Well there used to be fuckedcompany.com that served a similar purpose. Of course it was litigated into history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucked_Company

I never had good vibes with an employer sponsored plan. I had the same employer for eleven years in TX. Every year the insurer changed. Every year there was the paper work and trying to decipher what was included and what the copay might be

I’ve lived under several different healthcare systems around the world as an adult. Coming from my time America, nothing felt more like freedom to me than walking out of a hospital in London, with a new child, and having had no interaction

My high school science teacher(Brother Quinn in the 80s) always said it was possible, although rather expensive, now I know how much - thanks.

They did. I worked in a technical college in the 90s and Autodesk and others were huge fans of the single plugged into the serial port. Was a huge problem not only daisy chaining them all together but also they would get stolen if not secur

Oh man me too. First i recall dual flush in Australia in the 80s when I was a kid and it was a push down for full, pull up for half - labeled in English - now I have no idea! Now, I always resort to just push both buttons to be sure.

That is so cool. I often wonder if I’ve been on this aircraft before, wish I had that data!

Yeah always at the gate upon landing - sigh, I’d love to jump seat to satisfy my curiosity

This is great. On my « one day » build list. In a similar vein, my 5yr old son has a flight log book - I started it for him as a baby. Every flight he gives asks one of the crew if the captain wouldn’t mind completing it. It logs route, air

I love there is a slide for WIG - wing in ground effect

Yeah I could have, maybe should have, probably silly for not. Although I’ve done enough stupid stuff in my life to know where my line is and what is worth my time or not. This was definitely a no for me, report and move on.

I’ve had offers to remove a review. Bought a highly rated kettle that broke in a couple of weeks which I returned. Left a review saying such and started to receive offers to remove the review. Started at £20 and they kept coming even though

My mentor pointed out my defensive nature a long time ago and quizzed me on it. My response was that the product of my work was like a baby. Very quickly he replied « you’ve got an ugly baby - so what. Make sure it grows up beautifully » th

https://listentothe.cloud/ Is my favorite. There’s something really soothing about certain regional accents and the rhythm of their comms. I really liked Hong Kong but it always seems to be offline now.

I can't wait for the Hambini analysis of this one.

Thanks! I remember getting a copy in first year uni just before traveling home for break. Upon getting home I stayed up most of that first night playing just enthralled - something I’ve not done since. I don’t remember any bugs.

I’m pretty much with you and was exactly the same - until I got a Polestar. All the stuff I need is still an actual button - although not ac controls. Physical buttons for volume, front and rear demist, cruise, lights and wipers. So I only

Yeah exactly. I now live in very rural Australia - I'm over 100 miles from the nearest traffic light - and got a Polestar in June. Theres a rapid charger 10 miles away and whenever I'm there range anxiety is always the thing peopl

Rule of life: always ask. I’ve always said no is the second best answer and in most cases the sooner you get a definitive answer the better.

Ha me too! I couldn’t believe that burn and how long it lasted. I soaked my hands in milk as placebo one day. We had a kid just after making it and therefore loads of visitors for meals - everyone commented on how good it was and wanted som

A lightning bolt carries a current upwards of 100,000 amps, and has upwards of 10 billion joules of energy. How many gigawatts is that? I’ve a car I need to jump start.

I still convert {' '} to   every time I see it in the code base. A lot of fond memories from the 90s bubble. I love me some coldfusion and ftp and occasionally think how easier it was in some ways. I also like to say ther

I wonder how much was just being « used » to auto braking assistance and what felt right.

by oakmad 5y ago
Its unfortunate they don’t calculate how big a difference it made. They’d calculated a 170ft margin and stopped with 30ft margin and I’m curious what their braking delta was for that 700ft of deterioration. « With three FCPCs inoperative, a
