As a male, sitting down to pee at home keeps the toilet and floor significantly cleaner. Even with perfect aim, you don’t see the micro droplets until they build up.

Cuts cleaning time and frequency


Until you encounter a bowl that flows up when hit with a forward-facing stream instead of down. Too many times has this happened so pay attention.



FTA: Editor's note: An earlier version of this article mentioned the Boeing 787 CCS uses a Wind River VxWorks real-time OS product at its heart. While this is true, Wind River has been in touch to remind us "the CCS is made up of 80 to 100 applications," as well as VxWorks, and said the bug described in this article is not the fault of its operating system.

"The functions of VxWorks have nothing to do with the data issue you are highlighting in the 787," a spokesperson added. We are happy to clarify our coverage.


VxWorks is the only software in the entire system that I would not question. Sadly, somebody has already added this thing about the airplane to VxWorks' wikipedia page.


I didn't mean to imply that the 787 ran critical infrastructure on Windows 95, just to give an example of a system which was affected by a timer overflow of about that duration.


Though Somehow I would not be surprised if it were true


Running in a VM running on Windows.


It’s probably more complex than a slow memory leak, but is very reminiscent of one.


Maybe something to do with a clock. Space shuttle missions couldn't fly during the new year clock/date changeover...


I always use https://regex101.com when I write regex. The interface is great and provides instant feedback so you can dial in your expressions quickly. But to answer your question directly, no. I don’t really know it.


I worked in commercial nuclear power for a while, including a stint at three mile island. The regulatory compliance burden alone, from the NRC and DOE, is crippling financially.


Exactly. Regulation has led to larger plants, and longer construction times.

I really hope pre-approved, pre-built modular reactors lower costs, delays, and regulatory overhead.

I'm also hopefully that molten salt reactors, once viable, are different enough to not be hampered by the full breath of traditional reactor regulations.


That seems to conflict with the low operating expenses of nuclear reactors. Once they are built, what is the crippling aspect?


low operating expenses over the whole lifetime of the plant including deconstruction or just the fun part?


Typically decommissioning costs are collected throughout the lifetime of operation, and to my knowledge these costs do not significantly raise the operating expenses. But I'm not familiar in detail with many examples, so if I'm wrong on the general trend, I would like to know!


Typically the energy corps gets rid of their assets before decommissioning puts them in a "bad bank corp" and lets us pay for it.


Seconded. For me however, its a monthly treatment for an hour in an office run by an anesthesiologist. The difference is night and day compared to any SSRI, SNRI, or TCA I've ever been on. Exempting the 3-4 hours post treatment, no ill side effects either.


> Exempting the 3-4 hours post treatment

What do you experience during that time?


Some visual distortions, difficulty focusing, occasional nausea, slow speech, feeling groggy.


I never got into twitter, but I feel that way about instagram. Took me a while, but carefully following and unfollowing, I have a nice, non-toxic, interesting pastime when I want it.

I do occasionally get the random suggestion that is irrelevant, but that's a quick fix.

Facebook however. I don't think there is any help for my feed. I've abandoned trying.


This is very consistent with what I have read from sports psychologist Craig Manning[1]. So much of performance rests in the mind and of not sabotaging our performance with negative thoughts.

Fortunately, I don't feel like whether it is true or not changes any doctrine. I am curious though.


True, it doesn't seem as though any doctrines were harmed.


I appreciate the author's ability to use levity without sacrilege.

My current resume is 2 pages, and that's a recent adjustment. For the past 20 years or so I've kept it pared down to 1 page. It probably still could be if I removed some keyword padding for the resume scanners.


Why? Are you trying to appear as a new grad?

If you have 8 pages of work experience share it, just make sure your first page has a summary.


As someone who has screened thousands of resumes, this is a terrible idea unless you're a government contractor or something where you need to give a full accounting of everything you did. If you can't summarize it in 1-2 pages, and you think every small thing you did is important, its already a red flag for most. At best it will just get ignored.


If I'm trying to get it past someone who is filtering thousands of resumes being able to quickly assess that I would be a good fit is important. The first page should tell the hr person immediately. The extra weight of a full resume with roles that match the position gives additional confidence pre-interview that carries through to the interview where the interview becomes a formality. That might be more important with smaller companies or smaller teams where finding someone they can trust who can perform the job is important and you do not have blind rounds of interviews with random teams not connected to the onboarding.

Let the hiring manager fall in love with your resume by showing it to them.


My resume is 9 pages but I only supply it on request. Potential employers find me on LinkedIn. Automatic keyword matching leads to longer resumes. I'm afraid your approach is very much in the minority.
