Jones would have been the hands down GOAT if he weren't such a fuckwit.

Before we started dating, I'd known my now wife for a couple years and was interested in her. I knew I had an opening when she said that her ideal living situation with her long-distance boyfriend of several years was to have side by side townhouses. Some fast talking later, she breaks up with...

Now they have! (Or at least we have a narrowed bracket of expectations.)

A jointer (note the "t" if you're googling) is a machine for making one surface of a board flat, and for making adjacent faces perpendicular. This is subtly but importantly different from a planer, which makes opposite faces parallel at a given thickness. You need both (or the skill to...

I'm game. Here's my last completed project:

That's the issue, 100%. I was the same way. My second grade teacher suggested to my parents that I be put on Ritalin because I wasn't paying attention (despite high performance). I was just bored. I coasted through school with top marks until I hit a wall with upper level university math. It has...

I guess, but air freight as it exists now is designed to leverage the capital already deployed in civilian transportation. The market and savings would have to be massive to justify the production, maintenance, and housing of a totally separate fleet of planes.

I dislike Jones enough to hope he goes this way. Good on Khabib for going out on top. Sadly few fighters are smart enough to do so.

Jones is the most talented, but his legacy is absolutely tainted by his own behavior even if his cage achievements are more impressive by some measures. When you're having GOAT discussions you can't fully abstract the numbers from the man.

What is the use case for that? I don't see there being a lot of overlap between products that need the speed of air freight and the volume/standardization of shipping containers. Flying is incredibly expensive and inefficient compared to boats, so long as you're willing to wait.

I have full confidence that self-driving vehicles will be a world-changing thing someday, but it's also obvious that we're not close to there yet and Tesla is pushing dangerous half-baked shit.

What makes Khabib special is his wrestling, and wrestling allows Khabib to dictate where the fight happens. Khabib grapplefucks people because that's where he knows he's better. If you downsized Gordon Ryan and gave him equal striking skill to Khabib what you'd get is a kickboxing match. Khabib...

This is one retirement I actually believe. When a guy like Khabib says he promised his mom he's done, he's done.

Khabib is totally disrespecting Gaethje, just walking straight up in his face while talking shit. Edit: God damn, Khabib is MONSTER grappler. Start to finish in five seconds through a half dozen transitions.

Struve got dropped hard by that uppercut at 0:08. I doubt he even knew what week it was.

It varies a lot. My wife lost a pregnancy at 18 weeks after the fetus' heart failed to develop properly. She was totally clinical about the whole thing. The most disturbing part for her was how the medical staff kept trying to console her and treating her like she was in shock. Her response was...

Your options are going to be very limited with mobile devices. I'm not sure they support multiplayer at all. The full multiplayer versions of Minecraft that people play require a real PC. (If you go that route, play the Java version, not Bedrock.) Servers can either be leased for <$10 a month...

I just got a complaint from my son's third grade teacher that his attention and participation has taken a nose dive recently during his virtual classes. My son fed some line of BS to both us and the teacher about having trouble with his microphone and that he wasn't able to keep up with the pace...

I've read four books in a week; I'm having a blast. Wight has a real gift for imaginative world-building and understands how to develop an lean, engaging plot that doesn't take itself too seriously or try to do too many things at once (probably stems from his experience with episodic TV). Upon...

Just starting the fourth Cradle book now thanks to the reviews in this thread. I'd never have given Wight a chance otherwise. Thanks, guys!

Gotta do something with power spikes from solar generation. Giant laz0rs sound good to me.

Do you have a feeling of pressure in your ears? Any noticeable loss of hearing range? A few years ago I had a bad allergic reaction that led to swelling that pinched my auditory nerve. I lost the bottom half of my hearing and I constantly felt pressure like I was in a subway tunnel with a train...

For the most part. I run a very small consultancy. I'm a numbers geek at heart; the sales and business development aspects are an ongoing challenge and activity can be very uneven. (It's been basically dead for the last 9 months, but when it's good it's good enough I can float times like this.)...

I make my living largely doing M&A valuation modeling for industrial companies.

Author sounds like a bit of an unbearable twit, but still... https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/10/baldurs-gate-3-early-access-mediocre-rpg-amazing-rendering-engine/

To be fair, I doubt even Conor wants to box again. What he wants is a paycheck with boxing-level zeroes on the end.

In the metro areas people are leaving (NY, LA, Boston, Atlanta, etc.), decent houses are $700-1M+. Double that for San Francisco. Your houses are free compared to that.

Sounds like the man needs a day job. Desire, dedication, and perseverance are not sufficient for elite success.

From the link you posted: "Asteroid 2018VP1 is very small, approx. 6.5 feet, and poses no threat to Earth! It currently has a 0.41% chance of entering our planet’s atmosphere, but if it did, it would disintegrate due to its extremely small size," NASA Asteroid Watch said on Twitter. The part...

Loved the first one enough that I won't touch this until it's done.

I've had one installed. Seek a professional, IMO. Never mind the carcinogenic gas, you'll want the warranty and receipt if you ever sell the house.

. Edit: Need to be able to delete own posts.

And he's a fireman. That Ohio All-American hero shit should write itself.

Due to the Star Wars post above my brain initially saw that knight as Boba Fett. "Why is a Belgian castle quartermaster making novelty beers?" Duh...
