I have had a beard for the last three years. My advice is enjoy it. Let it grow, trim it to suit your facial hair and face. It is difficult to replicate anyone elses beard, so you have to learn what works for you. Here are my notes on what I learned works for me: I shave my cheeks to an inch...

This is a pretty amazing step forward in robotics: Peano-HASEL actuators: Muscle-mimetic, electrohydraulic transducers that linearly contract on activation

WTF, why do you know that???!

It's crazy how much this reads like a movie intro:

I think that it is great that Bumblebee is getting a chance to go from dumpster bin to cool. I loved loads of the Decipticon toys as a kid, but really only loved two Autobots:

Solid list. I purchased the OXO 9-cup one on the recommendation of barristas at two different local artisal coffee roasters here and have been happy with it. It has the added bonus of having a brew timer feature, so that I can set it the night before to make coffee in the morning. I didn't...

Found this video and it needed a home here:

Happy New Year, everyone.

I watched the YouTube (Anti-Cheese) Edits of the prequels where JarJar was partly edited out, all aliens spoke gibberish and were subtitled, and they minimised emo Anakin. I came to have a fondness for those versions of the films. I am curious to see if the extended cut of TLJ plus some...

I worked at Amazon, as an executive, for a decade, but not in transportation or supply chain, and learned a ton. I can share some basics but I have to be careful about what I say. Here is public (ish) information: Amazon maintains real time inventory and supply chain planning. Packages can be...

My six year old daughter just saw it, said it was "OK". For reference, her favourite scenes in Star Wars are Anakin and (that nasty) Obi-Wan's fight at the end of RotS, and the Vader vs Luke scene in RotJ ending with the emporer being tossed. Her favourite character is Vader, and she thinks it...

Merry Christmas, everyone. Thank you all for helping make this a great year. EDIT: I am treating this as the Netmas 2018 thread, so spread some holiday cheer for likes.

So true to life SJW.

This is deliciously ironic: "Man with possible concussion confused about what happened". I laughed. Oh, and then I gave zero fucks about whether he did or did not have a concussion. And twice that number of fucks about the $100,000 fine that is an infinitesimal blip on the team finances.

This is a gas plant. (species: dictamnus alba)

You heard it here first: sperm are going to cure cancer. Hijacked sperm carry chemo drugs to cervical cancer cells

Here are my thoughts on the books: The author writes words well, but no one edit-checked the excess use of obscure words so it read like intellectual masturbation for the literate. It's like he did a word ranking on TF-IDF and set a goal to use 2-3 high ranking words per page. As a literate...

Here is a suggestion: bake a light chocolate cake (chocolate chiffon or Japanese cheesecake style), add a layer of whipped ganache (use 1.5:1 ratio then whip), cover that in cherry pie filling, and then break a baked pie crust over the top. If you remove the pie crust, substitute raspberries...
