Environment Canada assumes 60 km on their Weatheradio page ( https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services... ), so that's what I went with. Having said that, I very…

Here's a map I put together of the Weatheradio (one "r"!) service coverage in Canada, assuming each station has a range of 60 km: https://www.keacher.com/files/dir12/weatheradio_ma…

That was exactly my thought when reading the article and my personal experience with Covid. For a couple weeks, I perceived a persistent smell of something burning.

Golf courses in the USA used about 2.1 billion gallons of water per day circa 2004 [1]. In other words, the annual usage of Amazon's datacenters per the article, 7.7 billion gallon…

Per NIST[1], the value is 0.7204% +/- 0.0006%, with the uncertainty representing one standard deviation. [1] https://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/Compositions/stand_alone.pl...

Current evidence is that PSA tests don't actually save lives: https://thennt.com/nnt/psa-test-to-screen-for-prostate-cance... I wish they did, of course. I personally lost a close …

For what it's worth, /r/welding seems to think this claim is complete bunk: https://www.reddit.com/r/Welding/comments/1khd9aj/this_is_co...

Goes back at least slightly before that, as I've had 2038epochalypse.com registered since March 2017, but I can't recall whether I thought I was being clever or whether I heard it …

My first thought as well! Here's the scene for those who are unaware: https://youtu.be/90eg_erObDo?si=E0ZbU_k-H7ANLqcZ&t=179

Awesome! I love seeing how the blocks are affected by twiddling bits.

Ultra-fast rise-time pulse generators! Yeah, hardware -- or, hooray, hardware! A few months back, I got excited about pulse generators that had rise times on the order of 15 to 30 …

Indeed. I've unsubscribed from all subreddits that have become infested with political content, and I've "unfollowed" all of my acquaintances on Facebook and LinkedIn who post anyt…

Under $100: a Knipex pliers wrench. Best hand-tool ever! I originally got just the 7.25" size, but now I own everything from even shorter ones to much longer ones. I use them all o…

Unfortunately, that link between vagotomy and reduced risk of PD hasn't been supported by subsequent studies. In fact, it wasn't really even supported by the initial study[1]: alth…

On those days, I like to switch from work on the computer to work with my hands, like wrenching on a project in the garage. It won't get me any progress on my computer-based work, …

Still quite common to encounter elemental cadmium in other contexts, too. I'm around it all the time while working on my race cars where (at least in amateur circuit racing in Nort…

While well-intentioned, I wonder if this will lead to something like the "sesame" debacle[1], in which is becomes far cheaper and easier for companies to deliberately design digita…
