    I had a nice Philips blue light system, really well designed. It changed nothing for me, and I ended up giving it to someone and I don't think it did anything for them either. $300…

    I liked what I saw. I would love for you to have a simple filter so I could just examine, say Ruy Lopez games (I know this is more complex for your back end). Right now, you presen…

    Suggest bushes, water fountain or a noise-generating water source Probably a losing battle but perhaps something like cork or wood lattice-type structure to absorb sound - that is …

    Turn your screen so it faces your office door or towards your co-workers. If it is on your phone at work, stop using the phone or just use the phone in the hallway. When you are at…

    My adventures solo thru Europe and N. Africa were outstanding and I grew so much in self confidence and an understanding of my personal abilities. I wish I took more trips, and hit…

    I had a good time with R for statistical process control. I don't think I used any libraries at the time (this was a long time ago) except maybe Pareto charts, but I primarily work…

    I read so many business books, and they are hard to get rid of after you have amassed a large collection of several hundred. On reflection, many seem like crap, or maybe a good few…

    Love VI. I should research this, but in my day, I would occasionally mistype a VI command and somehow sort my code. It was really easy to "undo" as I had not saved changes, but I h…

    I had about 14 yrs of R exposure and really liked it, but it was time to try something new. I cut over to Julia with my "retirement" and I've had no issues at all with it. With LLM…

    The other concern would be attending an international conference or training session in Canada and for some reason, have your aircraft re-routed to a US airport. Next thing you kno…

    We help the homeless in a mid-sized city on the west coast. The county's efforts for the homeless have been pretty impressive, and when we help with the weekly clothing giveaway, s…

    In all the fields I worked, we would have these really passionate people who cared about the area they worked. And they would crawl over broken glass to go to these conferences. Th…

    You need a sign to the effect, all unattended dishes will be found in the bin next to the trash can.

    Kona Coffee! Hawaii. We bought some once, it was about $48 a pound (and a very long time ago). We all huddled around it and evaluated the taste, and honestly, we could not tell tha…
