I was working full time and did my PhD at the same time. My employer let me do the work at work (there was a lot of overlap) and only had to travel to university to take a few clas…

Sure. A lot of the playground are kinda dull today especially as the kids get older. My kids learned to climb trees in my yard and in the parks around. They also sometimes climb on…

A few jobs back when I was working for a fairly large telecom company there was a similar kind of thing for the software department. I was in hardware but sometimes I would intervi…

This! I've been doing BJJ for 8 months now and I am addicted.

Brazilian JiuJitsu. After trying and failing for many years to exercise, this sport keeps me coming back. I feel the difference from before: better posture, strength, and flexibili…

Not sure about that. If Matlab is their main competition, then they are much cheaper and you get tons more (that you may never use but its there...) for the price of just Matlab's …

This reminds me of the documentary Race to Nowhere. They talk about the high suicide rate amongst teens due to burn out from school and how some were brought back from the brink. h…

It doesn’t seem to be the default anymore on iPhone. Mine was set to private and doesn’t show on the feed. I got Venmo about a year ago.

Only 150 people with 35 intubated. There are several factors that could explain (at least part of) their results and one is age. They do mention that age denotes a statistically si…

None at all. When the democrats are in office you kick out far right. When the republicans are in you kick out far left. This way you avoid getting regulated. It’s a free country a…

This is a free country you can listen to whatever channel you want and let them listen to whatever they want.

Yeah you are right. Instead they burn down businesses and riot in the streets and go attack far right rallies. It seems both far left and far right are embolden these days. No scie…

Here is the Nature Communications article. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-19183-0 Before we get too excited: "In particular, we deliver light-absorbing graphene particl…

From the credit card. They will then deal with the company. So then it becomes their (the credit card company’s) problem.

In this case a dispute.

Similar issue with Aeroflot. They cancelled my flight and issued a refund but said it would take weeks. After 4 weeks called my credit card company and they issued a credit to my a…

Yes. Sorry. Ultralight can have one seat. Sport can have up to two. Agreed about the student pilot not getting an endorsement on an on-going basis. It's too much of a risk to them.…

Good luck on your checkride!

You can fly a category of airplanes called ultra-light and you don't need a pilot's license. You can take a single passenger. It is based on airplane weight and horse power. Differ…

I am an instrument rated private pilot. What your dad told you is true but is also mostly preventable. Sometimes there are accidents that you don't know ahead of time will happen: …

Given current, insufficient levels of protection, periodic measles epidemics are more or less to be expected. That’s because immunization rates appear to have plateaued, in recent …

Optical angular momentum: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_angular_momentum_of_...

Not quite. The paper cited above [0] Figure 2 pg 17 shows conductivity as a function of temperature. A superconductor has a flat part of the conductivity at low temperature here th…

Could it be that by the third plague more people developed immunity and therefore less were killed.
