I believe it's confirmed Tesla employed this strategy successfully to id a leaker.

Larger than 6 inches, got it!

Assuming you meant < 6 inches I'm all for it as well, it would be another incredible usp for these devices.

Gauss's notes and margins is riddled with proofs he didn't bother to publish - he was wild.

Not sure if true, but allegedy he insisted his son not go into maths, as he would simply end up in his father's shadow as he deemed it utterly Impossible to surpass his brilliance in maths :'D

This website is quite broken on firefox android. Lots of jank but most notably the viewport isn't fixed so when you interact with sliders the viewports also shifts to the side. Figured I'd point it out as it's an article about website interaction.

> Like why did Trump want to bash on Canada in the first place?

Canada was a founding member of NATO, and it's very obvious Trump does not want a strong NATO alliance. Whatever the reason may be is up to speculation, but from an outside looking in it's quite jarring seeing clips of Hillary Clinton 8 years ago warn everyone that Trump was going to dismantle NATO. How any American is baffled by the current events is the only thing that is baffling to me.

How's it going now that you're 5+ years into this resolution? Why 2030 specifically?

Small suggestion from a DFW fan, read the extremely brief book This Is Water, and then try to take on Infinite Jest - just make sure to read the foreword by Dave Eggers before you start, it will light a guiding torch for the journey and what to expect coming out of it.

Amazing delivery! Thank you for sharing this, I started The Pale King many years ago but got sidetracked - this video inspired me greatly to try to finish it again.

A JS framework is probably nabbing it as we speak

I'm not sure how being fully submerged for long periods of time affects this, but in outdoor culture there are sayings like "warm when wet" - pertaining to certain fabrics such as wool and polyester.

One famous strategy is the pile and pertex combination. Where you have a thin basically windproof but not waterproof shell made typically from Pertex, and then fake fur from polyster on the inside.

These jackets are used to (might still be) be worn by law enforcement to old school rock climbers for it's ability to keep you warm and damp for hours.

There are videos of people submerging in ice cold water and "walking it off" until they are damp but warm again.

Another saying is "cotton kills", because it does not provide warmth when wet and also sucks up insane amounts of water for its weight, so it bascially never dries out.

Sure, it was a used pair from the brand IK Multimedia, the model is named MTM. I still can't believe such a small speaker can punch this hard above its weightclass in terms of bass. When I have people over they think my air purifier by the desk is a subwoofer.

I sold a pair of pretty renowned speakers with 6" woofers for a much smaller pair of DSP controlled close range studio monitors that came with a calibration microphone. Even though I liked my old speakers I could tell they couldn't shine in my room (mainly the bass couldn't be controlled, which impressed everyone except me that just wanted to hear what the audio engineers intended).

I'm super happy how good my mostly untreated room sounds now with some calibration and careful monitor placement. I'm a somewhat critical listener having had basic ear training and always protected my hearing at live shows. My room is very bad in terms of acoustics, so of course proper room treatment would greatly improve the setup, but not everyone is in a position where room treatment is feasible, so to me this is a great way to get maybe half way there.

I didn't see it, but everyone who has hiked during a lemming year has these types of stories about these crazy animals

Edit: I read the comment you linked, the reason we have such similar language is because Swedes and Norwegians call it the same thing and I guess both of us were unsure if 'lemming year' is a widespread term :)
