There are disposable, single-patient stethoscopes, but I've seen my Dr do a casual wipe with an alcohol swab often enough...

Man, it's going to be great when this gets adapted to make sure I'm looking into the screen at all the ads I'm required to watch, or when it complies a report of whether or not I'm…

The old LaserJet was jamming because you neglected to perform even the most basic maintenance. If you'd gotten it a new set of rollers (they were designed to be replaced), it would…

But with without design docs, how will my hordes of low cost contractors know what to do?

What? Tires are the way cars touch the road. If you're slowing down from engine breaking or from friction breaking, the force between the tires and the road will be the same. It's …

The beetle crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit-smelling foulness I can't even imagine. Or maybe I just don't want to. The length of five football fields. Just shy…

Four figures for an operating system license? > $1000? Really? Per computer, for just that version of Windows? Can you explain how that could be worth it?

I also find these "features" despicable, however in Sonicare's case this one is mostly benign. I also have a Sonicare toothbrush, and other then the head it came with, I only use g…

I have that bell, it makes a beautiful sound. It's not quite loud enough, but it's real problem is that its spring is the only thing holding the striker on, and that gets bent out …

To give an alternative opinion, as someone who has come to see a commute as a complete waste of my time, and also as someone who has spent a long time contemplating the nature of m…

Looks like the perfect place to fake some browser chrome and trick people... https://www.theregister.com/2017/01/19/browser_line_of_death...

Beautiful photos, but on a webpage designed to show them off, why desaturate / lighten them on mouse over?

3 things: * Do your homework. * Understand what's going on in class. * Think ahead.

Because it's hard work, and it states that both partners are going to do that work. It can be hard work to get pregnant, hard work to stay pregnant, hard work to carry to term, har…

Haha, lucky you. I might not fly as much as you, but in my experience the moment a bag leaves my line of sight, the chance it gets lost leaps dramatically. As someone who's had che…

The only one who can judge the worthiness of this apology is Matthew Butterick himself. As for me, this sounds like the first steps of the self realization process Matthias should …

Like late night ads for mortgages, "If you're seeing bitcoin on the Underground", that's when you know they're looking for suckers...

Flying used to be like this. I'm from Long Island and I went to college in the Boston area. I remember you could buy a book of delta shuttle tickets (~$100 / fight, book of 5) and …

And it has 2 motors for dynamic aiming

The expression int a, b, c; is not a use of the comma operator. This is using a comma as a separator, like in a function call. The purpose of the comma operator is to add a sequenc…

>When a baby completes its first roundtrip around the Sun, they’re one year old, not zero years old. When the baby is born it is, in fact, zero years old...

This is global warming. The globe as a whole gets warmer, and the weather gets more erratic. See: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/01/clima... https://www.forbes…

Not that I think a pure paperless world isn't a great goal, but that outlook seems a little naive. My 1st grade kid is working on handwriting, drawing, art projects, and other "pen…

Ugh, don't hard code a maximum line width. Let me decide by sizing my window if I want it.
