I'm kind of torn between the top deck and the nose seats. I've flown British Airways's business class on the upper deck, and I've flown Qantas' business class which is all on the l…

That was delightful, what more can I say?

This is cool! I do want to ask, did you have AI design the page for you? It looks like a design pattern I've seen spit out by LLMs pretty frequently. I'm not hear to talk down to y…

It reminds me of the iPhone 5C when I had a 5S, it's a beautiful colorful breath of fresh air that I wish I had but my needs are so much greater. But if I wasn't an engineer who ne…

It's called Coppertone for a reason

You've gotta change it from "you're throwing a party" to "we're throwing party". Or just ask them to invite some people man, don't stress.

A recent survey revealed that 30% of Australians are casually racist... https://youtu.be/DHQRZXM-4xI?si=gsVaLimUuW_g0c6d&t=72

Maybe? The Australian tech seen has always felt fairly small to me, at least in Sydney. We've got Atlassian and Canva as the local darlings, and then Google, Amazon, FB, and Salesf…

That's a bad faith argument and you know it. More power is more power. These projects weren't taking away from development of other power plants.

Mirror's Edge (2008) had a pretty neat level inspired by these storm drains https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE3qooY0d_A

It's been a few years since I've used a VPN with streaming, but I recall some services not working well with it. I was in Australia with NordVPN to the US on a fibre connection.

I looked it up out curiosity, it's over 2 miles along a major road that crosses a major freeway. There is a suburban route that has a dedicated bike lane crossing of the freeway (1…

It's always a treat to fly on. I managed to score some first class award tickets on Etihad's A380s from Sydney to Abu Dhabi to London... for July 2020. As you can imagine, that did…

"Sydney has a few crossings where instead of particular directions being open to pedestrians, the whole crossing goes green for pedestrians and red for cars. This seems more effici…

You should see how impressive some of the luxury trains have gotten. Japan has a couple of them that are particularly luxurious. And while these aren't owned by individuals, they'r…

Of their works: the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has a few choice coding songs. Some of it is little too dark or a little too airy. Before the Flood is also pretty good a little sad…

The Ministry of the Future also addressed the same type of heat reduction technology, albeit as a much smaller part of the book. I'd highly recommend it, though the opening is very…

I don't own a car anymore, but it's something I online window shop sometimes. It seems like Lexus is going to be the last luxury car brand to keep physical controls instead of all …

Yeah but the gas mileage on that was only 16 city/24 highway (mpg)...

I don't see any sources on this, just some tongue in cheek Quora posts. I did find something interesting about "the Slugshot" being illegal in some US states, but I would take this…

I've enjoyed sensory deprivation tanks like this, but to be perfectly honest, I feel like I can let my mind wander the same way when I wake up an hour before my alarm goes off and …
