Why build pine wood derby cars? Why paint pictures? Or take photographs? Why memorize poetry? Why build things with Legos? Because it makes your brain think through problems, breaking them down to the point you can build a solution from the

The logo has a lambda in front, and I assume that's where the "Λ" came from in the title of the post. But I don't see it in any of the text on their site.

I bought 4 quite large heavy duty canvas bags in like 2005 and have been grocery shopping with them since then. I almost never buy more than will fit in those (actually, most trips I just take two of them).

I have had some success in just asking the spam callers to remove me from their list. I still get a fair number of calls, but they are mostly blocked by Google's filter (though they do get sent to voicemail, which results in lots of 4

Ah, so my constant interrupting myself is a sign of intelligence? That's great news. But seriously, trying to express the spider web of thoughts in my head as a linear string of words is really difficult for me and that doesn't ma

For me, tab location is spacial in my mind, and so many years of having them horizontal makes it hard to switch. Somewhere between 25 and 40 I start having trouble finding things at which point I just close them all and start over. I do use
