I actually didn't blame you for your situation. I pointed out that I find it gross to prioritize federal spending for your vacation home over victims of war. Also, ordinary Americans certainly don't have vacation homes.

Honestly, I'm having a hard time digesting your attitude that federal taxes should be allocated to your vacation home in a fire-prone region, than supporting the victims of an unjust war.

That's judgemental. Collaboration couldn't have hurt.

The most important thing I learned from my graduate advisor: anyone can have a worthwhile idea. I watched him for years coming into weekly colloquia and seeming to tune out reading papers. But, occasionally there would be a speaker that was

You're ignoring that most "new" language problems have significant overlap with things already experienced, and there's only a minor translation issue, rather than a learning new things from scratch issue.

Why didn't you help your teammate? A PhD doesn't mean that a person knows everything . It means they made progress in understanding in a narrow area. Might not have included Python.

I'm the same - it's very easy for me to ramp up miles and pace in endurance sports, but I've never been able to do a pull up. I do notice I weigh 25-30 pounds less than my friends that are same height and waist size. I'm

Your point would not be weakened if you left ethnicity out of it, but risks coming across as un-credible and conspiracy driven with the addition. I'd recommend an edit.

I'm in the process of updating my home including whole house sealing. Part of it is an air exchange system that brings in outside air and matches that air to the interior temp and humidity before circulating.

The joke is that anything medical you search for online you'll end up having your greatest fears validated, rather than get helpful and balanced insight. Or rather, all online diagnoses are cancer.

I want to thank you for posting this. I was not aware of the Merck Manuals, and have often struggled to identify useful information on WebMD or Mayo Clinic sites. Today my wife had a specific medical concern that we wanted supplementary inf

In the couple minutes I watched I was surprised that almost every edit I saw was either a sporting event or popular media (bands, albums, celebrities). I would have expected more diversity in changes especially considering that current stat

There's a standup bit, I don't remember who the comic is, where he says, "my elbow was kinda sore after I was playing a bunch of tennis. I looked it up on the internet and oh no! It turns out I have elbow cancer!"

I don't see that insinuation in this thread. Your comments are legitimate from the perspective of a reader that doesn't want long tangents and asides, but your attacks on the book itself are hyperbolic - "Cryptonomicon is in

by Cd00d 4y ago
Okay, you didn't like Cryptonomicon. Maybe you don't like longer books, which is fine. Personally, it's my favorite book of all time. I'm not a Sci Fi snob and rarely read the genre, so I'm not sure what the signali

I was once put in the position of co-managing a single report. Two managers, one of them a first time manager, and a senior report - it was one of the hardest management experiences I've had. I was far easier to manage two parallel tea

Those are LATCH - it really shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

I do it frequently. Maybe the first time ever, with safety anxiety it could take half an hour, but also any police or fire department will just do it for you. "permissible lateral movement specs"? What manual are you reading?

I haven't missed the point. NEW car prices may have grown faster than income, BUT cars last far longer, so there's more market availability at the lower price point. There are more used cars that are reliable for sale. Covid has u

The reason the average age goes up is because it's far easier to maintain a car well past 100k miles now than it ever has been before. https://www.caranddriver.com/research/a32758625/how-many-mil...

It takes minutes to transfer a car seat. LATCH especially makes it incredibly easy.
25.
by Cd00d 4y ago
I don't agree with this argument. Yes, because of safety mandates the price of a new car has gone up. I bought a brand new base model Toyota for $11k in 2001, and the cheapest brand new cars now are closer to $20k. BUT, cars now also l

Sure, but what percentage of all the books being read in the world right now are calculus books? Or math textbooks? Or textbooks in general? I think you're bringing up an edge case. Fiction and non-fiction books tend to be meant to be

When I was a Boy Scout we would compete on knot tying speed. My favorite was two people take opposite ends of a rope and tie a bowline around your waist. The first one done would then run, and try to capture their opponent's wrist in t

Ferrari owner. Willing to risk destroying the car to save hundreds of dollars. I don't get it. Those two things seem incompatible to me. Ferrari isn't about frugality, and cost of ownership necessarily means hundreds of dollars is

I saw a woodworker on TikTok say he intentionally does something in every video that is against standard practice and appears unsafe, because that drives comments which then drive his revenue.

Honestly, I trust you're being sincere, but this reads like anti-EV FUD.
