Temple Grandin says this keeps the riders calmer.

It sounds like they mostly understand the dot patterns wherever they found them, with some caveats that are explained in the paper.


The golf animation is described as a problem, but I say it depicts what would actually happen.


No, people golfing aim at the ball, they adjust their swing based on which shoes they're wearing.


This guy is in contention for pope, and he's definitely got an edge in this contest.

At least he doesn't zing rats and cover for pedophile priests.

The real hack is to have two drills. Seems excessive but once you do it you'll never go back.


It's so nice to have a clutch setting on the driver, and the drill at full power. I hate having to rotate the collar back and forward and inevitably overdrive screws with the wrong setting.

Edit: or even clicking that switch back and forward.


I think there are “smart” drills that switch modes when you change from a drill bit to a driver bit (and vice versa). Still inconvenient for frequent usage though.


My smart drill loves to just gently screw in the screws until there’s some resistance and it suddenly ramps up and it hammers that screw through in a second haha.

Every time I try it, I disable it again. I must be using it wrong, or that thing is way too powerful for me.

It even managed to break the screw a few times.


The Milwaukee M18 drill/driver pair is perfect for this, and typically what I use. Keep the jobber bit in the drill and the put the screws in with the hex driver.


You can also attach them to each others bits and make them fight at the end of the job. Waste of money? Yes. A massive amount of fun for the boys? Absolutely.


"In conclusion, this study provides additional evidence that many prescription pharmaceuticals retain their full potency for decades beyond their manufacturer ascribed expiration dates. Given the potential cost savings, we suggest the current practices of drug expiration dating be reconsidered."


I don't have a ton of experience gluing PETG--the one I've used is "PETG Gloop", which I don't think he tested. I wonder if there's a close analog, or where it would fall in his rankings.

Big 1984 energy coming from this story.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”


Human society is collapsing.

The stuff playing out on right now was science fiction when 1984 was written.

This whole charade has had me laughing since yesterday.

The Caesars of Rome often played these public games to make themselves look magnanimous, while at the same time consolidating power and control.


Sadly, Orwell was not hugely imaginative, he was just aware of things that happened in the Soviet Union.


It's worth remembering that Orwell was a socialist, a leftist, and was anti authoritarian not anti communist. (Which isn't opposed to your comment, the Soviet Union was authoritarian.)

It just gets brought up so often that because he was anti Soviet, he must be anti communist, which wasn't the case.


He was always socialist, but ended up as anti-communist after the Spanish civil war, during which while fighting for the Marxist POUM he had to flee a Stalinist purge.

(Americans love to flatten all left parties into "communist", ignoring the rich history of ideological differences and occasionally violent purges)

Huge fan of Orwell myself.


Anti communist or anti Stalinist? Or even anti Marxist-Leninist?

Homage is a complicated book to place because it's been interpreted so baby different ways across eras. But it's hard to imagine someone going and fighting for POUM and praising them post facto would ultimately be anti communist across all flavors of communism.


See: his memoir "Homage to Catalonia," wherein he worked with the Communist Party of Great Britain to get him into Spain during the Spanish Civil War, where he fought with the POUM, a Spanish anti-Stalinist communist party (though he would admit that this was mostly by chance, and he himself was more aligned with the anarchists).

He would say later, "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it." (https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwel...)


So human society has been collapsing since Roman times?


That's a particularly uncharitable take.

If we assume good intent, what OP was getting at is that we had that form of governance, it failed, we then slowly marched towards democracy, and now it looks like a backslide.


Many certainly collapsed, Romans including.


Distractions as usual for the minions.


The Eaton fire is currently destroying Altadena in what I would call regular neighborhoods on regular streets. On a good day, it's like 20 minutes from Downtown LA. It's hard to fathom. https://www.reddit.com/r/pasadena/comments/1hwv3od/much_of_a...
