That’s gorgeous. How did you cut the grooves / notches? Table saw?

Steam / water doesn’t allow the temperature to get high enough.

I’m so glad society has teams allocated to identifying these hard-hitting issues. It’s true - we don’t have enough consumer protections in place for space tourists. A poor innocent space tourist could “go to space” without fully understanding that “space can be dangerous”. Thankfully, these analysts discovered this issue before too many people were “at risk”. Future space tourists will have to sign a waver, or watch a presentation, or something.

The interesting question here is who paid for this “study”, and who from the register accepted the bribes to get this dogshit published.

Thank you, that’s an excellent read! This reminds me of the “expected value of perfect information” - sometimes it is worthwhile to answer a question, and sometimes it isn’t. Every once in a while I find myself in an engineering call discussing a minor problem, and I run the numbers to see if the change we are discussing is even worth talking about. One time the combined salaries of the people on the call had already outpaced the cost savings of the change over the next 10 years. We quickly stopped that discussion lol

I love grammars. It’s like an API or a data schema, but for a language. This would be very cool and I would love to see it!

I recently picked up a pipe. It has all the rituals and escapism of a cigar, without the hour-long commitment.

That being said, sometimes being”occupied” for an hour is part of the appeal. Each has their place ime.

But then arr.length == the last index, and that’s just too convenient :(

The good old days. We ate berries in the woods; enjoyed the company of whomever we pleased; and worshipped the moon simply because it was cool.

Then we invented turbotax and multi-factor authentication :(

Is American Pragmatism a thing? If you explain it to me, will I feel better about myself?
