Even though it’s possible to deduce, I think it would still be helpful to indicate temperature units (C/F).

I've de-Googled nearly everything: Firefox, DDG, protonmail, BitWarden, LibreOffice, etc. I even switched to iPhone. The only thing I haven't been able to get rid of; YouTube. Ther…

I live in a northern Midwest suburb, in a region that receives a lot of snow in the winter. I have driven older trucks my whole life, in part because of of the 4x4 capability for w…

What browser do you use now?

I recommend checking out Graham Stephan on YouTube. He's got a lot of great content about real estate investing.

Very similar experience here, I went through 2 Charge HRs in about a year. I'm on my third now, but I purchased this one new on eBay for $50 iirc (after the Charge 3 was released).…

I'm in a particularly stressful time in my life (just moved, intense new job) where I've been struggling to sleep. There will be some nights where I simply don't sleep at all; just…

but what cools the radiator fins, in the absence of air?

What if you have a large family, and need a large vehicle? This seems like a narrow and potentially discriminatory thing to do.

Just out of curiosity, who are your target users? What does it mean to be an unusual person? I'd suggest that you get someone to edit some of the content on your front page. There …

Your brain my not remember the phone numbers, but it contains the location of (or the pointers to) the object that contains the phone numbers. Sort of reminds me of the "extended m…

Something I've wondered- why hasn't Lenovo received the same flack that DJI and Huawei received?

Regarding dealing with difficult problems: "Like almost all problems in life you have only 4 options: #1 Change you (accept what you are unable to change) #2 Change the other (conv…

I work for a large global company, and my department is building a fairly large Angular application. My team "owns" the primary project and several shared component libraries, and …

I've baked components before, only once with limited success. Several years ago I had a 9800GTX graphics card fan go out, and its core temp rose to 117 Celsius[1]. Eventually it di…

Here's an anecdotal story. My team was interviewing engineers last year. We had a Chinese engineer come interview with us. She was in the States on a work visa, and her first job h…

I have had the exact opposite experience. Prior to 2012 I was in college and was overweight/out of shape and always felt like crap. I decided to get into shape: did intense cardio …

That part was luck. These two companies both got me through their interview process at the same time, and they both gave me about a week to respond as well. I'm also in a unique si…

What I did recently was risky, so YMMV. I asked my boss for a raise last year around performance review time. I explained that I had taken on a lot of responsibility, I cited some …
