My brother had the flippy one. The noise was a little much for me.
I think most people just use their phones. I can't say that I've even seen a dedicated alarm clock in half a decade, at least.
Exactly. I used to register my off hand, as that was a little less likely to get damaged.
That's exactly why I'd hope an ultrasound would ignore things like color difference. I wouldn't expect it to ignore cuts without an ai component.
Thank God it allows for more than one finger. I used to start running low on undamaged prints!
I solved the problem by getting a better job, but at the time, it wouldn't have helped. Same problem. Swimming in motor oil.
If you thought my hands were dirty...
I used to work on diesel engines. I'd end up with different looking fingerprints all the time from grease, oil random little cuts, etc. I'd hope this tech is better able to discern fingerprints from noise. It was a little annoying.
I was eating Pizza at Amici in San Rafael, CA when news came across that Princess Diana died. Someone at the table said we'd all remember that moment for the rest of our lives. It's been true me.
City Beautiful made a video video on the subject.
Also maybe I’m misinterpreting but the graphs seem to show the control group having much more similar outcomes to those getting larger sums and payments having much less of an effect than I’d expect
It does seem like the amount had very little correlation with the outcome.
I'd like to see a comparison with a zero-dollar control group. This study seems to assume that the numbers at the beginning wouldn't have improved without financial intervention.
Even if you like it less (dislike it more?) it's healthier.
Shift workers have shorter lives, higher incidents of diabetes, etc.
Food in Zurich can be so goddamned expensive. I spent the last few days of a trip there. Beautiful city, fantastic transportation, honestly, not a horrifically expensive hotel, but the food was brutal. We ended up doing a lot of snacking from the co-op supermarket.
Pains me to say it, but Cody's Lab.
I still catch an episode now and again. It just hasn't been the same since he moved to Nevada.
Especially this week.
I mean, I've gone up in a pallet-box thing. Not too bright, but nothing like this. This is completely insane.
Same.
Of course, the first phrase I made absolutely certain I could rattle off was "excuse me I don't speak French well". Deliver that with a smile and they can be pretty damn forgiving.

I slowed it down because it's more sedate sounding. Even though these videos have relatively even tonal qualities, they sometimes speak fairly quickly. I adjusted the pitch only enough to reduce the distortion from the speed shift I just checked and the numbers are actually 85/95, not 85/90. 90% pitch is too unnatural sounding.
Nothing as a kid. Now I listen to a detuned playlist of fascinating, but dry science/history/tech videos.
My current rotation is Anton Petrov, Sean Wilsey, Red Wrench Films, and Curious Droid, all played at 85% speed, 95% pitch.
Edit 95 pitch, not 90.

Chronova Engineering produces exquisite mechanical marvels. Their production values are astonishing, with incredible macro work and a very soothing narration.
Why stand in line to board an airplane?
The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?
I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.
Who's Up?
I just got to work at 02:30, covering the second half of the graveyard shift. Pretty quiet night.
The What! Help is on the way. One of my all-time favorites, now almost completely erased from digital history.

This album has phenomenal songwriting. It's got a kind of laid-back LA-surf-rock sound with elements of punk and maybe a hint of wistful country in the lyrics.
The album and band appear endangered, unavailable on any music streaming service.
The only online version I could find is this a random YouTube upload with almost no views.
They were introduced to me by a friend's sister in, like 1999. Their band ended quickly after the death of one of the members.
The only other digital presence related to them now appears to be a remaining band member's channel, which hasn't been updated in 11 years.

Rhythmically Inclined Podcast 31 feat. LMajor
This showed up for me last week in a related tracks playlist. Outstanding set. The last 20 minutes are particularly face-melting.
