    Hopefully this will really end commingling. I received a pair of bicycle tires as a gift (they bought on Amazon instead of locally) and even though everything looked identical, one…

    I was diagnosing my washer (drum balance issue; many annoying minutes unlocking the lid multiple times) earlier today and had the same thought.

    Noticed as a kid I could flip a quarter with a certain consistency, so I experimented a bit and quickly got to be >90% accurate with an ordinary (controlled) flip. Pretty simple. I…

    If a challenger doesn't appear soon, I may have to look into stitching together my Chromebook Plus display (12.3" 2400x1600, 3:2, with Touch Screen) to some new AMD laptop body.

    As an example (the only case that I've identified personally), if your curious, I have a (windows; Intel q6600) box that I use for gaming occasionally. Single player game I like, T…

    It'd be nice to be able to easily boot into, or toggle into, a performance optimized, disabled mitigations environment to do something while offline.. many computer uses don't requ…

    Yep, Stoli is definitely a bottom-tier vodka (not in price, though)

    I've done double blind vodka tastings and some of the cheaper vodkas come out on top. e.g. Barton's is as good as top-shelf (that were in the tasting)

    To be fair, I am mostly surprised there are not yet EV or hybrid vans, versus PVs on the roof. Seems like stop-and-go, or lots of idling, fleets would benefit signifigantly. I imag…

    I thought Tesla or Mercedes would have one by now. Diesel generator optional.

    3% rule -> $24k per year. Pretty reasonable, I'd say.

    That might be interesting, actually. Has it been done? I've been an advocate for "coin flipping is not random" since I was young and could flip heads or tails on demand (about 80% …

    I'm not sure about the metaphor. With a little practice, one can certainly flip one's desired result with high probability. It's a pretty simple physical system (which is why coin …

    "wynd halo" on kickstarter maybe? sub $100 + accurate seems a tall order, but maybe this latest one will be good.

    I had to deal with fully self-driving cars in SF a couple times and i actually became more aggressive about my right-of-way ("well, it's not going to hit me" i thought).
