This looks awesome! Before the pandemic I’d take a 16 hour flight leaving at midnight to where my wife’s family lives in Asia. This takes flying closer to long trains and it could …

“results from a population-based sample of Norwegians followed for almost three decades, from adolescence into midlife (N = 2215).” Nice! Largish sample size and 3 decades of follo…

I wonder if the article itself was written by an AI. The style seemed strange to me.

+1, I enjoyed that talk. He showed a diagram of the Artemis mission plan and said, “Does this make sense!?” He also referred to a publication NASA created after Apollo titled “What…

From your link; “Near the solstice, one pole faces the Sun continuously and the other faces away, with only a narrow strip around the equator experiencing a rapid day–night cycle, …

Twain’s escape West is an entertaining memoir! He did a little bit of everything and accumulated some great (if a bit tall) tales. I remember it has the story of his first stand up…

I switched from spammy weather apps and other sites to just using the NOAA years ago! The maps are basic but show me what I need as well! My tax dollars at work! I’m very pleased.

With all the lawyers in this country you’d think one of them on the train would use their hours long delay to assemble a law suit against the freight rail companies. What an insult…

I'd love to hear some stories! People who failed, false positives, etc. I recently contributed to letting in a false positive into my org. Properly interviewing people is a skill I…

I’m reading this while vacationing in Barcelona. We’re staying in the city’s Gothic Quarter, which has this labyrinth of narrow medieval streets. This evening we realized that the …

I hated taking the SAT/ACT, but holy cow are we in the US in a better situation than Chinese students dealing with the Gaokao. A Chinese pen-pal once showed me some calculus proble…
