From a brief stint in Seoul, I ran into a beverage called Makgeolli. A rice-wine, sake-adjacency that clocks in at beer ABV levels (maybe someone started a batch and couldn't wait …

If the goal is the building. Balsa kits (an xacto knife, 2 bottles of super glue [thick/thin], CA-accelorator) are the way to go. Discuss gliders are easy to manage the risk of lea…

Fiscal policy was used to ensure we didn't all starve during the pandemic, and that 2024 didn't do it's best 1928 impersonation. Was inflation worse? Of course. The conditions and …

Option 1: Confront your mental blocks and shitty life with depression. Option 2: Confront your mental blocks and shitty life with less depression (due to pharmacology). Option 3: C…

Ah yes. Physics, the ultimate gatekeeper. If an idea doesn't work on the back of a napkin, it's done. Think about other approaches to the problem and get another napkin. I think th…

It's already being observed. Bird migrations have been happening earlier/later, and ranges of birds have increased. I'm sure the same thing is happening for whales / ocean animals.…

Ironically the only reason the lake still exists is the runoff that's poisoning it. As agricultural practices tighten up, the lake will dry/concentrate even more.

I've had both. The back pain was instigated by moving, driving across the country, helping someone out with yard work slinging rock, and then going for a post-thanksgiving run, whi…

Don't think I'm too crazy but last time I checked: 1. Yes they are microcontrollers. 2. Yes they use C/C++. (check the libraries/SDKs, 1 layer under the hood it's all .h/.cpp files…

Just recalling what I did a couple years ago. Bluetooth is an absolute nightmare if you don't understand the majority of what's going on (which in and of itself takes... a lot of t…

Disco Elysium delves into this a little bit. It's a text-based RPG game that's surprisingly engaging.

Tei Feng. The best. Milwaukee does it proper. Szechuan Restaurant on National.

I was taught never to trust eye contact either. They could be looking past you and motorcycle profiles are very low. I'm looking for a stationary front wheel hub. Any movement meri…

Don't underestimate the context in which you worked e.g. showing up to the job having your ace-in-the-hole: the Knowledge (capitol K-Knowing in your bones) that you could do better…

1.2 ** 2 == 1.44. So... ? Power is linear wrt area of the disk?

I look up directions before-hand and draw maps. It works most of the time as long as you plan to be a little late "snoopin" around.

Apples and oranges though. Murakami writes symbolic surrealism. A far-cry from down-to-earth (rome?), politically driven scifi. I think 1Q84 is possibly his worst work. He aimed fo…

It's a 3 million person suburb. There is no "there" there.
