That's why I'm upgrading myself off of AT&T and on to a modern provider.

I miss having a quick toggle to turn GPS on and off. It was on some of my early smartphones. Now I have to dig into the location menu...

This is version 1.0. CERN education has a great track record of native language activities and will no doubt expand to other languages assuming this course is successful and useful…

With a big friendly cover and the words "Don't Panic!"

My grandfather referred to it as "stinky foot cheese". I still covered my spaghetti with it...he did not. lol

I have a physical copy of your documentary, which I finally decided to buy probably a few months after it was no longer for sale (thank you ebay). It is a memory trip for me and I …

The NASA weekly movie selection for the ISS is the classic 1997 film "Event Horizon". Astronauts: 8O

I know I've found my people when I remember the same relatively obscure video about a relatively specific repair of a long forgotten (by most) device.

Fermilab operated the Tevatron until the LHC was online. They then pivoted to emphasize neutrino research, which is perfectly doable with the linac and the main injector ring. Ther…

Kind of makes me want to hook a multi-mode decoding radio to the output of a high efficiency (lol) neutrino detector to see if any of those extrasolar neutrinos are just interstell…

I bought an Extech CO210 CO2/Temp/Humidity datalogger about ten years ago. It's been a very useful, reliable device. Maybe there are newer models or different manufacturers (e.g. t…

I am 34,583 years old.

The only competition it would have would be a Microline ML184.

So if anyone attacks Ikea now, I'm honor bound to go to war.

Only humans have real names. I'm a figment of the computer's imagination.

Okay...I think this might be interesting. I've seen and read a lot of "math for dumb physicists" works, which as a physicist...yeah, I see their point. This could help me understan…

Somewhere I still have the StarOffice CD/s that I received (bought?) when it was a SUN microsystems product in the...maybe very early 2000s. And now I use LibreOffice...so, fairly …

Anvils on eggs until you have an orbit boosting burn.

Does this analysis also consider the wide ranging massive impact of fentanyl and similar drugs that have skyrocketed drug overdose problems in all communities in the past five year…

Searching for the site of the time capsule on Google Maps makes me wonder -- has anyone created an archive of time capsule locations? I can think of at least three or four at my un…

They're about the same age as me, and they're aging better than I am.

If I had a nose large enough for a bunch of bees to fly up and sting, I would be very interested in avoiding bees too.

Theoretical warp physics -- the real kind, like Alcubierre, not the Wesley Crusher kind -- proposes that a source of negative mass would be critical to the creation of a warp field…

So, it's both an effective entry point for beginners, and powerful enough to be a utility language for experienced programmers.

When it's an option, fly Lufthansa. At least in their transatlantic flights, the food was excellent even though I was in cramped economy class. As I recall I had a type of beef ste…
