Musk is the Bazaar.

I presume the monkey got fried.

Studies have been done comparing gasoline vs. ammonia and while there are differences overall the dangers and mitigations are about the same.

The future of shipping is ammonia. It has, pretty much, all the attributes of fossil fuels but being NH4 it doesn't produce an earth warming byproduct.

log log has been a thing for several decades.

Can you put Linux on a mac Mini?

You don't know until you try. Going to Jupiter is not like going to the corner store for milk. Let's call it the "Musk Approach".

Yes, but in the marine realm they are consistently called outboard motors and not outboard engines.

I recently had the experience of wiping windows of an Asus laptop I bought and the process was trickier than usual. It turns out that the 'USB Image Writer' that comes with linux a…

And casinos apparently.

The battery can also be charged by regenerative braking, which also allows the brakes to last much longer.

I have a LG Smart TV that I use as a dumb TV that's driven by a Asus pn51 "palm of our hand" computer running Linux Mint. Finally a Logitech MX Ergo 'thumb ball bluetooth mouse' al…

Yes, that's for the legacy students (now pushing 50%) who can well afford it. The gifted students get a subsidy so they can afford to attend and everyone is happy, almost.

My recollection is that gparted wouldn't allow me to adjust any partitions until I loosened up the available space in the system partition. I guess gparted checks all the partition…

All households run on the edicts of Communism. "From each according to their ability; to each according to their need". Unfortunately, it doesn't scale.

Let's put credit where credit is due. VisiCalc.

It could be and it could not be. We won't really know until we try.

I ran into a similar situation not long ago on the system partition of a linux installation. The partition was too small to begin with and as new updates piled up there was almost …

Fake it 'til you make it.

That's good news because soon enough all beef will be grown in the lab and the river water can be used for something more useful.

This list is heavy on the Caribbean, I wonder what makes them so jumpy about camouflage clothing?

Yes it does but it's the lambda symbol that's the impostor. An analogy of how it really works is to think of the transmitter as a water hose that is spraying water into a bucket, w…

I thought those solar panels are designed to survive hail stone storms.

It's because energy created by the transmitter must degrade as one over R squared in the far field. The frequency (or wavelength, have your pick) has nothing to do with the energy …

For sure they do not work the way the "Path Loss Equation" would have you believe they do. The path loss equation violates conservation of energy ie the frequency or wavelength ter…
