5th woman ever to win Nobel for physics

This is the way.

I just saw mangosteen in Chinatown Manhattan… First time seeing them in the us!!

Seattle year round commuter. For my current short commute: a rain cape (poncho).

• it’s comfortable to wear both wet and dry
• easy on/easy off. Less fucking around trying to get geared up.
• I don’t sweat through my clothes because it ventilates like crazy

So many more reasons, but good lord those 3 are reason enough. Putting on still-wet gear at the end of the day is nasty.

I also wear rain-legs. I wear wool socks and sneakers (1 less piece of wet gear to deal with). No gloves (cape deals with the rain and wind).

Good questions. I own priorities, my team owns operation. Fixing this is on our list of priorities, not high enough to get the amount of attention needed to really fix it.

We have 3 (three. Three!!) redundant monitoring and alerting systems and have yet to detect the issues routinely found by our customers. Its not because we didn’t detect them, it’s because we have so many false positives we stopped looking (but still run the monitors).

Uuuuuugffhhhhhj

Park tool has good, informative videos: park tool

Saint Sheldon Brown is one of the best, original sources for internet cycling knowledge.

Tentatively raises hand…

Yes, several times. Surprisingly: my shortest surgery (10 min to remove a device) resulted in about 10 days of serious depression. A shrink says this happens about 10 percent of the time. I wish I’d known this in advance, I’d have opted out. I will be more cautious in the future.

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 just sent a friend this very question. Tusks for the good suggestions! Moved to Open board + swipe and it sends great.

This is great! By far the best for swipe type.

Cold fusion.

I just finished ‘Player of Games’ - Ian M. Banks. I liked it, it felt immersive.

Just started The Passenger by the late great Cormac McCarthy. I’m about a 3rd through, listening on audio book via Libby (read at 85% speed). It’s a little hard not to put it in the context of No Country and the border trilogy - Mr. M does seem to have a type. I’m pleased that many of McCarthy’s liberties with words seem to come through on audio, but I imagine I’m missing a lot. All in all I’m enjoying it. Next up my book club is reading All The Pretty Horses, so I’m in for the ride as it were. (Weirdly, there was a longer wait for his other work than The Passenger. I guess people are in the wait and see mode).

A friend recommended Midlife by Kieran Setiya. I have to say - it’s quite dense, and I feel like I’m not doing it justice. I’ll definitely keep going.

That seemed plausible to me. But if so they’ve scrubbed it pretty well from the internet.

What can I say? A man of simple tastes.

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.
