EI flux is directional, so often easier to avoid. And they have lower bandwidth meaning they act as noise filters.

On reread it is clearly sarcasm. And I clearly need to lighten up.

Despite all the evidence to the contrary ...

Is it Trump?

The linked TAL will send shivers down your spine. It is one of the most horrifying things I have heard in a long time. Oddly, I don't think Trump has any fealty to these issues other than an early recognition that he could ride them to power. I also don't think he has any aversion to them.

So it is basically all Larry Summers' fault. I actually think the Frontline analysis is wishful thinking and that Stretch's view is, sadly, closer to the truth. I think it is a race, gender, sexual orientation, and religious backlash. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/600/will-i-know-anyone-at-this-party

I can't say it is good, but it was delightful to hear again. I saw them at the Metro in Chicago in the 90's - it was a terrible but very fun show.

Happy Birthday 2017! How is last year's present working out?

A - I was giving Ryan a hard time in a friendly way (hence the suggestion to go to the store 2 blocks from one of his favorite restaurants). B - call it what you will, but for me, vinyl is about experiencing music in a way that has been lost with digital and streaming. Slowing down listening is certainly one part of it, but so is being able to dig through record bins, talking to people at record stores, holding a large physical object with real cover art, etc.

Isn't the point of vinyl nostalgia to reconnect with the old way of doing things? Laurie's Planet of Sound is 2 blocks from Garcia's ... http://chicagoist.com/2014/08/20/the_best_record_stores_in_chicago.php

I don't use it myself, so I cannot offer any comparison, but anytime Matlab and R are mentioned, it is always worth including scipy in the conversation: https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-0.18.1/reference/tutorial/signal.html

Happy Birthday!

I feel like "lawn" is funnier than "grass" here.

That's very sad to hear. Such a handsome dog.

Lawsuits against table saw manufacturers who have not included standard safety equipment, and companies who have not supplied their workers with said equipment are a thing. Riving knifes are bog standard at this point.

Sounds like it wouldn't. The Sawstop mechanism is for stopping and retracting the blade when it is touched. But you'll have to ask Steve whether the blade guard or kickback pawls that also come on it might have helped. I think the general consensus with table saws is that kickback injuries are more common, but blade injuries tend to be more serious. However, kickback injuries can become blade injuries in a hurry.

This and this. Hope you're OK Steve. Table saws are terrifying machines.
