Permitting and regulation is generally a sub-component to each of the three things mentioned, and can be a major factor in schedule adherence for large scale construction projects. Whether that is the primary impediment or not is often a f

Wow, if that's a legitimate 23 and not a replica, that's a hell of a car with quite a lot of racing pedigree. Personally I'd be almost afraid to drive it due to its rarity, but I wouldn't be able to resist giving it a g

I hope you have a good experience with it. I had a Bosch dishwasher in my old house for some time until a failure, and it was so absurdly quiet that the little light it projects on the floor when running was truly valuable. It cleaned wel

I love all beaters, not just Japanese ones, but Japanese ones tend to be the best. The lighter the weight, the shorter the wheelbase, the more fun it is, regardless of how much of a shitbox it is. One of my favorite cars in my past life is

I don't think there's anything wrong with doing purely cosmetic modifications if those modifications don't also make the car worse. The challenge is many folks in the community do cosmetic modifications that actually reduce

My midlife crisis is also cars. I'm in the process of searching for an honest to god mechanic's shop to buy under an LLC just so I have a better place to work on cars than my garage. I have a list of 8 cars I want to own and res

I promise you, there are many many many people who modify their cars and do not act like assholes. The thing is, you probably don't notice them because they aren't focused on getting attention.

I promise you it is not limited to the Camry/Corolla/Civic community, it's just that those cars are very commonplace so its more obvious. I had a full track build BRZ that looked nearly stock from the outside other than the

As someone who has been engaged in children's lives in the age range of 4-9 that have struggled with school, I can't imagine using AI being a net benefit to them. You know what helped me succeed in helping these children more tha

> No, you painted your knowledge as being comprehensive, which is absurd for anyone to claim. The arrogance is in asserting one’s personal knowledge as being absolute and complete. I never made any such assertion. I left out the word &q

I feel like this is some sort of satire? There's no actual information or substance to anything on any page of that site.

Unknown to me, but something useful to know is that there is something smaller than microplastics called nanoplastics. The distinguishing factor is that nanoplastics are particles smaller than 1 micron, while microplastics are particles be

Yep, I didn't mention that regarding RO, but any properly designed system will include remineralization as a final filtration stage to buffer the water. Definitely switch to waxed string floss vs plastic floss made from Teflon. I wasn

MSM is one of the highest risk activities you can do for bloodborne diseases. If this is discriminatory, life is discriminatory. Life is not fair, and there is nothing any artificially constructed social system will ever do to force mothe

Yes, there are a few things you can do. In rough priority / proven benefit order: 1. Eliminate as many items as possible from your diet that make use of PFAS based components, such as plastic linings. This means don't buy grocer

Does /anyone/ take notes in a personal context? I don't take notes when I catch up with friends, but neither does anyone else. It's a complete non-issue.

I can understand, especially in a medical context, being bothered by AI notetaking specifically because it implies your private information being handed off to a third-party where you cannot control it, rather than that an AI tool is proces

I think something important to consider as well is quality of basic services. I've been permanently remote since 2015, and I've moved three times since then. But as a remote worker, I spend most my time in my home and that means

I don't if anyone is doing this yet, but I think a small LLM w/ data sets for RAG reachable via APRS and LoRa would be very useful, not just as an individual but for the community around you.

I got stuck with a very large bill for bandwidth overages due to bots hammering my photo gallery on my website. With Cloudflare in front I've since been running my site for years off a $10/mo VPS.

One of the bitter truths is that these types of things aren't easily replicated in other regions because of cultural differences. You have to have developed trust and accountability over decades or centuries in your culture that would

As someone who loves using OpenCode w/ local Chinese open source models, this is basically my take on this as well. There's no way I would ever put a piece of proprietary Chinese software that gets full system control on anything
