   Pilots also do a 3 handshake exchange when handing over control to the other pilot. Pilot: "You have the plane." Co-Pilot: "I have the plane." Pilot: "You have the plane." The third statement is the pilot ackn

   I'm very excited for this feature and bought a Copilot+PC for this feature. I spend so so much time looking for information I saw in the past...a document, a conversation, a website, etc. This will be a big time saver and have a ton o

   This can't be an accurate realt-time map. The satellites are travelling way, way too fast. This map shows a satellite travelling from LA to Denver in 10 seconds. You can literally see the satellites at night and they do not traverse

   Does this thing have a tether to the surface or not? I would be blown away if it didn't have a tether, but that seems to be the case.

   As a landlord of single family homes, I have to look at the detailed credit history of potential tenants. Before I even get to that stage I let them know the income requirements, etc. so usually we are looking at the top 3 applicants out o

   This site is basically Reddit now. Really stupid comments from people with no insight.

    I went dark for six months in 2019. I treated the news like Game of Thrones spoilers-- I worked really hard to stay un-informed. The result was that I was absolutely happier, more focused and a better father. I recommend such a sabbatical

    I recently wrote a science fiction novel that I intentionally kept short (50,000 words - 200 pages- readable in a weekend). When reading, I don't finish most of what I start because it takes 80-100 pages to get to the hook. I underst

    That's the thing, I'm certainly not the demographic the ad is targeting.

    This page shows like 15 copies of the same mildly NSFW ad. Surprised this is a thing on Spacedaily.

    Install a scheduled host blocker and block all your time wasters until the hours of 10PM until midnight. Don't be afraid to admit that the moment you feel a touch of boredom you reflexively type 'reddit'. Tools like 'Fr

    I have yet to see how this thread will go but I imagine there will be some population that sees this as a malicious attack on 'right to repair'. My take from behind the scenes on these kind of things is that this is likely '

    I am going to call this some kind of technical error. The episodes deleted are so mundane that it's impossible to imagine taking these down but keeping all kinds of horrible music that is explicitly violent, rapey and racist.

    There are broadly two kinds of homeless: those who lost their job and are discreetly trying to get back on track... and those who choose this lifestyle and shit all over the place, make enormous amounts of trash, smoke meth in bookstore ba

    I wrote Backblaze and said "I would pay to ship you a drive so I don't have to upload 500GB over my consumer internet. That is my biggest pain point." and then the customer service rep replied that it wouldn't be a goo

    I sometimes feel alone when I go to Reddit and have the same disgusted feeling you do-- and it's because all the dissenting opinions are downvoted and deleted. With that kind of moderation, how is there any other outcome other than a l

    Govt funding of a student's degree in proportion to the need for that skillset. We need it. China does something similar to this-- essentially preventing swaths of the population from getting useless degrees.

    You are right, I didn't write out my intention clearly. People should bring life experiences like that to work-- probably shouldn't keep a scorecard though.

    His resignation letter chastises the school for not giving enough attention to his mother's death-- he only got two condolences. Does this strike anyone else as a really strange thing to bring up a tally of condolences in a resignatio

    I don't get why the UAVs need lights. They might not have been detected without them-- so it's like they were asking too be seen. Also just an aside, I was on that cruise ship that was in the vicinity a month before this. I went

    This is a horrible website and you will likely experience diminished tenure if you follow it's advice. First, there is a complete lack of empathy for the person being labelled. What are the motivations and constraints that led to this

    Heard this third hand but fairly reliable: owners of a hotel had rooms used to house homeless in SF and they were destroyed and cost a tremendous amount to repair.

    I went to a Fry's in San Jose (jungle themed I think) on a Saturday afternoon at 3PM and there were literally 7 cars in the parking lot. I went inside and there were few people and the shelves were loosely stocked with junk from China

    Well I have an oddly specific contribution to this thread: My first boss was absent all the time. He'd show up to the office and lock himself away, leave and then not come back for another 6 months. He hated software and computers a
