Your tutorials were a huge influence on me as I began learning to code in my late 20’s and had a profound impact allowing me to start two companies and helped give me a toolset I didn’t have before. Thanks for all you do!

As it’s drawn in it passes through a heat exchanger so the air coming in is nearly the same temperature as the air inside the house.
This means the house stays cool/warm without much addictions energy required.
I’m sure larger buildings have similar features but it’s a really great system to have if you find yourself building a new home.
If the reason is because they want a free tier forever, that impacts the recommendation. If the reason is because they think google could shut you out, that may need a completely different recommendation.
I read it in college in a Vietnam and the US History class and it was blown away.
This book, along with The Things They Carried[1] are worthwhile reads.

I kept a food log and identified that a caffeine and chocolate combo to be a consistent trigger.
In addition if too bright of a light shined in my eyes(let’s say a car door shut and the sun reflected off of the door’s window as I looked at it) it would also trigger a migraine.
After working to limit those triggers I’ve found that I don’t get migraines much anymore. Adding in sumatriptan when they do come on has been helpful.
If you find yourself with migraine symptoms I definitely recommend trying to identify the triggers, food, stress or otherwise.
But do spigots in other parts of your body get turned that are also rusty, so to speak?
I notice cold/hot showers help my body regulate my temperature better, generally.

My first appointment was in 2007 and there was such a concern that vets would be ignored the way they were after Vietnam that the pendulum swung the other way.
I’d typically not wait more than 48 hrs for an appointment, I had no copays, prescriptions/bloodwork covered 100%, physical therapy when I got injured, etc.
As a transitioned veteran in college with no insurance it was a dream.
Now that I have private insurance through work, I only keep it for my family, and I continue to use the VA for all of my healthcare.
It’s not perfect and wait times in places need to improve but for the most part, if you need help, you get it.
I had a deployment to Afghanistan in 2004 and three to Iraq(2005, 2006 x 2).
I’m 35 now and the wars are finally near an end. Had I had kids younger, they could have been deployed in the same war.
Roughly 7,000 Americans were killed, 50k+ wounded, not to mention then hundreds of thousands of men, women and children killed.
I’m glad the GWOT era is coming to an end and hope we can learn from all the mistakes we made along the way.

Try eating breakfast at 10 am instead of 8(let’s say) for a couple of weeks.
Then see if you can hold off until noon without going to bed later.
If you can eat between the window of noon and 8PM you’re effectively on a 16/8 diet.
After you’re comfortable, try eating no later than 6PM, then try 4PM. Before you know it you’re on a 20/4 schedule.
SoftBank is the “Nasdaq whale” that has bought billions of dollars’ worth of US equity derivatives in a move that stoked the fevered rally in big tech stocks before a sharp pullback on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter.
My perspective is that this proverb is right on: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
Having a cofounder completely changed my second company's trajectory. Having someone who takes on the parts of the business where I am weak, and visa-versa, has made a world of difference.
If I scraped the most common search results from Google, front page only, and removed all the ads what would Google's argument against that be?
On one hand, so many sites make finding information difficult, on the other it feels pretty scuzzy that Google prevents searchers from clicking through to the site that put the work into generating content.
I've got to assume the length of your comment correlates with engagement.
Planet seems to take you to a landing page with interesting things to look at. Not that that's bad, but interested to hear what's better about it
Every night we’d support teams running missions by getting onto helicopters and getting comfortable for the night.
The pilots would spin up the bird and not take off. The blades would literally spin all night long, to the point where we’d need to refuel once or twice(more of actually flew somewhere).
Night after night SAR teams around the country were doing the same, for over a decade.
The reason why they’d spin up the bird at sundown: these helicopters always had mechanical issues and if you shut it down there was a significant chance the helicopter wouldn’t start back up when you needed it.
That’s just one data point in the entire US military but I could think of a dozen others offhand.
I'm not passing judgement here on Assange or the US's case against him. Just noting that the prosecution case seems to focus on the fact that US intelligence docs being released puts American lives at risk.
The prosecution's case doesn't seem to imply that this video is not evidence of war crimes but that its release doesn't absolve him of the crime of releasing other documents.
The linked article seems pretty light on details so it's difficult to make much out of it directly.
My understanding of how humans evolved to eat is pretty limited, but I would guess unintentional intermittent fasting would have been commonplace in humans over the past few hundred thousand years.
There seems to be consensus that eating a large variety of foods is great for you, but is shifting your eating pattern, or even grazing, better than eating at the same time, the same amount, every day?
Does your ancestral background impact how frequently you eat? Similar to how some cultures are lactose intolerant due to historically not having access to cows, could similar issues present based on how frequently we eat?
I’d love to find resources that have dug into those topics if anyone has recommendations.
Enhanced Autopilot helps avoid collisions, a centered driver position provides maximum visibility and control, and a low center of gravity offers rollover protection. Every driver is responsible for remaining alert and active when using Autopilot, and must be prepared to take action at any time.
Sitting in the stands no longer feels like you're watching an incredible game. Instead it feels like you're watching the game live on ESPN(given the level of advertisements) but sitting in the stands.
I'm certainly not the first to point out how commercialized sports have become, but it's disconcerting seeing stadiums try to hook you into staring at an ad for four hours instead of enjoying a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Another example was the flyover: A B2 flew over just before kickoff[0] and I, along with almost everyone else, had never seen one before. An announcement over the loudspeakers asked that everyone hold up a small sign so that the stadium looked like the American flag from above. This was great for viewers at home and horrible for anyone in the stands because all you could see was the back of the sign you and everyone else were holding up.
We seem to have gotten so far away from what sports are about(two teams competing to see who's best) that we've landed on milking as much money out of the fans as they possibly can.
Facial recognition, in this context, seems to be doing the same. Rather than giving fans a fantastic experience, the folks running these games are trying to monetize them instead.
