You really got me interested in this! Thank you for all the details.

Look into Avery Dennison. Some great innovation coming out of that company and have been on a nice climb the past few years.

How much is the full cow? Does the rancher vacuum seal the individual pieces for you, or do you pick up 600lbs of meat and have a meat packing party? Any other details?

Yah that gave me shivers. I’m flying a 787 in June.

I see it playing out in a different way. The AI judge would never be officially acknowledged. Instead, it would be this dark judge that people turn to when their favorite dog is misjudged. “See, the computer said he was the winner!”. It wou

That’s a great point. The politics of judging, and arguing about it, is probably half of the “fun”.

My mom stumbled upon showing her dog at dog shows (she has a Norwegian Elkhound whose linage has won Westminster). It’s a strange subculture with all the drama you’d imagine. One big source of drama is over the judging and I told my mom one

That was an enjoyable read! One of these days I’m going to make it to a Vandenberg launch.

I particularly liked the top comment on the article (not mine): > In the early seventies, the sport fishing Mecca of choice turned from the warm southern states where fish grew all year long, to oddly, some of the finger lakes in upstate

While alcohol will help put you to sleep (so will a concussion) it inhibits the restorative function of sleep. (1,2,3) I’m all for the hedonistic rationalization for alcohol. We all need a release. But it is disingenuous to say alcohol has

I actually like your nihilistic rationalization here. If one is overtly optimiziming for health and longevity, drinking is a bad idea. If one is optimizing for enjoyment, drink. And of course there is a middle ground. Although I would say t

Alcohol DESTROYS sleep. You wont like any of the studies that google comes up with, so do what I did. Buy an Oura ring, get your baseline sleep data, then have just two glasses of wine and see what happens. It's crazy what just a littl

I meant to set a timer to see how long it took for someone to bring this up. Do we really need to compare deaths and injuries from self-inflicted water intoxication to that of alchohol?

I’m the “historian” of the family. I capture vacations, edit recap videos, and have online and offline back ups of it all. Soon I’ll begin digitizing our old scrap books so they too can be persevered. As of now I have a meaningful photo col

I guess my point is the risk of alcohol consumption is incredibly high and the reward is incredibly low. It’s an irrational game we play (myself included, my wife and I will surely share a bottle of wine tonight at dinner).

I don’t have a dog in this fight, just curious, is there any experimentally proven benefit? Smell, ease of digestion and being an antiseptic (which I believe you mean in relation to fermented fruit) have nothing to do with modern alcohol co

What is this literal global agenda? I love a good weekend drink as much as the next person but it’s very obvious that alcohol is literal poison and best to be avoided. That conclusion doesn’t require a bunch of health organizations to consp

Great article. I did one of the first non-endemic brand deals with a major esports team (Team Liquid) in 2015, with the explicit goal of showing that gamers are athletes. We setup private chefs for them, helped with training, etc. It was a

The first half of the video, about these similar robot narrated news stories, has been talked about before. I had been trying to understand how it was done, and this video dives into it. Important watch, surprised this isn’t getting much lo
