The feasibility of this is completely determined by the insulation and albedo of the house. Working around the thermal inertia of the house is tricky, blasting the AC hard at night…

They wouldn't be. We limit ourselves to current or near current technology for these analysis or you can easily get into the realms of hypotheticals very easily. If you say that th…

Looks like the issue is the feed stock, non-uniform particle size distribution and significant differences in aspect ratio. All the different pieces are clumping up because of the …

With all due respect to Garneau, I don't think the statement that he wouldn't hesitate to get on a max 8 doesn't really mean much considering he willingly flew 3 times on the most …

Isn't the alternative an abandonment of the 737 max 8 series from international carriers? The US currently has the largest aviation market but it's growing globally. Airbus has the…

Out of curiosity, under the assumption you had kids, was your parenting style the anti pattern to helicopter parenting?

Dave from EEVblog does that a lot, found a new fancy 4k TV in the trash, managed to fix it by reflowing a single chip, works like a charm now.

They were very mass limited, you only get 1kg of lifting ability per cube of gas.

1)Your wrong, they have 28billion barrels equivalent in proven reserves 2)they make more than that because they're vertically integrated

You can get nibs tuned and modified, I once had the opportunity to use a VP with a reverse oblique nib, changes everything.

Well, give it a couple years for Canada to figure it out.

Easier to just burry it, treating it for use in combustion systems wouldn't be worth it given the energy density is low. Better off using Sabatier process with excess solar at that…

Cause someone murdered the leading scientist in the field. Also there's concerns that it'd be too easy to turn it essentially into a very long range, highly effective weapon that c…

If anyone is planning on following this, make sure to read up about how to properly handle HF before you touch it. That shit is time delayed death in a bottle, and make sure to get…
