My wife finds yard sale watches and has me change the battery, but then I open one, a tiny thing and it's not battery powered but there are layers of tiny tiny gears. Mind boggling. (pro tip, a "bench knife" has a tiny blade that's optimized for plying open watch cases)

Had a used 13 Mini for about a year now, very pleased and the battery is just fine.

Same here, oddly pleased that the Scanner class is deprecated before I even knew about it.

>I honestly don't know why more people don't gravitate towards these ideas.

They would if there was a bit more GUI introduction. Seriously functional menus and visual indication of modes. With hints from graphical to the faster keyboard sequences.

A (super easy to set up) rsync on IPhone that can "see" the itunes music folder would be a huge boon and likely change the world for the better!

I sent in a report sending bikes through a highway tunnel in Boston, took six months but received a message they made the correction.

One actual researcher mentioned good habits will get anyone into their 80's but everyone tested over 105 has most of 100 certain genes. Really old age may be genetic.

Noticed a comment in /r/spacex from a reliable poster that there are very quiet ongoing discussions between NASA and Spacex.

A big percentage of ticket price goes directly to the studio/distributor, perhaps the entire fee stays with the theater.

So much better than paper tape! My first adventure was on a PDP-8 that had a paper tape reader that was great but really slow even for that time. So a job with a real card reader that ran through a deck in seconds was cool.

(And I almost got to take a 360/30 front console until some company bought it for scrap. So many flashing lights and dials, I figured I could drive them with a Z80)

Math is the map. The map is not the territory, yet incredibly useful.

There is a couple blocks of these houses near me (near Boston) that seemed like normal small homes. Did not realize until someone mentioned at a party that they lived in a Sears house.
