    Will Fed Lower Interest Rates Jan 2020?

    To the extent that we have economic issues, interest rates aren’t the problem. IMHO, of course...

    RIP Kobe Bryant

    I’m fairly satisfied that Kobe did a lot of good, even as I don’t discount probable bad behavior. At least let the poor guy’s body get cold... As for his “faith”, as portrayed in the above posted news article, if I had a sawbuck for everyone caught with their hand in the cookie jar, but have...

    Sous Vide anyone?

    There appears to be some questioning of even non-BPA plastics, based of search results, as with most things internet. N=1, my only adventure in sous vide was a medium rare steak, at about 130F, no hotter than your car out in the Texas sun. [emoji12] I’ve microwaved leftovers in plastic so many...

    Don’t know so much about mind changing, unless you count the additional knowledge and perspective gained from participating.

    Hallucinogens and addiction treatment

    Unfortunately, it also sometimes creates morons... Although alcohol is probably better at that.

    What to expect in 2025 when tax law expires ?

    Whoever is elected in 2024 will get blamed for taxes reverting to previous levels, while being faced with enormous deficits? Just a guess... [emoji51]

    What is meant when people say an old person "becomes irrelevant"?

    Hallucinogens and addiction treatment

    I mostly did those things for the “harmful side effects”... [emoji41] I don’t really think we have a clue about the human brain. Anxiety, depression, mania, etc. are much more prevalent than one might imagine. We tend to think of “normal” and not, but there’s a very broad spectrum of how our...

    Sous Vide anyone?

    IMHO, the temps used for sous vide are likely too low for this to be an issue, but YMMV...

    Top 15 vehicles owned for 15+ years

    +1 I spent about 18 months at a parts supplier factory in the door/window frame department. After the final welding machine was a “gauge”, which one might assume was for QC, i.e. sample frequently to insure the product was in spec. What really happened was the line was run as fast as possible...

    Poll: Profession

    Engineering and IT light... Engineering tech, research associate, technical staff associate, wafer fab tech, and probably a few more bogus names I don’t recall, so basically a jack-of-all-trades while in research, a lot monkey when in “manufacturing”. But my favorite, adopted the last few...

    Best Texas Beach Towns

    But I digress... Was doing a day trip from Portland, through Tillamook SP to the coast, then up the coast to Astoria, where I planned to cross into Washington state. Took one look at that bridge... Photo of bridge... https://images.app.goo.gl/owec8yEZUccdGMbN7

    Who do you pick to win Super Bowl 2020?

    Definitely a Brady bromance in the announcer’s booth... Hadn’t seen much of Mahomes, but he sure took over the game against the Titans. Looked nearly unstoppable, but that’s how I felt about Lamar Jackson and the Ravens going in to the playoffs.
