Also probably fair to include burnout, chronic-fatigue/post-viral/long-covid, moderate to clinical depression, anhedonia, cardiac problems, auto immune diseases. Tired and fatigued are also super different. Sleepy vs tired, wire

I disagree with this. An entire business day is a long time to do nothing. I've always loved jobs where there was enough strategic direction to know what to focus on but enough latitude where you could actually do it. I can't t

Just because covid turned out to be a global disaster doesn't mean everything will be. There were multiple SARS outbreaks in the ever so pleasant 2000's. Oh Ebola might have gone airborne in the 90's and has made some cameo

I thank them for keeping my kids safe, but I do blame them for making traffic a bit too heavy.

Setting aside the normal disgust I have for this process, I did some googling to make sure there wasn't some important reason why this isn't a repulsive process. "the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984.[14] This law perm

Same. Started in early 2004 and never let up. I had been in Toronto quite a bit in 2003 and coincidentally there was a SARs event that broke out in Toronto that year. I was sick several times but at some point a switch flicked and I neve

You might be a bit arrogant, or driven, or passionate. You are surrounded by people that might be lazy, less intelligent, or less capable. Odds are that you are enthusiastic to embark on your new career and you haven't been exposed to

Some people have genetics that make mu and delta opiate receptors respond to alcohol in an unfortunate way. Easy fix, just don't be born as one of those people /s.

If they haven't found anything better than turbine engines and jet fuel there is no way.

Wow the Cirrus is looking pretty good for how much damage it did to the Metro. Flight surfaces are still there and it's only broken in half of the parachute landing. Guessing it might not have been controllable after the collision.

Ahh boy that title. Clicking on the link to probably realize that this is totally harmless and my initial reaction is due to how much I've been stuck inside for a year.

I wouldn't be too cocky if you're healthy. I got hit with a nasty flu in the early 2000's and never recovered. It was like someone flicked a switch and I went from young perfectly healthy to a low grade off an on flu since

It is an equity exchange where investors, tax payers, the Federal government, and the fixed income market subsidize stock buy backs and executive bonuses. I'm joking but it is alarming how many resources we seem to be sacrificing for a

I agree with you, but would like one counterpoint. There are plenty of planes that are aerodynamically unstable and require fly by wire/computers for satisfactory flight characteristics. Fighters like relaxed aerodynamic roll stabilit

There is a good book called The Victorian Internet that covers the development of long distance communication up to the electric telegraph. People did all the same stuff with it. Front running trades and horse races, hooking up with other

Anyone care to guess what the ratio is between trans people that are offended by the pronoun issue vs liberal college kids that are offended on behalf of the trans community? Yes I realize that saying this on hacker news or reddit is ground

No one actually cares, but a small minority will throw a temper tantrum for political leverage. Google doesn't actually care either. I hate call it virtue signaling but that's totally what it is even though that term is completel

I was using this particular case as an example of why those of us in the U.S should be grateful for the First Amendment. You understood that from the beginning but it rubbed you the wrong way for some reason. Let me guess, you think that o

I get the impression that you are asking that not because you don't know the answer, but because this is a politically motivated topic for you and you don't like the implication.

Well not to worry. There are plenty of Americans that openly advocate to make offensive speech illegal. THEN it will be time to live in fear of the state because a cartoon could have resulted in some prison time.

This was a barrier for me as well. There are options. I have a 65 foot wire that goes from my house to a tree. It's virtually invisible. I've had many people in my yard an nobody has ever noticed it. I've worked pretty m

Sorry to be that guy but it is for good reason. Don't learn Morse Code visually. The time it takes to convert an audible signal into a visual representation is simply too long to be able to decode a real Morse Code signal. I learned

In hundreds of contacts on CW I've never once talked politics with anyone. I understand that isn't your question but the bandwidth is too low to waste on useless garbage. That and CW operators are a tighter community so an oppos
