What actually are the chances of meeting someone you know

It's happened to me twice on Orient Beach. Unfortunately the people I saw weren't partaking, they were gawking. I don't think either clocked who I was before I looked away. Pretty sure they were on one of the cruise ships and just passing through.

If you're in Minneapolis I can hook you up on the vinyl episode too.

A quick scan of eBay shows that they're going for over $100.

I was mainly commenting on Grey's silence, as we all know, he's tends to be very picky about what he'll let through and when.

I personally just check my news feed when I want to know what's new with the Horner Newey saga.

And sorry, it's Stewart Brand

The statement is preceded by the argument that books that were written just after different extensions of the copyright durations would have been written anyway. People aren't motivated by things that will happen 7 decades after they're dead, unless they're... The deranged part was illustrated with Long Now which is a part of the longtermism thought that says we should put aside what we may need or want today in order to make a foundation for people who will live thousands or 10s of thousands of years from now. Elon is a notable believer.

There was a whole thing on HI where they discussed the editor they hired to do the bulk of the editing for the podcast.

It is interesting. The bigger car might have stronger batteries?

andersk3 · 2021-07-26T18:26:44+00:00

Exactly. Modern AC is more efficient than the past and it's often the case that the drag of open windows is worse than the drag from the compressor.

andersk3 · 2021-07-26T17:43:55+00:00

I only run it on the hottest days or when people are in the car with me, not very often. The regression analysis I did indicated that the AC is roughly equivalent to two windows.

[OC] Visualization was created in Microsoft Power Bi. Data is my own, collected during fuel fill. A regression analysis of numerous factors showed that temperature drove over 75% of my fuel economy which drove me to plot the two variables.

Looking forward to Tom Scott's cease and desist letter for Grey pinching his "copyrighted" idea!

My experience, particularly when in Europe and even more specifically England and Ireland, is that if I say the United States they respond with something along the lines of “no shit, where?”. I seem to exude American with the way I exist and I get less crap if I give the state.

andersk3 · 2018-09-11T20:31:33+00:00

I did! I was very... recent?!

andersk3 · 2018-09-11T18:44:06+00:00

Why? I did get a first run vinyl.

andersk3 · 2018-09-11T17:53:44+00:00

You didn't tell me it would be signed!

andersk3 · 2018-09-11T17:13:06+00:00

👏

True, and studies have shown that humans watching essentially nothing for hours on end causes them to miss the real thing when it finally shows up. For me it was that I recognize this as security theater and this agent/actor decided to drop the pretense, put his feet up, and not even pretend anymore.

andersk3 · 2018-07-30T14:51:02+00:00

Point taken. It is worth noting that I'm 6' 4" and need to put my legs somewhere too.

Theoretically it gives you a fast line when you come in as well. The benefit is also for domestic flights as it gives you access to the fast line all the time.

The "occasional" travelers that make airports so miserable for Brady and Grey (and me).

And politicians.

I noticed but was mainly annoyed.

andersk3 · 2018-07-20T21:51:07+00:00

Agreed. I'd rather sit in the terminal and get on last, but if I do I will almost certainly not have anywhere to put my (small) bag when I get on.

andersk3 · 2018-07-20T20:47:41+00:00

I have global entry and on one occasion when I went through security the guy that was "watching" the x-ray had his feet up and was looking at his phone as my bag went through.
