The case for cheaper — and worse — clothes (at least for guys)

Motivation must be tempered with enough self-doubt, lest it turn into recklessness. Many scams rely on stoking your motivation and adopt a "no doubt" attitude (i.e. ignore any sort of doubt, even due diligence). Sometimes they can take form of the "neg", i.e. insult you, which is basically using that self-doubt to…

I've been hustled like this... One of my buses had a minivan pulled up behind him while he's backing into a space and the minivan claimed there was a collision. I know there wasn't, but there's no rear camera (there is a FRONT camera). And there's an alleged "witness". I forked over some cash and had other party…

So what would be fast enough? Do we go USB3? (Which most Steambox will do) or do we go search for eSATA in the form of flash drives / SSDs? Those cost even more than MicroSD cards. Heck, I did suggest a RAM drive given price of RAM nowadays :) SD cards just need to store the initial load (blockcopy to RAM drive at…

The saddest part is he died thirsty and hungry. They basically claimed that food and water will do him more harm than good at the end, and they (daughter?) had to convince a judge to allow this to happen.

Given how cheap RAM is now, I can imagine some sort of a built-in DRAM for a RAM drive. (Imagine an SODIMM slot!) You just have to suffer through the initial block copy to RAM drive process.

Are we talking class 10, or that new U3, which claims to be 3 times faster than class 10?

I can see the thing big enough to have space to plug one or more USB3 flash drives. :)

On the other hand, if they take microSD cards, we'll just have to... swap! :D

No surprise really. All the maintainence is done at night and there's a slow period between redeye time (midnight) to 6 AM for delays to "catch up" and becomes OBE (overtaken by events). The early flights are the first ones to leave the ground, i.e. 1st flight, not a "stop-over" by another flight due to turnaround,…

Interesting, does this also explain "groupie" behavior? Like groupies just want to bask in the glory of the celebrity because being close to a celebrity is almost as good as being a celebrity? Or being close to a rich guy/gal is almost as good as being rich?

Sure, here's a translation

Wait, hypothetical situation... Say a rapist rapes a woman, she got pregnant (but she doesn't know it yet). Then in attempt to prevent her from testifying, he tried to kill her, but put her into a braindead/coma instead. It was only then discovered that she's pregnant. So she had to "live" until she delivers?

No love any more for FlexT9, eh?

If you are a two-thumb typist who relies on autocorrect then Minuum is your keyboard.

It's the proportions that make them look bigger than they are. The low stance and the small cockpit make the car look wider because we're used to looking at racers and uberexotics that are wide.

Hey Doc, are blank business cards or short intro cards (business card sized) too old fashioned, or still cool, for handing out numbers... or for getting one or two? Could be interesting if it has a fancy QR code in the back if they're into Geekdom. ;)

The RR3 cars are too fast.

Any one ever played "Steambirds"? :) (Android and iOS, and Flash games)

Hehe, I can use some of those tips in RR3.
