As far as I know, anosmia would be the inability to smell. Parosmia would be scents smelling like other things, or the inability to identify certain smells.

And since taste and smell are so closely related, I haven’t been able to drink colas for about 3 years. Dr Pepper is fine though, so I’m okay.

How long until the AI estimates how fast you were going based on the time you were tagged at 2 cameras? The system says travel between these cameras should take 3 minutes. You made it in 2:45. No review, just a ticket in the mail.

If you’re on a Mac, I recommend qlmarkdown. It’s a customizable quick look renderer for markdown (md) files.

Exactly my experience. After my last couple races or long workouts, my HRV dipped a few ms for a few days before coming back to normal. In this case, it’s not telling me anything I don’t already know. But in other instances, a lower HRV would make me consider slowing down a bit.

I’ve heard about 75-85/25-15, but just round it to 80/20.

Zone 3/Tempo sessions can help to raise speed so that Z2 is faster for the same intensity.

Obviously lower intensity workouts can go for longer and the high z5 stuff for fairly short intervals across short sessions.

Careful there. By combining running and cycling, you’re 2/3 of the way to triathlons. And why suck at 1 sport when you can suck at 3?

I mean, he was a professional athlete, so that’s kind of the point he was making. As you progress in fitness, it sucks less which means your body has adapted and you can go faster/ harder/ longer.

Not that it’s perfect, far from it, but Movies Anywhere is a baby step in the right direction for at least Movies (on some services).

I have a limited background in computing hardware, but I really appreciate the thought he puts into explaining both the why and how.

His 8-bit CPU videos are just amazing, and even at ~1 Hz, it’s incredible to think about what all happens. And then to think about going billions of times faster…

And the “include_link.mk” file. Yea, that’s probably a good thing.

As a non-developer, the whole situation with a bad software update to the Voyager spacecraft really puts things into perspective as far as how bad remote updates can be.

It’s also a testament to the way that the system was designed that they were able to get it back online.

Not exactly. I work as a project manager in the transportation field, and I can tell you that inflation has doubled (or more) the cost of several of my projects in the past few years. Most of the increases can be attributed to rising costs, and not necessarily scope changes.

Combined with limited funding, the projects continue to get delayed.

And, unless I missed something, will not come with CarPlay or Android Auto.

It certainly caused me to rethink my spending. I signed up for Apple One Premium as soon as it was available. With the latest hikes, I’ve ditched the bundle and now I just have Music and iCloud storage.

So in their quest for increased revenue, I’m now spending less than I was before.

Also dropped Prime and Netflix (though basic is included for no additional cost with T-Mo).

I’ve had this for the past 6 months. I’d honestly rather have entirely lost my sense of smell than to go through this.

Just surprised Alec took that one apart and didn’t have a separate one already disassembled.

I’m only about halfway through, but like most of his videos this one is fascinating

Looks like it’s time for a new Matt Parker spreadsheet video!
