    I moved to MRPeasy about 18 months ago from QB desktop enterprise mfg edition. Overall it’s a big improvement and I recommend it. Their support is very responsive and provides answ…

    Their approach was really new to me. I’m pressed this is a passive device. Note, I have no relation to this company but do like boats.

    I strongly disagree that one should always dive with a buddy. But I’ll also say that one shouldn’t dive alone. Exit and entry are usually the most dangerous part of the dive. Divin…

    I have a huge problem with how people gauge risks from scuba diving. This stems from the fact that IMHO must divers are horribly under trained and under practiced for what they are…

    I think thermal insulation plays a FAR bigger role in how tired one feels. I wear 7mm wetsuit even in tropical waters. All the “tough guys” make fun of me for it, but I’ll do five …

    Most legit scientists agree that loud, low frequency sonar have negative impact. But this is not that. It’s high frequency and low power.

    I have 2 nice leather ones I got from a friend that worked in the leather industry (they gave them out at tradeshows). I keep them and reuse them at all the shows/conferences I go …

    I came across this topic when I read about a proposed MSR powered ship. I’ve yet to see a solution for powering ships via renewables. Ships also require a relatively small reactor …

    Good point about tech debt. Furthermore a prototype or MVP may not be intended to have along life from the start. It likely is just to test a theory/concept/business model. Then if…

    Also, I’ve never seen a brewery with a cnc machine. There is likely a business reason for this.

    You should consider watching some live NIN concerts. Even if the music is not your favorite, the stage show is amazing.
