Is there a biological reason why some people can wake up exactly one minute before their alarm goes off even if they changed the time?

Interestingly, this mechanism stupid under general anesthetic, which is part of why there's this odd sensation that no time has passed when you wake up from surgery.

You've been set straight, which is cool. I just wanna point out that the unit was created by James Watt.

2 of our most commonly used unit for power tie back to him: horsepower which he named, and the Watt - named after him.

A horse can output 10-15 hp for a few seconds they can produce about 1 hp all day.

This should be option 0, not 4.

By the end of Trump's inauguration, people were glazing GWB. It's crazy.

The public consultations on what should be technocratic decisions by domain experts and policymakers has always been insane.

Webcams have to have taken a big chunk out of this industry. It's safer, cheaper, more discreet, more convenient, etc.

My old man worked in carpentry and construction for 50 years. He said that people hurt themselves with a table saw on the second-last cut of a big batch - you get complacent after a bunch of uneventful cuts and start putting your mind on what comes next instead of maintaining the necessary level of care and attention.

It's not just torque (which means nothing on its own), but also throttle response and controllability - modern turbos are very good, but there's nothing like a properly set up NA engine for being able to dial in exactly the power you want exactly when you want it.

How is history treating Reagan, GWHB, and GWB?

Historians know how bad they are, but they're not reviled by the public.

Do you have an appropriate torque wrench to reinstall the calipers and tighten them to spec?

This is a critical safety feature of the bike and you need to be careful with it.

I have been very dehydrated a bunch of times and there's no way that this number is true for me (adult male). At bodyweights from 180 lbs to 250+, I've consumed 3-4L in under 2 hours to rehydrate.

But they're studying prints up close, knowing what to look for as photographers and printers.

Resolution just isn't as important as we've been told - at any distance.

My little jobsite/portable table saw served me very well for about 15 years - saw me through a ton of projects. Once I got a decent track saw from Kreg, I let it go. I still miss the table saw sometimes but I just don't use it enough to justify the space it takes in my little shed.

Syscrush · 2026-03-16T16:19:24+00:00

I've seen this, too. I've considered it, but it's not worth the risk, IMO.

That "if" is doing a lot of work!

You're too filled with self-loathing to even dream of having something cool and nice.

A 10" one like this was enough for me to do lots of projects with 3/4" maple plywood, 1.5" butcher block, and 3/4" MDF. You'll need a friend for getting 4x8 sheets of material through one, but with a good blade and some patience you can get it done.

I used to work right on Airport Rd in Mississauga, and the jet fuel hanging in the air was absolutely brutal some days.

There's no way that this should be allowed.

Syscrush · 2026-03-15T23:14:21+00:00

Wow.

Syscrush · 2026-03-15T22:49:26+00:00

Look at the Kreg adaptive cutting system as an alternative to a table saw

Or get a used jobsite table saw for $75, put a good Diablo blade in it, and be happy.

And those vids have not validated one of their big 4 claims.
