They mention Jeni's. Now that is premium ice cream. Their "darkest chocolate" and "milkiest chocolate" flavors are the only chocolate ice creams I like, because they actually taste…

Printed teeth are weaker than the belt's own teeth. Conversely, with this design the center pin could break loose and the belt would still hold, because the pin just has to stop th…

Today I learned that diabetes is the greek word for siphon.

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale. Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create Th…

At my past place Fios was excellent but I've had mixed results recently, with ping spikes and a lot of suspected traffic shaping of things like Youtube. Service is pretty good thou…

Mitosis is the layout that I like, it doesn't require a huge thumb stretch.

I consume copious amounts of cold mugicha. It's amazingly refreshing and very cheap.

We can collect income tax from children of tourists who happen to be born in the US on vacation? Great!

The fastest drag racing cars still are internal combustion. When raw speed is the goal, the torque doesn't have to be efficient, you can get it from an engine spinning away in its …

> Besides being cheaper, the induction motors have the advantage that if they are used only as auxiliary motors, you can cut the power supply to them at any time, in which case the…

Efficiency varies according to the load and RPM. Permanent magnet motors have higher peak efficiency but EESMs are better in non ideal conditions, particularly low torque high RPM …

Sometimes limitations can have benefits.

Regardless, for me the CD is actually painful to listen to even at low volumes, while the vinyl is excellent.

There's compression and distortion for sure on the vinyl, but when you look at the waveform on the digital it's right up to the max. It completely changes the sound.

It's true from time to time. Low's last digital releases are actually unlistenable due to heavy-handed compression, but the vinyl seems to have been spared. I had to record the vin…

My LG OLED TV does have a headphone jack, and I send that through a mixer (combined with my CRT gaming setup's output, my record player, and my PC's output) to my stereo.

It's the ergonomics that I have an issue with.

I always viewed the classic scroll method as a mirror to what happens on screen.

Speaking of "natural scrolling" it is horrible because most scrolling is downward and "natural" is an ergonomically inferior pushing action instead of pulling. It's only natural on…

The thermistor looks like a Semitec ###NT series, if you want the exact one. 103NT H34G, I suppose?

Zigzagoon using growl made it say my "hp rose"

I figured 300 megabit Fios would be enough but I think that when you cheap out, they more severely throttle places like Youtube on the backend.

The PH-0 and smaller screwdrivers from Good suppliers like iFixit or Wera are actually JIS because there's no downside. But if you happen upon a real PH-0 it will destroy the JIS s…

Third party lenses that cannot be updated by the camera body will include a USB port.

The author says PH screwdrivers may be used on JIS screws, but in my experience they strip every single time . This is incredible work, though.
