When stock you've held for years rockets to the moon, and your major banking institution with 100 billion dollar annual revenue experiences "technical difficulties" at the login page. You can't sell your meagre crumbs until the spaceship has completed its orbit and you're left with no doubt about who the system doesn't work for.

I'm surprised to see this comment not echoed by more people. Besides the inadequate sample size of older participants, my immediate response to the variance in the data was that I doubt the slope could be distinguished from zero.

Does it count as a side project if I have been in grad school full time while I proposed and developed this application?: Environmental flow monitoring application: https://dkhydrotech.com/entry/11/. I wish I could share more info / visuals but alas.

Tbh, I was hoping for an embedded midi file with no sound control. :)

My favourite part of this experience was my reaction to seeing your ICQ number. It was 'dang, he was a couple thousand ahead of me.' Somehow I still remember my ICQ number, though I don't think I've used it since 2001.
