No rush, I'd love to hear!

I want to make a substance that prevents calluses. I'm not fussed about how it works. Perhaps it will be a spray that hardens or softens the hand so dead skin won't build up, perha…

Thank you! Again, this makes sense to me. I have emailed one of them before and said I was frustrated with him. I was quite respectful and careful not to offend. I got back a coupl…

This makes sense to me. I'm definitely still in the indignation and anger part of the process, but I can appreciate that this is just a nice chance to develop some new tools. I can…

There were two, and they were 'bad' in different ways. Neither had any talent for teaching, both were unwilling to lift a finger to help outside of class. One was a typical powerpo…

"In the summer, almost 10% of the household electricity in the south of Germany is generated by solar panels." I don't know a great deal about solar energy, and I was led to believ…

I agree that there are plenty of possible reasons for poor personal performance, and it would be foolish to assume that more sleep/exercise is a universal solution. But the article…

I'm interested in the kind of daily annoyances you have that you've more or less accepted but would change if given the chance. I'm mostly talking about things that are not softwar…
