No, I didn't say any of that. I would like people to be straight with me. I try to be straight with them. Golden Rule and all of that, right?

I'll share my reason. It's phony as hell. If someone is legitimately angry or disappointed with my performance, just say it. Don't construct a "compliment sandwich" and patronize me with that.

I used to use water all the time to slide earplugs in, and never had any issues with ear infections. But I always had a nagging voice inside my head telling me it wasn’t a good idea. Did I get lucky? Or maybe I’m just less susceptible to in

Oh man, Flitetest. About 10 years ago I got really into building those planes. Never bought any kits, just used their free plans to cut my own foam boards. I did buy some components from them; usually a bulkhead or landing gear setup. My fa

One thing that spins my head around is the sheer number of different units related to radiation and radioactivity. I can't keep the damn things straight. Millisieverts and becquerels and curies. Rads, rems, grays. Roentgens! (NG,NT) Wh

Eh. On one hand, I guess it's no problem at all. But on the other hand...

I can count on one hand the number of ways these photos fail. That's right, 6 ways.

Display ads. No tracking, no JavaScript, no analytics. Ad-supported media existed before the Internet. They would target based on content rather than reader. That would be fine.

My complaint is that I can't reorder the items so that an older clip is back "on deck" for a vanilla CTRL+V. Some programs (gVim) don't take too kindly to WIN+V.

1. Makes sense. I have no idea how you can communicate that intrinsically in the data. Your explanation here would make a good landing page copy. 2. I was looking at this page ( https://www.points411.com/p/chase-ultimate

Bookmarked. This is information dense and useful! Some notes: 1. The exchange rates are confusing to me. For example, on the page for Chase Ultimate Rewards, I see things like Exchange Rate (USD) 2.00¢ : 1.20¢ How am I suppo

Use WIN+V instead of CTRL+V to get a clipboard history pop-up in Windows 10. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/clipboard-in-win...

"I convinced Timmy to set off that stink bomb" is shorthand for "I convinced Timmy that it was a good idea to set off that stink bomb". It works okay.

I felt slighted once when a former CEO of mine didn't lambast me on our weekly call. I took it to mean that I wasn't important enough to get the dressing down he was known for. (I mean, I was still relieved to avoid it! Just tho

But that makes it too easy to lie, omit, and equivocate. If the LLM is trained on all of their public statements over the last X years, and any official documents authored by them, then— theoretically! —you get something that's harde

You’re not alone. MLB has adopted a bunch of new rules in order to both speed up the game and generate more plays. They see the problem as well. Pitch clock, pick-off attempt limit, the shift being reined in a bit. The bases are slightly la

No that would be more complex. You’d have to add a relay and something to control it. Much easier to just map 80% to “100%” on the display and in the BMS.

Yeah, stupidest hot-take I ever saw in this case. No politician will stick their neck out for someone based on past donations if: 1. There is little hope for future money 2. The donor is universally reviled If anything, that donation histor

Never? What then does the word “right” mean in this sentence? I thought by definition, if you have the right to do something, the authorities cannot punish you for exercising that right. No, what’s happening here is that SBF is in pretrial

The balance point would rarely also be on the north-south, east-west intersection. The only time that would happen is if the distance of each person was also equal on either side of your meridian and your latitude. In reality, the clumpines

Same here. We were too smart to try such an impossible thing. He naïvely thought he could “just build a piano” and… well dammit he did!

It’s like halfway between a true contranym and just a change of the verb’s object. Like, you could say that Victor Ninov fabricated Element 118 in 1999, and also say that Element 118 was fabricated by scientists in 2002. Both true statement

One that got me recently was “resign”. I don’t know if it’s an American/UK thing or what, but I read a headline that said “Footballer Resigns” and it was about the player extending his contract, not quitting his job. I would personally

Oh man, “fabrication” isn’t a word I’d use :) I had to reread that a couple times before I realized you meant “make” and not “fake” (…right?)

I'm done with Hanlon and his Razor. It's useless. I now use Hanlon's Shaving Brush. Its a broad brush that I use to paint every sketchy move businesses make. "Is it malice? Or is it incompetence that merely looks like
