I buy vinyl because I like the tangibleness if the medium. Seeing the tracks on the record, the liner notes, lyric sheets, photos, etc. It's great when the artist really embraces the format and goes all out. My player is a low end un

As someone with colon cancer, I'd rather the complications than what I'm going through. 8" of colon removed, 6 weeks of recovery then 7 months of chemo treatments. If I could go back in time and get my colonoscopy at 35 inste

Had my first colonoscopy at 46. Found cancer, stage 2b. Resection and chemo. I was completely asymptomatic. I put a post on FB and I now know about a dozen people who that prompted to get their colonoscopy done. Get it done, the prep isn&#x

Meeting and talk to people is a learned behavior. It took me a while in my 20s to get comfortable talking to new people. I'm determined to not let my kids struggle with the isolation that can come with social anxiety. My wife and I are

Don't get me started on torso lengths! I'm 5'11 but wear a 30" inseam pants. My torso is long, so most shirts are too short for me. I'm not overweight, I'm 160 lbs, so finding a shirt that actually fits me is v

There should be an adult category. Lets get some genuine citizen science going. Let the kids see that science doesn't need to be confined to corporate or university labs.

Yeah, this doesn't look like AI generated. It was probably filmed on super 8 film stock. The clothing, hair cuts, manufacturing process all scream early 80s. I could see a cheap restoration introduction artifacts as a more likely reaso

Same. Small units if work, iterate in it till it's right, commit it, push it, then do the next increment of work. It's how I've always worked like that, except now, I sometimes let someone else figure the exact API calls (I

Aluminum oxide has high resistance and if you mix aluminum wiring with copper outlets, etc the impedance mismatched is what causes fires. You need to either have special copper pigtails installed or use fixtures that are rated for aluminum

Many employees are doing text work and, until recently, operating systems and apps did a really bad job of working with Hi DPI displays. Your best bet was to target around 115 DPI on a monitor for decent text rendering without having to dea

I think social norms in child rearing have changed drastically, though I think, at least in my neighborhood, they are swinging back. Growing up in the 80s, I remember having a lot of free time and autonomy. I had soccer or baseballaybe twic

We have a 3 way intersection with lights outside my kid's elementary school. 30 min before and after the school day begins and ends, there is no right on red. There is a sign that says "no right on red during x times". Ther

Salesforce core is Java. A smattering of other languages in the mix. I left Salesforce a year ago, their main developer productivity drains had nothing to do with the code base. It's their build process where it takes a minimum of a

There have been VR headsets since before there were PDAs. The first VR Headsets were made in the 80s by VPL ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPL_Research ). This no where near being a new idea, this is a forty year old

That was my first thought. Create an import or manufacturing entity. That entity then sells the product to the retail entity for a markup. It's the retail entity that has the relationship with Amazon and can then show the invoice fr

I guess it depends, but I know a few folks in their late forties with kids in college. They had them in their late twenties. I wouldn't call it rare.

So, it really doesn’t prevent phishing. If you can get someone to give you their password, you can probably get them to click approve. The real benefit is to the service provider, not having to worry about leaking a secret if they get com
