    Without providing definitions of "True / Mostly True / Misleading / False" to each rater, I rate the article's claim that "Only one verdict bucket can be correct per claim" as fals…

    If you're comfortable with microcontrollers (esp32/arduino), I can definitely recommend Inkplate. I found them when I was making a similar setup for my parents, and they have vario…

    It depends on the specifics of your format, but we’ve had success embedding the questions and answers separately. If either match, you return the complete question and answer text.…

    I think your math is correct, and it will be very limited compared to a real-life retina screen, but I think there's also a perceived resolution increase from having binocular visi…

    This a strange framing, because the implication is that small cars are much less safe than others. But this article doesn't mention anything at all about SUVs/trucks. A quick searc…

    The argument is that the "simpleness" of the doorbell isn't a good heuristic for the amount of impact. According to wikipedia [1], the transformer on a standard doorbell can use 2-…

    You might want to take a look at the Citroën Ami. 6000 euro including VAT. Not sure which country you're in, but it seems more likely that something street legal in France would wo…

    Depending on your climate and what you mean by "windows cracked", you would be much better off with a heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system. They have the explicit purpose of pull…

    It looks like there could be a reasonable explanation for this. There are apps that have different behavior whether or not there is text in the clipboard (e.g. enabling a "paste" b…

    Yes, but it seems like the grandparent was trying to fit in every polysyllabic word they could find. They're saying that some groups tend to have more children and some have fewer.…

    Today's XKCD is a direct response to this line of thinking: https://xkcd.com/2278/ Just because something hasn't happened yet does not mean it's completely unpredictable. COVID-19 …

    In the past I've had success using Parametrek to find good deals (and then doing my homework on the seller to make sure they're legit): http://batteries.parametrek.com/index.html?s…

    The energy density of gas makes it incredibly useful for storage and transportation as well. For example, Tesla's 50MWh battery installation in Australia has the same energy as onl…

    Google Calendar is built around notifications and coordination, which both require an agreed upon "actual" time. The feature set you're looking for sounds more like an "agenda" to …

    If there is a clear benefit of collecting and disposing the urine somewhere else, this seems like a good use of regulation/taxation/credits. Have a credit/tax that captures the val…
