Think of it this way - once you're in a state of obesity, resolving that situation is quite difficult. Eating healthy may not be enough, particularly if there are other metabolic i…

Sorry - I think there's complexity with insulin at play that you're overlooking. When I did caloric restriction, I was constantly battling hypoglycemic events that made me not want…

I started a GLP-1 in October. I've been eating healthy and exercising for a decade, but I was still in the obese category and blood sugar tests indicated I was at the edge of pre-d…

I've been playing classical guitar for a bit. A teacher who specializes in that style is your best option, but teacher quality can vary quite drastically and can be hard to manage …

The ability to load up an on call schedule would be handy.

The mode where it sits on a monitor and displays a status ("on call") is very interesting. I think that could be simplified into a product unto itself -- but it would need to price…

Give me text boxes and arrow connects and I'll be happy to use this for system diagrams.

I still use my HP-32sii [and more recently, the remake, the HP-35] for dev work. I use it mostly for calculations involving hexadecimal values when I'm in a debugging session.

This article discusses end user applications, but nothing regarding the classroom experience. (E.g., how does the teacher monitor individual screens to ensure they're staying on ta…

There was a recent publishing of Lem's lesser known short stories that is excellent: "The Truth and Other Stories" https://www.amazon.com/Truth-Other-Stories-Stanislaw-Lem/dp/...

There is a translation of Solaris by Bill Johnston that is available as a Kindle e-book that is a direct translation from Polish. IIRC, there are licensing issues with providing a …

I used the stock charging cable which is USB A -> micro-USB. That either connected to a laptop with a USB-A or through the apple dongle.

The QC-35 II's were great for concalls. You can connect multiple devices at once via bluetooth and the mic quality was quite good. For music, I agree there's lots of better options…
