Serious Sam didn't come out until 2001. How did you play it in 1999?

I find the Hobbit and LOTR terribly boring. But these interpretations are fascinating and delightful.

I love this veiled (but true) insult. That is the core of my love-hate relationship with this site.

Before I make a change in residence or work, I have a plan for continuity of good habits. Sign up for the new gym. Figure out where going will fit into my likely future schedule. S…

I can have them delivered for very little premium. If my co-workers and I pool our orders we can reduce the impact of those deliveries (or rotating pickup), and have more choice ab…

Rail was a hugely impactful tool during the US Civil War. I would guess that geography and the demographics of the American west are as much to blame as the relative lack of contin…

Yes. And easy. Though I would imagine not as common a practice as it was in the past.

> They shield you from product owners and stakeholders by meeting with them and giving you only the information you need I've worked at a lot of places like this, and I'm continual…

What? I can understand that absolute values aren't very meaningful, as they're probably missing a lot of necessary context. BMI is one metric that doesn't paint a clear picture on …

How do you handle two separate onsites for people that have to travel to get to your office?

For about $100 every 10 years, I'd rather be safer than sorry.

Communication skills are as important as programming skills. It is a super power to be able to communicate clearly and appropriately for the circumstance/audience.

That is as much a technique problem as it is a fastener problem. Use a torque driver if you can. And always bracket the bit with your fingers. If you are straining, something is wr…

I prefer safety post tuners. You can get accurate ones for cheap and string changes are super fast and easy. Usually enough winding to make for stable tuning. I’ve found slightly o…

What's the problem with those questions?

> You certainly implied that it did. "in my book" is often used to cast a statement as opinion. So something "definitely" being X "in my book" is pretty clearly not meant to be any…

I never claimed it did. Further, I don't think there is a dichotomy here. You could have solved your problem in a dozen other ways. You were privileged enough to do it in the way t…

Having an abundance of light at night was a novelty and a luxury in the past. Definitely toy territory in my book.

Sure, but that end was coming before Tesla was a brand name. The trucking industry is surprisingly innovative, despite overall conservative practices. Go look at Volvo concept truc…

This is a huge question. It depends on so many things. We can make assumptions on viable strategies given Tesla's finances and past behavior. But that still leaves us with a lot of…

Because of its ubiquity, I would put them on par. However, there are many, many more players in trucking than in aerospace which complicates things.

Tesla will be selling into a very complicated industry. You think enterprise sales of software are hard, just wait. Tesla say their system includes all the functions necessary. I h…

Most semi-trucks are filled with proprietary technologies. Then more such is layered on by fleets, leasing companies, maintenance providers, etc. Little of it natively works togeth…

A quick search turns up a number of companies to which you can outsource your AR. Not sure what the payment structure looks like.
