Connoisseurship can make about anything interesting! That said I love fans. I especially love those big old fans that seem to have a speed setting of 'menacingly slow'.

Wow this is timely for me. Just ran into this issue a few weeks ago when my mother's refrigerator needed a filter. I bought the bypass kit and figured I'd switch the RFID chips in eventually, but I haven't had a chance to d

It's the predecessor of the dictum about putting a wrong answer on the internet to get the right answer. Sorta, and with a few hundred years involved.

In the bus protocol context of master vs slave: Some combination of bus-controller works ok, bus-arbiter, or bus-writer vs bus-reader or bus-listener, or bus-consumer. We also have the idea of having two units 'slaved' together.

I guess something helicopter-carrier sized? I would think the main thing would be to avoid supercarrier sorts of ships. Smaller ships with similar capabilities would mean you'd be able to field more groups.

I can think of ways around that, but depends on what sort of missions you want to optimize for I guess.

I've seen more than one twitch streamer going into a big stream, get screwed by this. Of course, they should've known. But we've all made that mistake during a demo or presentation at some point or another. Worse yet, whe

This stuff is highly charged. Doing it over text messages just makes things harder. I appreciate you are doing it good faith, but 400 years of blood makes for murky waters.

> Minority communities' anxiety is the result of--not the cause for--the media's fear mongering. I would politely exhort you to do more research on the subject and meet members of the communities involved.

This conversation isn't going to solve the problem (but that is a cop-out). I think the metaphor though hyperbolic was a bit germane: I too have a lot of problems with media coverage in general. But the reason why it's covered a

woops there goes the nuance again :D

Yeah but it'd be even easier to just not kill so many black people for what often appears to be very little reason. The whole thing would solve itself. If a few police started stepping on babies and killing them for sport, making sure

Police are suffering from a PR disaster of their own making. Every day they present more examples of why they cannot be trusted. They seem hellbent in making sure they are the villains.

by rrmm 6y ago
The current way that police are chosen, trained, and managed seems to have a corrosive effect on members of the police force. Option (b) with a sprinkling of (c) seems best, but it's clear the status quo in depts is not resulting in p

A lot of people are just really, really angry at this moment in time due to the long history of injustices and numerous examples in the past few days. Nuance is real hard to do under these circumstances.

Yeah people seem extra jumpy these days especially concerning medical articles. I generally just expect it ahead of time and shrug when it happens.

I don't know the contents of the books, but nature and friends are great ones. Also teaching others, helping kids and people younger than you. I think you can get a lot from their enthusiasm and excitement for life. And it feels goo

Your standards seem to make sense. But I suspect there is immense variability between different companies. You should I believe push for changes with examples of good development practice. Start with easy things that can have impact, and

I'm not gonna tell you how to vote. I will only tell you to exercise your civic duty. We are all smart people here: to wield both the abstract and pragmatic concerns into a decision. Make it. It may be the last we get to make.

This comment x 1000. (Some) Engineers think they have it all figured out. And they do...because someone figured it out all for them, and they get to work with the benefit of that knowledge. This is a polemical statement, I'm closer t

The cops seem to have a low threshold for using it. There was a video where a bunch of riot police were riding on the outside of an SUV. One fell off of it to the ground, got back up turned around and pepper sprayed behind him, even though

For me, it's the fact that police stood on some guys neck while he begged them to stop because he couldn't breathe. Those sorts of things make me cranky. I suspect other people might feel the same way. Especially seeing as it&#x

Also just in general, make sure the people around you are registered to vote, get absentee ballots if they need them, understand how to complete, and send them. Make sure they vote.

Music of his time and right before are interesting to me because they in a lot of cases were coming at harmony from a different place than we are (hexachords and modality). So I heard things that were surprising compared to common practice
