Cyclists who carry: What's your preferred pocket gun? Way to keep sweat off it?
I'm a road biker and I detest carrying anything heavier than a key, credit card and phone.

Does anyone remember the name of the other priest at St. Patrick's in the 1980s? Not Kevin O'Neill
Short guy, full beard, was into computers.
Edit: Ken Fortney, he's apparently retired and in Ohio now.

Why did John Doe in Se7en believe "What I've done is going to be puzzled over and studied and followed... forever"?
Other than the obvious answer that he's just a nutbag?
Sure, he put a lot of work into it, but so have many serial killers. Did he really think he was going to change anyone?

Why hasn't there really been any media developed from Legacy of the Aldenata? Is it just simply that John Ringo is an asshole?
I want more power armor on screen. But of course, Ringo has a certain reputation, and he does often work with some really reprehensible people.
I wish we could get a second Hedren war book though. 17-year cliffhangers are no fun.

What's an efficient way of controlling an exact amount of regenerative braking, like if I were building a bike trainer and wanted to add exactly 50 watts of resistance.
say I'm feeding a load bank that is recharging a battery, or even dumping into a bank of incandescent lights, or ideally driving an inverter and feeding power back into the grid. I'd like to build with off the shelf parts as much as possible. I know a lot of electronic speed controllers for RC work can do regenerative braking, but I don't know how precisely they can be controlled.

It seems like every tech company in Montana these days is a defense contractor of some sort. I don't want to build weapons for food.
Especially right now with madmen and idiots in charge of everything.
I didn't spend this much time learning how to build robots so I could make fucking Skynet.
But I don't really want to leave Montana again. My dad is getting up in years and I'm not exactly a spring chicken myself.
How about some nice agricultural robots? Something that grows food instead of killing people, is that too much to ask?

This may be heresy, but I really think the Valkyrie owes a little more to the F-111 than the F-14.
Just the general shape of the plane feels a lot closer.
The phoenix missile was originally supposed to go on the F-111.
No disrespect to the Tomcat, but the Valkyrie is kinda varky.

"Arvada Carvana!" -- an Unforgivable Curse that transports the target to a used car dealership in eastern Colorado
A horrifying fate if ever there was one. Not the eastern colorado part, the car dealership part.
To explain the joke: The unforgivable killing curse from Harry Potter is "Avada Kedavra".

"We do it this way because dead people told us to and engineering was finished when they died, in 1870"
You can use more than one letter as a variable name. Jesus wept. Coming from a software background, this just jumps out at you.
"Shit, I used K twice on this PFD."
"You know, you could use a symbolic name. How about intake_pumps_1? Nobody will arrest you."
"ZIS IS HOW VE DID IT IN PRUSSIA UND ZIS IS HOW GOTT MEANT IT TO BE DONE! BURN ZE HERETIC!"

Nobody in 1992 knew that Broken was the hardest we'd ever hear Nine Inch Nails go.
Shower thought.
And you know, I'm glad Trent is alive, has slain his demons, and is a happy family man, but while I still occasionally like a newer song (and quite a bit of his soundtrack work), nothing he's done since Still really touches my xennial heart. Still was an excellent denouement for what NIN was.

Anyone using DWSIM for process modeling? I'm a robotics guy who got snagged into doing some process drafting, so I'm a bit out of my depth. My dad is familiar with ChemCAD.

Life is so much nicer when you start your firmware with OTA and a hardware watchdog.
