Our eyes have a "blind spot" where receptors are absent due to the optic nerve passing through the retina. We don't perceive it because the brain fills it in by interpolation. Add in all the downstream processing like object categorization and recognition and we really are experiencing reality...

Current timeframe has the north expansion to Lynnwood ready in 2024 and Eastside expansion.in 2025. There are more trees north of Seattle which would make for cooler housing but it's getting hot enough for some active cooling. We're looking at replacing our gas furnace with a heat pump.

I keep hearing about the end of Moore's Law but computers keep improving at an impressive clip.

Been running Arch Linux on my Lenovo Carbon X1 for a couple years now and all of those features work flawlessly.

I finally got around to watching this and it was wonderful. Funny, poignant and humane. I'm very much looking forward to a third season.

Whole Paycheck Plus!

You got this. Last few years you've refined a LBYM mentality that will serve you well when necessary in your retirement. Go do your thing!

Astoria is a super cute town. We stayed at the Cannery Pier Hotel. You can access the riverwalk for a stroll or hop on the trolley for further explorations. The Maritime Museum is fantastic. Astoria Column park provides great views and Oregon's beautiful beaches are a short drive south.

Aerides, do you remember the name of this restaurant? We're taking our first trip to Japan in a few weeks to celebrate our son's HS graduation.

I've been using a wobble board and it has been great for balance and integrating all of the little muscles that don't get enough work from a sedentary lifestyle. It's also vastly improved the ankle and calf inflexibility that's bothered me my whole life.

Elixir (and Erlang) have an elegant method for binary parsing via pattern matching. Once you get a handle on the syntax, it's a pleasure to use versus implementation in other languages.

Linux guy here and none of the tax prep software runs natively so I use a PDF editor and print and mail the return certified.

I contacted support hoping to get credit for another day but they declined. Turns out Alpental is always closed on Mondays, ugh! Apparently each area (Alpental, West, Central and East) has independent hours and it's on the ticket buyer to double check the area they desire is open when...

Y'all inspired me to buy an Alpental ticket last night for some fresh snow today. Alas, I found the mountain closed when I drove up this morning. Gotta remember to check status before getting in the car!

You can wave away each as opinion but you'd be on the wrong side of the evidence. If you don't believe the science, do you think the military or the insurance industry are engaging in fantasy with their climate assessment and mitigation of effects? If you discount them as woke then I don't...

Nice! I was not ready for college and bailed after a poor freshman year at a 4 year institution. Moved home and worked for a couple years taking some credits at the local CC before finishing my 4 year degree at an in-state college. I also had some great teachers and classes at CC and I was...

Agreed. The transition is multidimensional.

An educated perspective would acknowledge the cost of delaying the transition away from a greenhouse gas polluting economy of which the transportation sector plays a large role. The dollar figure is eye-watering not to mention the effects on bio-diversity, food/water security, extreme weather...

Some of the Earthship homes near Taos, NM use recycled bottles as a design element. Quite beautiful!

For grid storage and other fixed applications, redox flow batteries look very promising. Various chemistries are being evaluated.

Musk's twitter takeover has been a fascinating trainwreck so far. After waiving due diligence after his memey $54.20 bid he very publicly trashed the company via tweet to try and renege / lower the price. That went over like a lead balloon with the court in Delaware and he was forced to honor...
