My dad ran a job shop focused on small jobs and the economics are different.
A lot of his work was keeping other local shops / industrial equipment up and running. So there is a lot of variety of work but very low throughput and kind of by deffintion you have the capabilities to fix your own machines.
Programing a CNC machine makes it east to make a lot of the same part but if you only need one it may be quicker to just knock it out manually.
A 50 year old mill or lathe is easy to keep up and running, can be upgraded with a Digital readout or even CNC controls if desired. A tool in a shop like this likely won't see the cycles one on a factory floor constant uses sees but may be worth keeping around since it offers a unique capability...he had a large ww ii surplus lathe for jobs that wouldn't fit on the smaller more modern machines for example.
I've eaten at Dave's and also gather and eat morel's regularly in Montana.
Dave's is a popular joint but didn't strike me as particularly good even by Sushi restaurants in Montana standards. They had some creative rolls but seemed to fail to get the basic fish cuts and rice seasoning right.
What they were doing marinating the morel's and eating them basically raw is ridiculous. No one who is experienced with morel's does it that way and most mushroom guides contain info on hydrazine contents/risk and suggested cooking methods.
March and April is too early for Montana (or most US) Morel's which are commercially picked in forest fires from the previous year once the soil temperature reaches 54 degrees. I heard at one point these were grown in China and wouldn't be shocked if they are a different [sub]species that might contain more hyrazine. There are also some "false morels" that fruit earlier (one species is known as the snow morel as it comes up right after snow melt) but these are easy to identify contain even more hydrazine.
The article also claims they were imported from China. They also said samples were sent for genetic testing and confirmed they were of the species Morchella sextelata. Not sure if that is what you're referring to as a species with a higher hydrazine content but I agree with you that you should be cooking them regardless and it's strange to me that they were serving them raw.
The g7 is definitely a bit better on all counts except maybe bluetooth reliability. I use them with [open source closed loop](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/) insulin pump software and it is pretty great.
Still a lot of plastic but the sensor comes in a smaller jar/applicator in a cardboard box and it pretty reliably lasts 10 days cutting down waste.
It sounds like this new sensor is just a g7 but with less stringent accuracy standards for non insulin users allowing it to last 15 days.
I actually find hydraulic brakes much easier to maintain. They self adjust to account for wear and don’t suffer from cable stretch so I rarely need to adjust them. They need a bleed maybe once every few years but that is actually dead simple for shimano anyways.
The outdoor industry as a whole had a covid boom and upped production/orders. Now it seems a lot of those sales were in a way borrowed from the future and they have a ton of inventory and lagging sales.
It isn't even that much of a speed hit using the classical sorting CART implementation. However xgboost and ligthgbm use histogram based approximate sorting which might be harder to adapt in a performant way. And certainly the code will be a lot messier.
Came here to cite your work, I even mention "CloudForest" in my slides still as "an interesting implementation that is also capable of handling NANs in DTs in a slightly different way." Crazy this has already been 10 years.
Is anyone seriously proposing removing dams on the Colombia or Snake? Or really any dam used for irrigation?
Most of the removals seem to be on very small scale hydro projects on coastal river that produce very little power, aren’t used for irrigation and open up a lot of salmon habitat.
Yes - see the back and forth between Washington state and the Feds over the past year+. Would it happen immediately? No, but the goal has been stated and studies begun. It's even a part of the official party platform of the Washington State Democrats (much to the chagrin of those of us over here in Eastern Washington )
I suspect the Venn diagram of HN readers and Capitol Press readers (western states ag newspaper) is small, but just today there was an article in the CP talking about conflicts over the dams between various groups and the White House. Definitely an ongoing political football here in the PNW.
