It is a good book but I would not call it a must read for everyone. If you enjoy mysteries and fiction then yes. If you are looking for profound and deep introspection, then no.

I am a traffic engineer that deals with crash reports quite often. One thing we include at the beginning of every crash analysis we do is a disclaimer that the contents of the crash report are subjective and solely the work of the respondin

I will throw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series out there. It was good entertainment that challenged some of my notions about human nature. Nothing super profound but just enough to remain engaging beyond typical pop literature.

It would be amazing if more real reviews of this depth existed, or where easy to find. Any long reviews are usually just crap ad copy, especially for sporting gear. To find the rare honest review is getting harder and harder.

That does bring up a good question, if one were to breed dogs at random from a very large pool of dogs, how many generations would it take to revert to a wolf-like dog? Of course some care would be needed to ensure the dogs were a compatibl

Correct, I should really proof read my comments more closely.

Haha! I though the same thing. I remember watching a video of an amputee ascending up El Cap using a similar set up only with lots of pull-ups! That and less of a Danish modern design aesthetic!

I was unaware of that. Thank you for the bit of knowledge!

Remember, GPS is a military tool first. Civilians get to use it at the militaries discretion. They could turn the selective availability (which was turned off in 2000) back on and remove a lot of civilian accuracy. Maybe civilian pilots ar

A combination of both really. Also included is the transportation of raw materials to production facilities. To be fair, however, these costs exist for non-electric cars to some degree.

On top of that, asphalt is very easy to recycle and is likely the most recycled material on the planet by weight. My original point was that we will still need to extract some oil for a long time into the future.

by takk309 5y ago
How much oil is needed to produce a single electric vehicle? What I am getting at is we will need oil extraction for a long time. While we can move away from burning it for heat, we still need it for the production of most plastics. This do

Just thinking off the top of my head, bioaccumulation is a thing for sure but I don't know how much that it comes from soil. Mercury is naturally occurring in various minerals, although not directly biologically available. Mercury fill

The only shoes I have ever owned that could be repaired and be cost effective to do so have been climbing shoes. I have had one pair resoled three times. I wish it were worth while to repair other shoes but alas, that's the world we l

That is a tough question because I can't think of any places really. Maybe look into the Institute of Traffic Engineers, they may have a forum of some sort.

by takk309 5y ago
I agree completely with this comment. Most places signal timing is done with the main scoring metric of reducing vehicle delay. Pedestrians are just an after thought that can be squeezed into a vehicle specific timing plan. As an example, h

At the end of the day better communication between the public, engineers, planners, and respective agencies is the goal. We have a joke that gets repeated all too often, everyone is a traffic engineer, just ask them! Rapid iteration is key

I am a professional traffic engineer and I build micro-simulation models for most of the projects I am involved with. I can say that compared to software that is used in industry (PTV Vissim, PTV Vistro, and Trafficware Synchro) it looks li

I have had a great experience with my Audio Technica over-ear headphones. They offer a great line up for most budgets. The feature I like the most is that many of their line up can be used wired or wireless! https://www.audio-tec

Glacier NPS is sweet and so is the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Both have a section of the CDT.

As someone that works for a civil engineering consultant in the transportation field I can attest to the bureaucracy from the State leading to higher costs. We routinely increase our bids because we know that the amount of time spent dealin

It would be interesting to reproduce this analysis for first and second waves within the same countries. I could see a few issues with that type of comparison, like the most at risk already having been infected, but those details could be t

There is already a product on the market call RECCO. It is a two part system very similar to what you described. The reflector is seen directly into coat, boots, you name it. SAR then uses a device that sends out a signal that bounces off t

BLM already existed but the pandemic meant that many people had more free time to worry about it. Personal opinion here, the scale of BLM over the past 10 months was greater semi-directly due to the pandemic.

Many of the comments here are clearly for the use of the term engineer in a generic form. As a registered PE (traffic engineering, specifically), I do think there needs to be a clear difference between capital E Engineer and lowercase e eng

I would add Christopher Schwartz to this list. Not really on youtube but his publishing company Lost Art Press is an absolute gold mine for information. His blog (blog.lostartpress.com) has some good information too.
