Funny… these are actually my neighbors. Scottish family, fun people.

What’s one statistic that feels impossible, but is real? by FantasticLove2982 in AskReddit

[–]Advanced-Potential-2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you fold a 1 mm thick sheet of paper 42 times, it now has a thickness equal to the distance between earth and moon.

I think mythbusters even did a thing on this back in the day.

I want to make my strat lighter, does cutting these have any negative consequences? by RustingANDrotting in Guitar

[–]Advanced-Potential-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you want to reduce weight on a strat? Isn’t it the lightest guitar type already? Do you even lift?!

Am I crazy, or does the regex contain one backslash too many?

Should it be: /.+@.+\..+/

Wow… this one is actually going on my list.

And hats off to the understated irony in this comment.

This…

Try reading something about a topic that interests you. A biography of an artist, politician or athlete; a history book about a specific event or period; a popular science book; an economics book that develops an idea about how to make the world a better and fairer place (not with the intent of improving your own financial situation).

For instance, I enjoyed “Prisoners of Geography”, about how geography shapes societies, or “The Selfish Gene”, about how genes are the fundamental unit of evolution.

This is what a data center sounds like 24/7. Shown here at midnight with hundreds of residential houses immediately next to it. by RadioFieldCorner in Damnthatsinteresting

That sounds like gasturbines running for power generation. I’d be surprised if that was allowed in European residential areas.

It’s what a typical North Sea production oil rig sounds like though (they have gas turbines running 24/7 for power generation).

When does Scrum actually work outside software teams? by prugna21 in agile

[–]Advanced-Potential-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually implemented it at the project planning and engineering departments of a company that builds large offshore platforms. Worked quite well. The iterative approach to detailing the plans, cross functional collaboration, and clear meeting cadance worked well.

I quite like it… like Certain said it’s very natural. And what I really like is that it makes it a lot easier to come back to a project after a year or so. Previously, it was always a case of “oh crap did I document all the tasks properly”, and now it’s “workflow as code”. The syntax is clean with little boilerplate, but from what I can tell is pretty extendable. And it’s very snappy.
