There are a lot of great bands in this thread. Many I wish I had seen (especially Queen w/Freddy.) My answer is Pink Floyd. They were innovators for live performances, even if they didn’t jump around and play the guitar with their teeth.

According to Lakota social etiquette, simply listening (and not interrupting) is the greatest form of respect — that we can ever hope to bestow.

For me, it is puzzles. From Hanayama 3D metal puzzles to escape room boxes to a jigsaw puzzle made from a silver half-dollar. “I may be glad to see you, but that is a puzzle in my pocket.”

The first 6 stages of debugging: 1. That can’t happen 2. That doesn’t happen on my machine 3. That shouldn’t happen 4. Why does that happen? 5. Oh I see 6. How did that ever work?

This is a case of flawed logic. While this may sound reasonable, most accidents on freeways are caused by two vehicles going different speeds. Sure, a kinetic limit would reduce impact energy, but at the cost of increased accident rates.

I wanna share some neat numbers I use all the time and what I use them for. Starting with sqrt(0.5), 0.7071... The point on a circle at 45 degrees is at (r*hr, r*hr) where r=radius and hr=sqrt(0.5). To rotate 45 degrees, you can use this 2x2 matrix: mat2(hr, -hr, hr, hr)

Hey Dallas peeps - I’m in need of a reflow oven for a custom circuit board. Does anybody know where I can rent/borrow/use one? I’ve checked a couple marker spaces and an electronics rental shop, but no luck so far.
