I got to drive a '77 911S once and it was pretty much the same except with more rattles and the noise was coming from the back. Fun car, but still no match for a 2022 Kia.

Very much the same, here. One thing people may not realize is that 90mph in a 1980's Porsche feels a lot different than, say, 90mph in any car built today. A few months ago I got one of my old porsches back on the road. Feeling confide

oh, the heart attacks weren't accidental. They imaged the pig real time while inducing a heart attack to see how the muscle deformed. I never did ask what they did with the dead pigs, but they did have special carts to wheel them aroun

You might be asking, why a pig? I don't know, but forever ago I wrote software for a cardiovascular imaging lab and pigs were their primary test subjects. I was like, "why pigs?" and the PI was like, "Imaging-wise, pig h

keep an eye out for quality forums, as well. I have been out of it for a long time, but on the quant side there was nuclearphynance.com and wilmott.com - I imagine there are less specialized forums with quality people out there somewhere.

What kind of board allows an announcement like this to happen in such an uncontrolled way? I feel like this is just more evidence that Twitter's board is weak.

Same. Out of my entire collection, the 5610 gets the most wear because for me it is the perfect watch. It is so rugged, I can keep it on while wrenching on cars and it still looks fine after several years.

Slice it in half or thirds. It feels weird chopping up a perfectly good book, but makes reading so much easier.

nice! I worked at a place in 1999 that had an RTF file on a public share that had the passwords for everything. It was ok because it was encrypted with wingdings...

Yikes. Garmin avionics are extremely popular in the aviation and marine navigation world. There's a lot of times I wouldn't want to see "Unable to contact server" on my radar screen.

You're right in the "this is one more tool in the belt" sense but there are modelers like the Kemper and Fractal already out there that make your guitar sound like... anyone... and they are really convincing. I'd argue t

I feel like cash for clunkers destroyed a lot of value, prices went up, and consumers got little out of it.

sorry, "sticky" is wrong in the context of ethanol gas in a modern-ish tank for a few months. However, when any gasoline is exposed to oxygen it forms solids called "gums." My 1971 car has a tank that's vented to th

This is 100% correct. After about 6 months in the tank, ethanol gas starts turning into sticky garbage that doesn't want to burn. I have a few classic cars that sit a lot. A couple times a year I drive an hour to my nearest ethanol-fre

The watch you linked has the 3159 module which really hits the sweet spot for features. You get radio sync, daylight savings, world clock, stop watch, 4 alarms, snooze, and countdown timer. It is my beater watch but I end up wearing it more

I was lucky enough to tour the Flugelbinder estate just last year. The gardens were breathtaking.

Really glad to hear you're working on this problem. I've done a bit of grooming medical imaging datasets for AI projects. A big chunk of time is spent working on pipelines to properly de-identify the images. Everything from PHI hi

You might be able to use normal, foam earplugs. If you sleep on your side, only use one plug for the ear that's not on the pillow. You'll need to get used to having them in your ears, though. I wore them as much as possible (even

Some of the DIY car communities/forums are a lot of fun. I spend too much time keeping an old Porsche on the road and the information and comradery available in the community is fantastic

I've read The Road twice. First as a son, then as a father. My dad and I went though some crap I couldn't grasp when I was young. The book made me feel like I could finally understand what he was going through. Why he did what he

What keeps a reservoir filled up with distilled water from freezing solid in cold weather? I bought a texas car off ebay and had it shipped up north. The day it dipped below freezing was the first day I learned that texas windshield washer

oh man, VHDL was the worst. My hope is things like this will get people to build better, open sourced tooling.

There is an alternative way to calculate tax that is not based on number of shares. Not going to lie, I about had a heart attack when I got my first annual letter from Delaware. I think it's a right of passage.

The physics behind MRI is great. All it does is line up the magnetic moments of all the hydrogen atoms in your body, flips their spin with a burst of energy then watches for electrons as they flip back to a lower energy state. Totally safe!

Why don't you have any cardiologists on your team?

I like how you have at least a mailchip subscription form on the domains you aren't using. Do you get much activity on them?

I was in a coverband and each of our wives were annoyed at how much time we practiced. We joked about naming the band "Men Facing Divorce." I went ahead and scooped these up and never did anything with them: menfacingdivorce.com m
