I learned a long time ago that if you share your knowledge freely with your co-workers that only increases your job security. I postulate this plays off imposter syndrome. Your co-…

For most of my career I worked with a small group (20 to 30) group of highly educated and mostly brilliant people. I barely graduated high school. As the years passed and we all be…

What politicians know that the authors of this study don't seem to realize, is that if we are told the same story repeatedly for long enough, no matter how absurd, we'll start beli…

I agree with you a 100%. Your bike should help you maintain good riding posture even when you are becoming road tired. Just be careful about who you pay to fit the bike. Most shops…

Read as much as you can from Robert A. Pease. He was the guru to contact when it came to analog design. The column he wrote for Electronic Design can still be accessed on line. If …

Tacit knowledge is what I've always thought of as "intuitive feel". As you grow in experience in a field, you start getting this feel for what will work and what won't work. This c…

I maybe out of my league here, but I think you are confusing conditioning, training, and learning.

My best suggestion is to develop another skill that could be distantly related to the skill you already have. In my case, before I retired I was good, not great at circuit design a…

It is my understanding that only about 6000 ancient human skeletons have been found. https://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/human-fossils Many of these are incomplete. So the samples…

I can't help thinking that this problem is being looked at backwards. Maybe in primitive societies good teeth were far more important to survival than they are today. If that were …

Maybe he was just standing in the right place at the right time, but he was also prepared with the right tools to do what he did. Doing good business is more than a spin on a roule…

Most of us chose the profession/vocation we practice because that is the opportunity that presented itself at the time. Very few people set out to be "rich". What they really want …

How you are breathing is also a part of your body language. I don't know how much of your breathing is recognized by other humans, but having been around animals most of my life, I…

My Commodore Vic 20 running basic only allowed 2 character variable names.

At what point do we draw the line that a certain number of deaths outweigh a certain amount of human misery or vice versa. In my state they don't even erect a traffic light until a…

This is fear mongering at best. Anyone who has had a major injury or has been majorly effected by a disease such as pneumonia knows that it takes years to recover. It's only on TV …
