You can get them for about $300 a pop these days because Google has EOL'd them and they're kind of useless. They do work as TVs but the default stand is awful for this since it takes a lot of space, and the software on the thing isn't very good for this. == Stand == We bought [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZ7X2W4B?..." current

Some of these techniques are quite interesting. I usually block people when I encounter them, but sometimes I fall for them and try to reply before I realize what they're doing. == Specialization of General Categories == This is where someone takes a line that has a universal category reference and then specializes it to an e..." current

But no matter how smart someone is, one thing always makes them stupid. Here's an example of a Bill Ackman tweet that exhibits the kind of gullibility most held by a first time tourist to NYC. The cab drivers there are notorious scamsters, and while it might benefit one to exagge..."

Things that are coordination-dominated are sloppy and imprecise and consequently, you can only apply thrust towards a target or away from the target, with little control over the minimum thrust.
