Yeah, I have a number of memories before I was 4 too, but they, like what everyone else is describing, are singular impactful moments that stuck with me. Nothing like the memories we typically recall later in life.

Looks like something a 9 year old would doodle in class.

When, 100 years after we formed the presidency? All of those, except Sweden and the Netherlands were full out Monarchies when the constitution was created. (Netherlands BECAME a monarchy about the time Norway became a constitutional Monarchy, in a union with Sweden.

Because this is not how management works anymore. The finance bros just look at a spreadsheet and make management decisions based off numbers. They don't have a drop of leadership in them. I have seen it repeatedly in O&G, and every fucking M&A. If there is an M&A agreement that they can't...

That people are still on Reddit/Facebook/Xitter, is one of the biggest problems. "But working with the alternatives is too much of a PITA, they don't have the content that I want, it's not a perfectly manicured user experience, etc." Well, neither did those sites, at the start, but I guess...

That people are even downvoting you is ridiculous. People are unable to believe that they are bad drivers. Along the same vein why Trump was elected... people would rather be lied to (or lie to themselves) than admit they are wrong.

People love to complain about their anecdotal, "I'm so much smarter than my dumb car's auto brake system." and fail to consider that no system is ever perfect and there are always scenarios that will trigger false positives. Maybe, just maybe the aggregate is still a net positive of saved...

Finance bros force the line to go up and think it can always go up. Until customers realize this is complete BS. Then companies go out of business and finance bros are at a loss as to what happened. "I don't know man, the market just fell out from under us." I was even willing to pay a...

I want to know who the construction company is and if SpaceX are internally PMing or if they are contracting out the work as EPC to another firm, and if so, who they are. Find all the parties to blame.

What is really appealing to me about redox flow over lead-acid and lithium, is its charge/discharge life and overall shelf life. You are looking at a battery that just needs mild upkeep every 10 years and last for 30, with very little loss of capacity. But I'm also expecting it to take up a...

Yeah, I'm an EE and I get the sense that anyone not in a very strict sense a "Math" person, i.e. a math major, or higher degree, falls into "mathnormie" here. Fourier is my hero too, but I was happy with Euler.

I really like my lane assist feature, in my Pilot. But I use it as a backup, not a primary system. I thought that was supposed to be the point, it helps me be a safer driver, by backing me up, not take driving responsibility away from me.

I didn't hate it. I thought a lot of the actors were really good and the sets were fantastic. The writing though... dear lord. They spend all this money, they can't get a writer who knows how to write a coherent story line? Yeah, there is science and "magic" but also real human interaction...

But Google search @#$%# sucks now. It is so over - SEO'd that it is more difficult to find what I am looking for.

I don't go there anymore anyway. So many of y'all hate what happened to reddit and twitter, but can't be bothered with helping the alternatives. Just stop using reddit and twitter. Sure it will suck for a while, but reddit wasn't built in a day either.

The construction costs of everything has doubled. It has nothing to do with the tech. The only reason wind and solar is relatively cheap is because of the massive subsidization that is being done. So, the return on investment is an easier sell, and a quicker turnaround. Those subsidies will...

Great, I didn't need them to do it anyway and they forced that app down our throats to begin with.

A study has already shown that it costs them less than $5 to make their $1000 monthly dosage. Don't you just love modern capitalism?

Meh, that same argument can be used against someone who got mugged. It's a slippery slope. While I agree there is some room for debate, it is hardly so clearcut as that.
