It is fascinating that you don't identify self-reflection, individual thought and contemplation, and social rest as having inherent "real value". They do have value. Extroverts just don't acknowledge that value because i

I used to buy Technix sets (sp?) and spend days playing with gear and pulley and wheel and motor systems. I don't think a single time in all my childhood did I ever sit down with a Lego set and build some themed toy that they suggested

Status LEDs should be only bright enough to be obvious, they should be frosted/opaque, and should only be Red, Orange, Yellow, or Green. Retina searing water-clear blue and violet LEDS have no business being used for any status light a

Too much call of the void in this tool. The phone is in the microwave. I could push start. All I need to do is push start. Just...zap. Poof. Sizzle.

People get uptight about this, but from my point of view: 1. I really admire Omega watches, but have not had the income to pursue the high end mechanical watch hobby. I stick to the lower end. I have some career goals that I will celebrate

Here's what I would tell my 35 year old self. If you try to get financially better off, in seven years you'll probably be only slightly better off if at all, and you won't have kids. At that point you probably can't. If

In your 30s, if you are waiting to have kids for various reasons, you really need to stop delaying. Your probability of successfully having kids goes down every year, and by your early 40s your options for medical help if you have infertili

In the US, I have long thought the USPS missed several good opportunities to get involved in the internet revolution in the 90s. This is a major one.

I have wondered how much of statistics like this are due to the level of observation. Post vaxx kid: "I don't feel good." Doctor: Let's check you for this myocarditis thing I've read about. Pre-2020 kid: "I don

Win95 was a revolution in the mswindows world (as was NT). Win98 was the refined and polished version. Not revolutionary, but fully evolved. I used both, still have both, and vastly prefer 98.

You assume we would be able to organize the social, political, and financial impetus to take on a task like that in a unified way that has a chance to succeed. Recent events seem to say that we are at least as likely to just fight about it

If you want to use it and not pay a ton for it, buy a Raspberry Pi and it's a free install. (Used to be included with the OS but now you have to go get it). Obviously you might want to get a nice recent version of the Pi and splurge on
