In 2012-2015 ish, I was building FPV quads, planes for universities. (I say quad because at the time we were staunch drones kill people….) I really don’t think you need ai for any …

I have fond memories of SCSI. I by chance had purchased a workstation, using almost all of the money I had saved at the time as a kid. While dated, and late in the SCSI days, the S…

Long time member / supporter / donator of Longwood Gardens here… it’s a wonderful place to visit if able - while their Christmas display is well known - I personally prefer spring …

Through my professional / personal network, I know someone who advertises himself as being a “Best Selling Amazon Author in XYZ category.” It is semi niche, but I did some ballpark…

I send and receive between work and personal probably 1,200-1,500 packages a year. I’ve stopped using UPS except when I absolutely have to. I would say 10-20% of UPS packages have …

The 5D mkii (or mkIV) are fantastic cameras - the Mkii when coupled with magic lantern is a fantastic camera still in my opinion. Glass is of course important, but I’ve taken nearl…

I started to write a stupid comment about how insanely fast the focus on the EOS R5 C is- only to remember it’s a non reflex ! The difference in focal time between my 5D mkii even …

I’ve self hosted a server for various things going back to somewhere around 2006/7? Whenever I finally had access to a non dial up connection. I’ve not always used it for anything …

Not the person you’re replying to but backing up what you’re saying - I read a lot of fiction for pleasure, I can say with some assurance whether I’ve read a certain fiction book, …

I also loved the number on the sign post from a while ago! This post made my night - something about it feels so fun and easy to relate to.

The type of wire I suggested is easily found in the U.S. (apologies for my bias there) as large as 6g. 10-12g would be in the right range I believe. The shielding might not be need…

Wouldn’t SOOW (or THHN/THWN-2 )in 14 or 16 gauge be appropriate for this?

There are different norms in the U.S. - where I am- generally 5 mph over the posted speed on side roads, and ~9 over on interstates / highways. You are very unlikely to get stopped…

Apologies - you’re correct. I should have been more specific in that I was referencing the scenario of: I’m car 2, waiting to pass car 1. (Who’s passing a car slowly ). I have safe…

I don’t think what you’re describing is quite the same thing. At least I hope not. More concrete example: He will be going 65 mph in slow lane. Come up on a car. (Left lane empty).…

Submitting nothing and missing a deadline is probably worse than submitting something. It’s great in the way of good to an extreme. I would say this trend started in 2019/2020 howe…

The fast lane isn’t always faster is very true! Haha What I will say is some of this may be the difference between manual driving - and automatic. If I’m manually driving - where m…

In the auto cruise example, it’s leaving perhaps 2 - 2.5 car distances. In close traffic the average human I would bet is leaving 1 or less then 1. The issue is not that I can’t re…

I do drive in the slow lane frequently - and this still occurs. (My go to is to set my cruise 6-9 mph over the speed limit, if passing to smoothly pass and get back over, and spend…

I wouldn’t relate this directly to cognitive performance. But my anecdotal experience working with younger employees / interns has been an uptick in situations where they become “p…

I would argue I can still say it /can/ cut off 50 minutes. If you do a comparison of a 600 mile trip at 60 vs 55 you’re pretty close. But yes, to be pedantic and more exact, you ar…

This is true - but it’s hard even for “good” drivers to always understand especially on roads they might not be familiar with. Example: open space on either side of the road, tends…

A cousin of mine is abysmal to drive with as a passenger. He follows too closely to the car in front of him, regardless of lane / speed. He will slow down, follow closely, and then…

I concur with you regarding gamification. When I am aware of the gamification it fills me with exhaustion to annoyance to extreme frustration. This is especially true of things tha…
