What determines whether the merger is non-radiative in the EM? Why was the collision of two neutron stars radiative? It seems like the universe would be immeasurably more dangerous than it already is, if all of these events were primarily E

I'm curious to see where this goes. In my personal experience, it is standard practice to need/be requested to submit designs for review by a PE, if you aren't one. I was originally trained as a materials engineer, and nearly

(native speaker) I agree. The original with "been being watched" feels like something the detective says when he first discovers the fact about watching. It has an exclamative aspect to it. There's a present sense of realizat

Kind of the opposite of your suggestion, but I have a long time friend who owns an audio / video production company. He has been using his box trucks to drive routes for Amazon this year (not last mile), as his core business is quite l

There is a Mahindra dealership in Cumming, GA (exurb north of Atlanta). I noticed it over Thanksgiving on a drive up to the mountains. I've eyed their jeep in the past. That said, lots of Kubota around these parts with KMA and KIE in t

Several practical steps: 1. Take a thinking styles test, like the HBDI ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herrmann_Brain_Dominance_Ins... ) People in executive roles frequently tend "Yellow / Blue" in their

I'm surprised that there's only around 150k people (other than me) who read the newsletter. I don't work in finance, always enjoy reading Matt, and often learn. To that end, if you don't subscribe to him and want a sampl

I washed dishes, by hand and with the industrial machines, for a couple of different sorority houses in college long ago. The machines worked well, but required supervisory maintenance like would be expected for most industrial equipment. T

I, too, am 95% better after switching away from first.last@gmail.com to something@firstlast.com and using g-suite on that domain for the last decade or so. I gave up on Gmail for all the same reasons as the stories in this thread.

The photos of that enigma are amazing! It looks like it was taken straight off the factory floor. "New Old Stock" indeed.

You can say thanks for the memories buy purchasing a copy of Reaper, and get a serviceable DAW in the process..

It is also the learning aspect for me. And doing projects for friends helps to force good design decisions, and to mind BOM cost. I ended up with "cervicogenic dizziness." I was forced onto team standing desk a couple years back.

FWIW, I would say that knowing how to design boards makes me MORE willing to buy other people's boards. Coming from a more mechanical background, I don't look forward to the tedium of reviewing and modifying all the footprints of

I originally learned electricity from Isaac Asimov's understanding physics, volume 2 when I was 13(?). I don't remember the details, but it clearly worked and helped me in all future education. If you want to try and learn some ba

Yes. Saturable core reactors have a long history of industrial regulation of heavy duty motors, furnaces, and the like. I first learned about them from old cranes in seaports. For some applications size and weight aren't a big deal, bu

Somewhat tongue in cheek, but you would do well to find a Maria Bartiromo for Cloudflare TV. A decade + ago, one of my closest friends was a day trader, and while inherently skeptical of CNBC, he and his cohort routinely tuned in to watch h

FYI, Kevin Kelly's "Cool Tools" is a solid, and useful coffee table book. Some things from 2013 don't age well, but for it is useful for lots of items. A quick skim of my copy didn't find the bug salt shotgun, but t
