That's cool. I actually am a surgeon.

Its kind of interesting: the 555 is such _horrible_ timer. It can't do a 50% duty cycle without extra BOM parts, even more parts to make a real PWM out of it, and it has terrible t…

Don't let MAGA hear you... they'll start banning and burning linux boxes.

If there's one thing surgeons like, it is advice from other surgeons.

such as...?

or an f-word

I just listened to the examples on the front page. I'm blown away. I watched streaming kill the dreams of 90's bands, when getting a demo CD in the hands of an A&R rep was legit pu…

Been here for 10 years. :) I think there should be a higher standard than just posting random links without context. How about a single line of text explaining why it is interestin…

A startup from ... the 1800's? Thanks for the context, I guess.

What's the catch? Why post this?

How do these work? You can't stay compressed all the time? Is it intravenal?

4~7 mmHg isn't going to make or break a hypertension diagnoses. 20~30 mmHg definitely.

I'm pretty sure if I knew I could never lose a dime of my billions of fortune I'd be working on teleporters, warp drives, and time machines. People would call me a genius because I…

What parts of this can be reused? I bet the engine is OK, but seems like the sides of the ... tube ... were pretty roughed up. I guess that's probably the cheapest part of the asse…

There's a conspiracy among techies growing like ivy: that UFO == aliens, and that the US gov't is in cahoots, or being attacked by them. It's SO weird to see this spread among self…

I'm staring at a PC-AT mobo from 1988 with an AMD-branded 286 chip that also says Copyright Intel (lol), and the battery has leaked a white film.

I have a 42 year old apple //e that had been in an uninsulated attic in Boston for 30+ years. It booted fine and all the 5 1/4" floppies worked. I know that C64s need the caps repl…

It's on par with Asimo, when not being controlled by a remote human. But you're probably too young to remember what Asimo is.

Guy owns two AI companies and still is a decade behind.

"They give the computer hints about how to handle situations" That's a cute euphemism for remote operators.

College Alternative is not Punk. I went to Pixies concerts when I was at BU in the 80's. They were a rich white kid college band. Punk was a very specific movement. It's like sayin…

"Until recently, physicians have widely been unaware or dismissive of the symptom. " Yeah no shit. I went off Paxil and had brain zaps for over a YEAR. Gone now but I will never go…

I thought they had remote drivers to take over when shit goes south?
