Although your bill might only show one bundled price depending on who supplies and delivers your electricity, the cost of electricity in the US usually includes both a "supply" or …

It depends on the climate where you live though, right? Where I am there's plenty of congestion. There's also plenty of rain, snow, slush, and road construction. The snow removal a…

I'm also in the northeast US (more specifically New England) and that's the issue I couldn't get around when I looked into it. My AC unit is only 1.5 tons but my furnace is 40k BTU…

The second sentence of the article is > A strange tip had arrived from Belgium’s gambling commission. I can't speak to Belgium specifically, but in many areas one of the responsibi…

Five tests of "I made a pot of tea" on the other hand were far less successful. 1. "I have made a teaspoon" 2. "I lived in a stain" 3. "I'm drinking tea" 4. "I have made a single p…

The languages it gets translated to aren't deterministic so I put the same sentence in 10 times. I was curious if a simple statement that has a conceptual equivalent in many cultur…

>The FDA approved Tezpire as a breakthrough drug for asthma in December 2021. Tezspire excluded morbidly obese people from their efficacy trials. This statement is very misleading …

To me, a lot of this reads more like some sort of "Team/Company Values and Culture" document than the user manual of a single individual. Things like "Default to action" are pretty…

The requirement the GP was referring to comes from the combination of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) rath…

By how much and why the cost of labor has changed over time is an interesting question. I'd assume that the bulk of the cost of labor is wages, but there are some other direct and …

I'd guess personal preference of the musicians themselves is part of the reason microtones aren't more common in "western" music. Most of the musicians that I personally know at le…

Someone who works in medical research once pointed out to me that some research is intended to be confirmatory (i.e. confirming a hypothesis) but other research is actually intende…

After reading the actual submission by Apple that the article links to, I think the article (especially the title) somewhat misrepresents what Apple said. The overview section of A…

In freight "backhaul" typically refers to transporting goods during the return journey. During the principle (non-return) journey, often the starting location is more central, like…

I don't tend to experience hunger and, as a result, interrupting my activities to eat multiple times per day can feel like a bit of an inconvenience. So I've frequently fasted dail…

I used to work for a small tech company in the suburbs outside of St Louis, which is definitely not a HCOL area. When I left (to move back to a HCOL tech hub), probably about half …

Assuming you're deleting the row because it shouldn't be used by read queries, constraints like you described prevent the problem of having orphaned records in the child table but …

Did they make risk adjustments for any confounding factors? It seems like all they found is correlation so it doesn't necessarily follow that eating mushrooms was actually the reas…

Not a doctor but I have seen a neurologist for migraine before and my understanding is that migraine causes a pretty unique constellation of symptoms. If someone has repeated episo…

Personally I like leading commas for the ergonomics rather than the aesthetics. When I'm developing or debugging a query the first column is typically the one I'm least likely to c…

My understanding is that fear of not being able to fall asleep often contributes to the perpetuation of insomnia. So while the recommendation of CBT-I might be helpful, if the book…

Listening requires allowing your conversation partner to fill the silence with their thoughts rather than filling it with yours. So at the risk of pointing out the obvious, to impr…

An option for entry-level remote work that might be worth looking into is working as an insurance claims adjuster. I work for a company that makes software for the insurance indust…

Back in 1926 when Monsanto was a chemical manufacturer they incorporated the village of Monsanto, Illinois (later renamed Sauget) and had a chemical plant constructed there. The vi…

Awhile ago I read a blog post by someone who had stuck to an uberman schedule longer than most. From what I remember social pressure was part of the reason he stopped but more than…
