There is a steel mill (recycling plant) in my town. They give tours every Friday. I have been 3 times, twice with teams of (software) engineers.

If you want to go see what engineering means when lives are on the line, tour a steel mill. Fucking amazing.

Getting doored while out riding, then falling into the road and getting run over by a garbage truck.

I ride my bike a lot. Somebody getting out of the back seat of a 4 door with out looking is a huge danger.

Once upon a time windows had absolute pathing. When you saved, it went in the directory you were in out where you told it.

Some time ago windows went to path relative to user. So now when you save to 'desktop' it could be one of several desktop folders. Windows tries to hide this by mapping 'desktop' to your user relative desktop, but it does this at the application level rather than in the base O/S. (Or, it does it on extended file system APIs). Some apps handle it, some apps don't. If you have multiple users on a PC, it's a mess.

The training program was 2x per week. For resistance training, they ran a set of machine based training, increasing resistance over time.

"3 sets of 10 repetitions as the main RT program on the following 6 weight-stack machines: leg curl, leg extension, arm curl, rowing, shoulder press, and chest press."

As an old dude, over been wondering what I can do to made my skin tougher.

I think Judaism is pretty interesting. No hell to speak of. Strong community focus. Traditions seem not-evil. Seems to foster a sense of curiosity and knowledge seeking. At least among those I know.

Check out this book: Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World — and Why Things Are Better Than You Think https://g.co/kgs/NrQSP4

You're not wrong - shit's fucked up. But that's not all - there is tremendous progress in the world, and significant change coming down the pike.

Why bother? Shape the change towards what's good, and be kind like the good dude above said.
