At least in Texas, I've seen this go both ways in practice. There is definitely some 'give something to get something' action that helps grease the wheels early on in the permitting or development process. Years later, Some d

HuFlixPrime was my portmanteau of choice in 2010-ish but mainly because I felt the coming dawn of cable company style pricing encroaching; more and more folks adding multiple streaming services to get close to what cable packages could offe

yes, and that looks pretty much just like some of the vans I've been in the back of for CCTV sewer inspections.

Megalopolis. I didn't love everything about the movie, but it did come across to me as completely divorced from art created to benefit commerce. I loved that about it... You could argue the movie being made outside of the traditional s

I’m not a PE (or EIT). I run my firm’s construction services department. I have a Bachelor of Music degree, so without an ABET degree, not much hope for me ;) I’m engineering adjacent, and really enjoy the field based problem solving and br

Another moto / cycle rider here. Recent phenomenon that makes me weep for road going competency: Phone or tablet on a suction cup mount playing YouTube, Netflix, whatever. Preferably at night with the screen 4" from your face to r

not a PHEV, but I've been incredibly happy with the 2023 F-150 Powerboost. It's a Mild hybrid system, with great towing capacity, power & torque. Does not sound quite as "stout" as the Dodge, but like you I have my r

Other than waiting to see where things shake out with the Senate, perhaps Sony? I can't speak to manufacturer support, and not sure Sony will stay in the drone game in the long term where it would feel like a sound investment. I'v

The problem from my perspective, running a small DJI fleet in Civil Engineering, is that there are few comparative turnkey options from non-disapproved drone brands that actually compete with what I'm using now. The ones that could, ar

As A renter, I wish more people thought like this. It is 100% the impediment for me going EV on my next vehicle purchase. I don't see apartment complexes like mine (built ca. 2000) retrofitting parking stalls for any level of charging

Incorrect. I rent in Austin. I think about 50% of the population here rents. I'm sure some newly built multi family mid & high-rises have EV charging infrastructure, and some single family home rentals as well. During recent lease

oh heck yeah! This flew under my radar. Excited to check this out, thanks for sharing.

taking the coattails of your comment with great artists to throw out The Bad Plus. Fantastic body of work, highly creative and absolutely rocking jazz band. Granted, I'm most familiar with their Ethan Iverson discography. Dave King (dr

Thank you for remembering the other 2 Rs! I just had a conversation with someone last week where I brought up the two prior to Recycle, and they had completely forgotten. Even the ubiquitous 3 Rs logo with arrows has now become shorthand fo

Being in the civil engineering / construction world - no, 5 years tops for "constructing pretty much anything" is not realistic. If 5 years is the horizon, I'd expect to be seeing pretty advanced proofs of concept right

I just checked my company's account. Third Party AI-Integrations were defaulted to "On" despite our company having a paid personal account. My free personal account (still for work) does not have any active third party integr

Reminded me of a fun bit of my own trivia! My Highschool guidance counselor, also an acoustic bass player in the folk idiom, babysat Bela Fleck as a youngster! She was instrumental (ha) in fostering my drive to set my sights on Music School

I think this really depends on the mirrors tbh. I run a small fleet of three work trucks. 2010 Ford Ranger, 2020 F-250, 2022 F-150. Out of any of them the F-250 is the easiest to park, all due to the towing mirror/ low convex tear drop

If anyone wants to dig further, Poisoner In Chief by Stephen Kinzer is a "fun" read about Sidney Gottlieb and these programs.

Seeing the writing on the wall that we could be headed back to the cable TV era, I had a hairbrained idea (haha- really just a name) back in like 2011/12, that would aggregate the three big streaming platform's libraries in a sing

re: motorcycle gear: Rev'it has some pretty neutral branded options, but not inexpensive... I've had good luck with the quality and fit.

Maybe they look like bikes circa 1950, but new standard bikes that look the part certainly do not ride like bikes from the 50's. Reliability across the board is dramatically better. ABS / associated rider aids, better tires (not j

I came across the link below describing his feedback techniques with his microphone. Like it or leave it - major kudos to him building an entirely bespoke instrument ecosystem. http://www.jaysmuseum.com/freako%20insrto%20pag

Still wrapping my head around this as as a bass player... His cover of We Can Work It Out blew me away. Highly enjoyably to watch and listen.

You and many others seem to be hell bent on the lycra/ spandex outfits. I really don't get it... What's with this? Consider that wearing tight fitting sports attire makes most of your body's surface area into a highly ef

In my experience yes - At an earlier role, all employees were subjected to a DISC assessment at hire. This was at the headquarter office of a large real estate franchise. Results were kept in your file, and were a big component during revie

Not original commenter, but I think metrics of douchery probably vary person to person. Personally, the number of pithy vanity plates specific to the vehicle's energy source is what does it for me. I think it speaks more to the occupan
