Thank you for this. I grew up outside the scene but it is so encouraging to see things like this celebrated.

I just looked up Cochrane ON because I hadn't heard of it before and yeah, it seems a bit of a mystery to me why it isn't more settled. I live around Edmonton where farming is a ma…

My armchair assessment is that both will have their uses. 80/20 is 3-4x the price, but is lighter and more rigid than EMT conduit. EMT conduit is sold everywhere and will be more u…

Swimmers on edge lanes get affected more, and they leave the outside lanes unoccupied except for the first stage of qualifying.

You can't use LFP batteries as a direct replacement in your UPS, no. The voltages and charge characteristics are different. What you can do is replace the UPS with a portable batte…

I was recently surprised how bad Google results had gotten. Way back when I used Python heavily a google search would return results from python.org. When my kids were learning pyt…

Yes, this is very true. In my case, I think my weight loss from mountain biking comes from riding hills I wouldn't normally (and often pushing up hills), eating better (I'm not sit…

Agreed, I just learned that the next formula for Formula E will eventually have charging stops. The spec will allow 5kwh of charge in 30 seconds, which is 10% SoC in their case. Pr…

So production isn't really subsidized in the traditional sense. Producers actually pay quite a bit in royalties and taxes, and employ people, who also pay taxes. It's more about th…

For context, Alberta oil sands have an energy ratio of about 4 to 1, meaning it takes one barrel of oil to produce 4 barrels. The world average is about 17 to 1 with your typical S…

http://www.45drives.com/blog/ceph/what-is-ceph-why-our-custo... is a pretty good introduction. Basically you can take off-the-shelf hardware and keep expanding your storage cluster…

The truth is almost stranger than fiction. They are members of a group called Dragon Sector and were brought in by the train operator after 6 of their 12 largest trains became unre…

Not the person you're asking, but it might also be where it is installed. The connector I looked up online is rated to +40C, and being located in direct sunlight on a hot day could…

I have heard about it, but have no opinion on if it is true or false. https://cirosantilli.com/feynman-was-a-huge-womanizer-during...

It's an advantage because you as a botnet client have made the server side do extra work. You sent two packets, one to request a new connection, and a second to immediately cancel …

I think you misunderstand. I don't think the parent is saying fractional scaling is better than Windows, just that it sucks less than it used to and is almost usable now. X and Way…

Saint Helena has import tariffs like other colonies do. They used to have preferential rates for commonwealth countries but I'm not sure if that still exists. I guess my response w…

I've also found Ikea knives to hold an edge as long as my Victorinox knife. They are only stainless, but the alloy they use seems to work quite well.

No, migrating did involve intervention from the account holder. More information here: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ec2-classic-is-retiring-her... It seems like AWS spent time,…

Had a chuckle at this excerpt: "The guests feel struck with awe in that dining-room, and solemnly bolt their food as quickly as they can. You hear less noise in an American hotel d…

I currently work nights in the same timezone as dang. It should happen fairly soon, but normal people are just rolling out of bed right about now.

In retrospect you could say yes, but it was hard to tell. It ended up being either okay or not okay depending on Intel vs AMD and clock speed.

It should be fine to try. Some devices dual purpose the 120 volt transformer to both charge the battery and provide 120 VAC, but those have internal switching so the 120 VAC will s…

Eric O from the South Main Auto youtube channel has some great videos on tracking down parasitic drains on modern-ish cars. From his videos I learned that often cars won't fully sl…

Similarly the authors talk about how the multiline brackets were hand-drawn, and how could they be that precise? They might now know how common engineering stencils were for such t…
