People here also don't understand machine shops. My dad ran a job shop focused on small jobs and the economics are different. A lot of his work was keeping other local shops / industrial equipment up and running. So there is a lot

I've eaten at Dave's and also gather and eat morel's regularly in Montana. Dave's is a popular joint but didn't strike me as particularly good even by Sushi restaurants in Montana standards. They had some creative r

The g7 is definitely a bit better on all counts except maybe bluetooth reliability. I use them with [open source closed loop]( https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/ ) insulin pump software and it is pretty great. Still a l

I rode mountain and road/commuters with rim brakes for years and I would give up gears and suspension before disc brakes and dropper seat posts.

I actually find hydraulic brakes much easier to maintain. They self adjust to account for wear and don’t suffer from cable stretch so I rarely need to adjust them. They need a bleed maybe once every few years but that is actually dead simpl

The outdoor industry as a whole had a covid boom and upped production/orders. Now it seems a lot of those sales were in a way borrowed from the future and they have a ton of inventory and lagging sales.

I implemented something like this in a [pre xgboost boosting framework]( https://github.com/ryanbressler/CloudForest ) ~10 years ago and it worked well. It isn't even that much of a speed hit using the classical sor

I've got a ~10 year old implementation that does something similar calling it "three way splitting" here: https://github.com/ryanbressler/CloudForest And i got the idea from a lab mate, Timo Erkkila&#x27

Is anyone seriously proposing removing dams on the Colombia or Snake? Or really any dam used for irrigation? Most of the removals seem to be on very small scale hydro projects on coastal river that produce very little power, aren’t used for

Does anyone make a quality standalone pps with a heat recovery ventilator? I’d buy one I could retrofit in without existing ducting in a second.

Gpus were built for dense math and they ran with it. To the point current best architectures are in part just the ones that run best using the subset of linear algebra gpus are really good at. There has been a lot of work on sparsity and di

My step mom did this in the 70s or 80s. She said it was the first time she heard primal screams and that you could just pick up high end outdoor gear along the trail as people would discard it to save weight.

There are tons of successful long term non religious cooperative living arrangements of various sorts but yeah most not fully isolated substance farming because that is hard. Amish communities also aren't self sufficient though. They&#

Propane is a bit more expensive then traditional electric heat depending on the year. It used to be much cheaper so a lot of old houses that aren't near a natural gas line were built with propane heat. You might save $200-1000 a year b

It’s not bad where I am now in rural Montana but where I grew up near Seattle the power was off for a week plus most winters. Lots of above ground power lines in heavily forested suburban sprawl means lots of branches in lines every wind st

It needs good air flow to work well and the noise is only really a problem inside the house in the room next to it. I may put some sound insulation on the wall at some point.

We are running a large single head Mitsubishi ductless h2i in Montana. It easily provides most of our heating needs down to about -5F and some heat down to -15F, we have our old propane boiler / in floor system that kicks on when its r

Not super common but its reasonably frequent for someone to go to industry for 2-3 years and then go for a masters/phd. Those candidates tend to be great as they are up on industry practices/technology like source control and data

A standard heat pump water heater does that but will only provide a couple degrees of cooling to meet standard domestic hot water needs. You can also get pool heater heads for heat pumps/ac units though last time I looked not all were

No one is talking about farmers at all. Farmers grow crops intensively on their own land. Ranching is a very different activity which in the west usually involves a cheap grazing lease on thousands of acres of public land... it is the gover

Welfare ranchers are ranchers who rely on cheap/subsidized grazing leases on federal land. It includes a shocking number of billionaires making big money off public land.
