   I also added a screen cover to my iPad to get texture with Pencil. I haven't seen fast abrasion with this cover. Pencil tips seem to last a really long time. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00G4SA1FG&#x2F

   Texture matters. I bought this screen cover for my iPad for the explicit use of adding texture since 99% of my iPad usage is with Apple Pencil. I had read it has a paper texture unlike other slick covers: https://www.amazon.com&#

   A pound of meat isn't the same as a pound of carrots. In case you're wondering about climate impact per calorie instead of per pound/kg, here's an interesting article from the Washington Post: https://www.wa

   What most people miss is that methane (ie from cows) is more than an order of magnitude as impactful as carbon dioxide. This source says methane is 84x the impact of carbon dioxide: https://www.edf.org/climate/methane-o

    I've tried EpocCam Pro [1] which is good at the basics. The biggest challenge with these "phone as webcam" setups is getting a good mounting system. A tripod is hard to get in the right spot, and stacks of books are fail. Nei

    Nice work! Your BOM looks similar to OpenPCR's. One fundamental advantage of these smaller PCR machines over traditional designs was running fewer samples (i.e. 16 vs 32+), which translates to less fabrication, less peltier devices, an

    Anyone else out there surprised to see Elon "zag" so badly on COVID, including this? I've always been impressed by his agility with ideas, zigging and zagging and I've been there cheering him on. But on this one it seems

    I work at Hero City, upstairs from Boost. The Boost team is awesome, I often hear them doing wacky chants and yells downstairs, their team is weird and hard working. Makes the whole office more fun.
