When I got my second, I had a bidet and it made a huge difference. That and a bit of vaseline to prevent too much irritation. It's an uncomfortable process so taking every win you …

Most people don’t think along this axis. It’s the same reason why if you asked somebody how a toilet works or the functionality of P-trap (both things a majority have interacted wi…

Makes me think of Jackson's electrodynamics - yit always seemed to me a hazing ritual. I remember a story of someone asking him a question from the book and he basically said "how …

Considering 2 hours ago is 7AM EST, you might want to wait for America to wake up before jumping to conclusions. The article isn't even about military readiness either. Making the …

Easy! Keep it in the backyard

My pixelbook is the same way. However, I custom made a debug cable so I wouldn't have to pull the battery out which often destroys it because of all the adhesives they use

There is also a cultural component to saying hello/hi before stating your request. Almost every Asian/Indian person I have worked with starts a conversation this way. I asked a fri…

Mentioned in another thread - I use it to write unit tests for me. I give it a function, tell it to write a test and it largely gets it right most of the time. I have to tweak it b…

I never use ChatGPT for anything I don't already know how to do. The biggest thing I've had it writing for me recently though - unit tests. It writes them much quicker and even tho…

Every time I have opened Teams, I have had a problem. I have a "not simple" webcam/audio setup with virtual webcams and audio sources and half the time, Teams will show black and a…

I just got blindsided two weeks back from the best job I've ever had. Not looking forward to the search (taking December off to get married) as I have extreme anxiety when it comes…

I was a bit confused too but the book by O'Reilly is about hunting Nazis after WW2 (apparently he has a whole series), Scarborough's is about the Truman Doctrine and how it shaped …

Having gone through the graduate physics curriculum, I wouldn't call Jackson a gem. Necessary hazing for physicists? Sure. Quantum Mechanics by Cohen-Tannoudji is a real gem imo

There have been studies on the effects of combining techniques with minoxidil like with needling for better absorption [1]. I know people have done this for beard growth as well. T…

I do wonder what you mean by "get up at 6AM and start working." Do you immediately get out of bed and get on your computer or do you shower/eat/every other morning activity first? …

I use a GoPro Hero 9 Black and always get compliments on my image quality. GoPro's software is lacking so I stream straight to my computer and do post-processing there with great r…

I remember a thread a bit back about how violent the ejection process is and most of the time it results in serious injury. Very lucky for the old guy (and pilot) to remain relativ…
