he’s made the donor requirement but not the polling threshold for December’s debate. Castro has never been a polling star...

Wasn’t flying, but being bus’d to the terminal in Bangalore after getting off the plane. First the bus driver drove us straight into the path of a taxi’ing airplane. After narrowly avoiding that one, we were waiting in a line of buses at the terminal, on a slight uphill slope. When it came time to move, the bus driver…

Job hunting?

I got the second one cheap a few years back for PC, and when I tried it, I had massive difficulties with the controls and combat. I couldn’t keep all the options straight in my brain to really enjoy gameplay.

Yeah unfortunately those life estimates are done based on tests to measure lumen depreciation. The tests also test only the chip itself—not the housing, the electronics, or any other components. The life estimation test is also done with a continuous burn, but in real life, switching the lamps on and off results in…

LEDs are super directional; it’s the optics that are going to make the difference. You might be best exploring different sorts of optical configurations available in consumer lamps. Putting your lamp in a fixture that has diffusing optics will also help spread the beam. (Never put an LED lamp into a completely closed…

The low dimming capabilities are a tech thing. Most LEDs have a dimming curve where the LED just turns off around 10% power. Companies are thinking that most consumers aren’t going to need very low or precise dimming capabilities. LED fixtures for architecture, theatre, and entertainment usually have better quality…

Yo c-sections are hard to recover from! My mother wasn’t allowed to bend over or take stairs for weeks after I was born, and I imagine these restrictions plus the general recovery from surgery makes it so much harder to take care of an infant. Women who get c-sections need extra support, not more shame

Speaking as a beekeep up North, how would one tell the difference between a European swarm and an Africanized swarm? Feral Africanized colonies are a thing in warm parts of the US, are illegal to keep (which is a bummer bc if done right, they can be great bees), and look identical to European bees (a bit smaller).…

Any tips for people with RLS? I don’t want to drive my neighbors crazy by bouncing my legs, but long trips can get exceedingly uncomfortable.

Question—whatever happened to Brandon Porter (doc associated with NXIUM, conducted unapproved unethical “medical” studies on members)? He doesn’t seem to be tied up in this big trial at all, nor do I see his name mentioned in any of the articles. He shouldn’t be allowed to slip away, he’s just as guilty as the rest.

Just found out today that apparently I am weird. All because I soak my bread heels in balsamic vinegar and then slurp it down like an oyster.

Man I remember that! I think I had a free demo for PC or something...

GIVE MICHAEL HARRIOT A RAISE

I just keep thinking if he really /had/ to write stupid shit on a cookie, then why not just eat it before it goes to sale? 

When I was carrying mail in the NE, I’d frequently stick to the low gears like it was a stick shift.

As someone who loves being outside and loathes being cold, this seems like a dream come tru. Sit outside in cozy warmth, watch the sky and the birds, and get your daylight rations in the dark times of the year.

I--every time I’ve encountered metal shavings or thin metals strips like on these trees, I’ve come this close to just ripping my hands open. Are aluminum trees sharp?

Y’all got any intervention strategies for family members? Anyway to permanently shut the game down? Revoke access? Not gonna lie, I could use some advice for this

Look, The Foreigner is a great play. It’s also /so easy/ to add notes and warnings to a program or at the start of the show. Warning: This play includes depictions of the KKK and may not be suitable for young children.” Professional and amateur productions usually always have notes for sensitive content, tobacco use,…
