Gunpowder based nail guns for putting nails into concrete are definitely a thing. Additionally you can use certain attachments or rounds with guns for breaching doors. https://en.m…

Indeed. I just remembered I was using their DNS service and disabled it because clearly they can't be trusted.

Australia does have some geographic and climate advantages when it comes to solar installations. Most of the interior is basically desert. It also helps that it has one of the lowe…

Reminder that you'd need either equivalent backing storage and overprovisioning (not yet feasible except in the rare cases where pumped hydro can be built) or backing fossil fuel p…

Only dual frequency? Triple frequency for L-band corrections is all the rage these days. If you have that you can get close to RTK accuracy anywhere (with good sky view).

Well most offline devices don't take minutes now except for the first fix in a long time. It's generally around 30 seconds to a minute. Usually the almanac is stored in non-volatil…

That's not necessarily true. Fuel taxes and registration pay for road construction and most railway construction is heavily subsidized by governments.

Rather they should only do what you let them. It's nonsensical that mobile OSes don't let you fake certain permissions being enabled (for example having a location spoofing option)…

Except busses and airplane flights tend to be much cheaper than train tickets there (excluding subways/local trains). If trains were so efficient that would likely be shown in the …

For some reason I thought this was about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-square_algorithm

One fix would be to have the owner pay for heating/cooling costs of the structure. My apartment pays for the heating so as a result the place is very well insulated even though it …

I'm not sure fusion is the breakthrough most think it will be. https://www.science.org/content/article/fusion-power-may-run... It seems like for it to even have a chance we need to…

Irrigation water is only cheap from a demand perspective. There is no subsidy in that case, simply the lack of a free market and poor resource allocation.

Unless they get a tax refund from it, it absolutely is not a sum of money granted to them. In reality the government is simply just punishing all other businesses that can't take t…

Plenty of people use rail in the US just for carrying goods instead of people. It turns out trains are most efficient at hauling large loads with high tolerances for latency, which…

If only it was dead. It's still alive and kicking in military development environments pushed down from above by management.

If they knew most people would pick them, then why are they paying?

Rolling your wrist to scroll and just accepting the poor visibility on part on the screen could still be pretty good.

It's just as easy for a machine to throw away and not count your vote. Most machines actually print out encoded paper ballots that have all the same vulnerabilities but are usually…

Phone manufacturers didn't offer services before. In this case Apple is the carrier (much like a MVNO) for the service.

Gotta save that 1 character yet require hitting shift to cancel it out.

I got practically no sleep on mine since they just had me in a standard cabin (like in Harry Potter). Bench seats are just not for sleeping on. It would be much better off with air…

They seem pretty common to me: https://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/power/kohler-30-39-...
