    A Conceptual Modification to the Continuing Education Requirements

    I had one I saved for posterity, but not sure where it is anymore

    A Conceptual Modification to the Continuing Education Requirements

    Yeah, they were, once you got through the case. So, slightly thicker that the 5.25" floppy disc, but with a much harder/stiffer case. As for the older generation of floppies, it was 8", not 10", as far as I know. We had a VAX-10 computer, which was huge, covering multiple equipment racks...

    Protein Supplementation via BCAAs

    Should point out that the Orgain protein supplement claims it contains BCAAs leucine, isoleucine, and valine, and has at least all the EAAs, so not clear if this is a distinction without a difference. Nevertheless, the amino acid profiles are different, so there are still a bunch of missing...

    You make it sound like they had some major decision making power in process, which might be true is other companies, but not OG. No employee had any power to order testing of the new hull design, nor change the design; all the design and test decisions were essentially made by Rush. Lochridge...

    Protein Supplementation via BCAAs

    I think the answer to your question has more to do with what else you are consuming, since the remainder of your intake needs to have the proteins that your BCAA doesn't include; my understanding is that BCAA products typically only contain 3 amino acids, while a typical protein powder contains...

    Protein Supplementation via BCAAs

    OP is just some random guy on the internet, and if they were seriously doing bodybuilding, I would think they'd already know what to be doing; it's for that reason that I think 1 gm/lb is a bit excessive. Certainly, from Henselman and others, there's not any downsides physiologically, other...

    Protein Supplementation via BCAAs

    Most serious calculations do use lean mass; rules of thumb using net weight is simply because most people can't do the math, but this is an engineering site, so everyone ought to be able to use a calculator. Since people actually worrying about proper protein are typically relatively low in...

    Protein Supplementation via BCAAs

    Is 200# your lean mass? Since you say you want a calorie deficit, that suggests that your lean mass is less than that, and the gm/lb ratio should be applied to the lower mass.

    Air India 787 crashes on take off

    Flying from John Wayne airport used to involve what felt like full power TO, followed a levelling off and reduction of thrust; something to do with noise abatement over rich peoples' houses.

    FEA also assumes homogenous and uniform hull, which we already know is not the case. All those pops and bangs represent damage to an already nonuniform structure, so it's quite likely that the hull implosion collapsed and pulled the the hull and the adhesive from poorly prepped surfaces in the...

    That was Rush's dodge to avoid classing, but it's pretty simple; Rush had zero proof or analysis that his submersible was robust enough for the dive depth, so he knew it couldn't get classed at all.

    That only works if your client is rational and not full of themselves. The Netflix doc. points out numerous instances, notably, one where OG paid to get outside analysis of test results and got the bad news and Rush simply stopped working with them. Ditto Lochridge, who was immediately fired...

    Titan sub noise heard on board support ship.

    Not strictly true; they knew quite early on that any dissent was going to result in immediate dismissal. Their hope was that they would be able to sway Rush to a safer conclusion, but that was not going to happen. While the Netflix documentary is heavily biased by the former employees, the...

    Titan sub noise heard on board support ship.

    Definitely hubris, but not ignorance, per se, in the "stupid" sense ; he "ignored" experts, because of his hubris, and possibly, he knew at some level that the experts were usually correct, and that his suppositions were seriously flawed and that classing the vehicle would prove that his dream...

    Smart Garden System

    Given your particular application, which I suspect does not have anything happening at the micro, or even milli, second scale, you could run your I2C bus at 1 kHz, as suggested here: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/106265/maximum-i2c-bus-length
