The hiker texted a photo. Even better, since he had a smartphone, he could text his GPS coordinates from an app like Gaia. Not sure if there's a way to get lat/long from Apple or Google Maps.

Oddly today there's an obsession with certain bitter substances like caffeine, dark chocolate, and IPA beers.

Keyboard layout doesn't matter for speed. Here's a guy typing 99 wpm with two fingers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mNu8WnFFa0 You switch to Dvorak for comfort, not speed.

Are you having a bad day or something?

Don't preschool and kindergarten teach vital social skills that can affect how you interact with others for the rest of your life?

What's a pendrive?

Scott's explanation at least makes sense with a causal chain of reasoning. "Self-awareness" is more a philosophical concept that has no psychiatric meaning, sort of like like "fairness" in economics. "It's all placebo here!" sounds lazy and like a cheap shot.

I thought this was going to be about gardening.

I'm guessing you haven't bought much makeup or women's underwear.

Colombia

Not possible.

I went on a date with a Mexican girl who spoke no English. Google translate app worked incredibly well for two-way translation. I mean it was perfect. She had been dependent on it her whole time in the US.

I want him to build one under my home. As long as he pays me.

Your email is not in your profile. I will bet.

I read that the world needs both types of economies. The US is a dynamic, freewheeling sort with the most extremes. You can get incredibly rich, but the bottom has no floor. It's easy to amass capital and to pay workers. Or have western Europe, which is a relatively painful climate for businesses. Taxation for extensive social services is stifling, but at least most of the middle people are OK.

A lot of the California ones are pretty decent. I dated a girl who lived in one. I also stayed in an Airbnb that was in one. The owner, who lived there, was a woman with a Stanford degree. They're cheap and reasonable places to live with a lot of stigma. The ones I saw around me growing up in Virginia were... shitty.

But what about choosing between hitting one doctor versus a group of school kids? /s

For perspective, 17,000 people work for NASA.

I am prepared.

Currency?

Also in auto repair. A shop told me they wanted to take a gasket from the engine, draw the part, then send it to a machine shop to have it fabricated.

It takes a lot of specialized aerosol science equipment and expertise to measure the percentage filtration, so it's questionable that they could claim to replace N95 filter with towels.

Do you think a supersonic, VTOL electric aircraft is theoretically feasible?

He became a landlord for Airbnb's. Good for him.

Comment is downvoted, but he has a point. We've been trying to return to the moon for over a decade: https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/moon-mars/a26962388/g...

George W Bush said we would return by 2020: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/solarsystem/bush_vision.html

There's nothing indicating that this initiative is any more serious. There isn't a space race, people don't care. If this were canceled in favor of any other program (say, relief for climate-related crises), there would be very little opposition.

So raise the price of the software so that you can afford more/better software engineers, to produce a more robust and flexible project. Then it'll be aerospace quality, aerospace costs.

You just don't need that in software when most of the industry is low consequence. It's only losing money at most tech companies, not killing your coworkers. This hasn't happened to me personally, but it's not cool when Rob the test pilot, whose family you've hung out with and that you've gone on hikes with, literally dies next day in a fiery crash. But that's the risk any test pilot accepts.

The most rugged handheld radio, for rock climbers, whitewater rafters, skiers: https://rockytalkie.com. Just no raspi. I just got a pair and they're incredibly well designed. The rubber case can be removed to make them even lighter. It comes with a full-strength rock climbing carabiner.

What drugs are best at extinguishing those negative priors? Vorinostat worked for me when a slew of antidepressants did not, but it's hard to find and can have side effects. It was really astounding. I just felt normal, unafraid, but not in a weird amped up way as with Adderall. I could just talk to people fluidly and think normally.

The thing is psy's generally aren't addictive so they're not that profitable. Marijuana and alcohol are way more habit-forming. People take LSD a few times, then it doesn't really work any more. Then there's the notion of you got the message/insights from the drug, time to hang up the phone.
