Sports is different, in that the number of positions available that are good enough financially are very, very few. So for sports, you're just not good enough. As an analogy, if you were a doctor in a smaller town, in a tiny hospital,

what phone does she have? I gave up on voice recognition a decade ago because I realized the thing has to work as good as an average person's ear/understanding capacity or it just stinks to use. So I said, I'll give it a deca

What?? Are you serious? Why would programming be different from other activities/occupations? "Oh, this guy is still operating after 3 decades and never became a hospital director. Something's wrong with the guy."

> If you love programming and are good at it, it is the best field there is. I read this and thought, he's right. Then I thought, this is actually true of pretty much any activity. Hadn't thought of it this way.

thats dishonest/apple fanboyism. The watch doesnt work as advertised. Edit: on people with dark tattoos.

How many watches don't work on people with tattoos on their wrists?

Hadn't heard of this artist. I generally don't like comics, but this is very good. Thanks!

I did the same, and just started skipping classes and going to the library instead. It made getting a job harder, but I don't regret it one bit.

Elementary schools could have less classroom time and more outside time. Some countries that don't start serious schooling (classroom time, homeword, teaching pre-defined curricula, etc) until ages 7 or 8, do just fine on those stand

One thing I forgot to say on my post: I lived in the US, and I grew up and again now live in a third world country. The difference in homeless population is that in my shitty country the homeless are truly poor and most, really most of the

No, you're not getting it. Most of the people I knew could go to college if they wanted to. Their families would have supported them, or at least helped them out quite a bit. To give you an example, two guys I knew wanted out of it. Th

When I was in my 20's I knew and hung out with a bunch of hobos like these. They were all (yes, ALL) middle/lower middle class, white, fairly well educated (completed high school). They all lived this way by choice. They all could

In this case AM or Shortwave is many times better than FM.

Ok, I'll bite. Tell me the differences, besides "engineers build things while programmers write software". Honest question on my part.

If you want the cadillac of drivers, check out PB Swiss. They even have their own individual serial numbers.

To those who don't know, Wolfram's response is what Conan said when he was asked that question (Conan the barbarian, not the comedian, although now that I think about it, I can see Conan O'Brien giving someone that same answe

Sure. I'm into naïf art and into expressionists from the french school, and I'm way outside art circles (haven't been to an exhibition in 15 years)

Huh. Cool. I always wondered why they didn't make quartz second hands jump in smaller amounts. Something difficult or not efficient to achieve, I guess. By the way, Seiko has had a movement for some time that is rated to +/- 5 sec

It is 8 ticks per second. Look at this video of the hand up close (it's a 28800 bph movement): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxgahvNH3q0

No, I'm not. It's 8 ticks per second. I have one and I have checked. Look at this video of the hand up close (it's a 28800 bph movement): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxgahvNH3q0

Yes, there was Maeda, and there was a bunch of other stuff (Merikan fights, shooto, etc). However, Vale Tudo was created by the Gracies, who eventually went on to create a very similar thing with the UFC, which then caught on and today MMA

You mean pre-workout supplements, right? there was also the pro-h ormone supplements, which used some form of testosterone precursor that wasn't illegal yet, or something like that.

Yes, they did. Then the Brazilians invented it again and it became modern day MMA.

Spring Drives are pretty rare outside of Japan. Most mechanical watches today tick 8 times a second. On a small watch it's pretty smooth to me.

I also swear by my Eco-Drive. Never off my wrist, great water resistance, can see it in the dark without pressing anything - a little tough workhorse. I also can't see wearing a watch that you have to charge every day, or every x days.

Correction: Rolexes tick 8 times a second (or 28.800 beats per hour, as is used by watch people). 6 are the vintage ones.

What? Cuba kept a sustainable ecological footprint because its economy, with the embargo and collapse of the Soviet Union, just couldn't afford industrialization.
