while they're at it, they need to reform the sliding emissions scales that make these monsters easier to build than reasonably sized vehicles like those from thirty years ago.

a long time ago I was talking with another engineer about our common experience with the same counselor at a university we both attended in the 1980's. He told her flat out that she would never be a good engineer because she was a woman. There are still a lot of those types in academia.

they do, for use in industrial systems. They have a lot less capacity than your standard model and they're pretty pricey.

Harris & Co. have figured out that they need the press less than the press needs them. After the way the media handled Biden just for the sake of a few extra clicks, I can see why.

The Altair I cut my teeth on had an 8080 that needed +5V, -5V and +12V. Add -12V for the RS-232 interface and you had the full complement. None of this woke 0.8V FPGA nonsense!

He likely asked his spin doctors to photoshop the images of his empty seats. Probably threw around terms like AI while the interns looked embarrased and shuffled their feet. Then immediately accused Harris of doing the very thing he demanded from his own people.

I went to an event once and found a pouch of dextrose tablets. I was in the vendor's area so I went around asking them if someone had come around looking for it. Sure enough a very relieved owner heard me asking and told me he had just about given up on finding it and was about to head home. It made my day!

I have suggested that to my company's HW types. The response has always been a shrug and words to the effect that there wasn't enough space. Even after they left disconnected one of the unused JTAG pins on a device that claimed it didn't need to be tied to anything. That resulted in several prototype boards rendered mostly useless.

I was one of the "Fat Men" on our track team, doing shot mostly. For me it was a fun way to spend time with my high school friends and go to the occasional track meet.

if you believe the bible is factual as these far right "Christians" claim, the Beatitudes were preached by Jesus himself. So why isn't there more emphasis on them vs. Moses' 10 commandments? I guess Jesus was too "woke" for their militant flavor of religion.

Supposedly pizza is a high profit margin commodity. I used to know a fellow who owned and ran several Italian restaurants in the D.C. metro area. I learned a lot about how difficult it is to make really good pizza at scale, and why so many restaurants try and fail at it. It truly is one of those things that is simple in concept, but incredibly complicated when it comes to the process of making something people will go out of their way to buy.
