why they felt the need to put up a TV screen showing what I'd see through the glass. It may have obscured whether something was in stock, but I forge

One time my phone was getting terrible reception in the restaurant, and couldn't download the way-too-big menu file. I ask the server for a paper menu, and apparently they'd went all-in on paper-free, so no menu for me. Instead, t

I just dealt with this the other day. One of my favorite restaurants kept the menu "books" but when you opened it up it just had a QR code. Tease... So I went to the counter and asked for a paper menu, which they provided. While m

Started with the metropolitan myself, and it's definitely a good pen. I do want to add though that over time and after a few drops the snap-on cap of my pen fit less snug, and eventually the pen started dropping out of the cap and into

Prompted by comments foreshadowing the end of search engines being useful, I wonder if we'll see a return to pre-search engine practices given that in the hypothetical we would come full loop from low signal to noise back to low signal

You might be asked to write about it, yes, though I don't recall one that insisted on it at the moment. For example, the University of Nevada, Reno's Physics PhD application gives the following as one of the writing prompts to con

I remember evaluating the Kaweco Al-sport when I was looking for a durable metal pen for EDC after my Metropolitan bit the dust. I think I didn't choose the Kaweco because the pocket clip for it had some issues with slipping off/n

I switched to a fountain pen because I heard that they required less effort to write with, and the amount of writing I was doing for my studies was starting to cause RSI issues in my hand. In that context, as a student, finding a budget-fri

Already tried this sampler set? https://www.gouletpens.com/products/notebook-sampler-package... I think everything I tried from that set so far worked well with fountain pens, though I did like some more than others. M

If you can find a ham radio fest or swap meet near you, it's possible to find a lot of different components and equipment cheap, though sometimes in less than ideal condition. Look for surplus departments at local colleges, labs, compa

Assuming you mean the one labeled "voltage divider", the problem is that it doesn't actually divide voltage because the input and output are switched. The unloaded output voltage is the same as the input voltage.

You're not alone. When someone asks "What OS do you prefer, Windows, Linux, or Mac?" my answer is: "none". Anyhow, back to dreaming. Someday maybe...

Based on the title, I thought there was some unique quality of the soundtrack where there were no pauses or abrupt starts/stops, or that it was all one take. After reading the article, I'm guessing the title means that the soundtr

You'd hope as much, but it reads very similar to other serious corporate-speak. Take the explanation for why Keysight Technologies is called Keysight Technologies: 'The name Keysight is built from two English words: key, meaning i

When I was still on the early beta with limited searches, kagi felt like a secret weapon I pulled out when some bit of technical information was playing hard-to-get. Google/DDG can't find info on this ancient electrophoresis power

You know, that's part of what's been holding me back from using it for much besides remapping CapsLock to Control. Maybe it's time to sit down and write a Lisp DSL that compiles to it.
