A good way to deal with tinnitus is by trying to find sounds/background noise to tone it down or drown it out (and by drowning out I mean not loud, more like a gentle distraction). This can be anything from the sound of the rain, a sh

For some good examples how to teach technical and mechanic concepts concerning maintenance check Out PS, The Preventive Maintenance Monthly. It's a series of US Army technical bulletins published since June 1951 as a monthly magazine w

Have you tried the Amiga version? Back in the days. It had the same mechanics but it was a lot more polished with graphics and sound. Plus loading was a lot faster!

I was a backer on "buy Jeri some coffee"-level. Too bad it didn't pan out but they tried. At least we have a chance that Jeri might do a few new videos now.

It's a neat product comparison site but it seems to be missing various models. At my first try I already missed the Renkforce 3D printer series from Conrad Electronic (EU/German) (rf100, rf500, rf1000, rf2000). Maybe it's too

Dr. Steve Savage's blog: "Applied Mythology" is a good start. http://appliedmythology.blogspot.com/ But I wonder what is "subtle anti-ag" or "blatantly pro-ag" means in this context. Can y

I remember this from when I stumbled upon it way back (2003?). Back then under the title "when zeppelins attack". It is indeed a nice internet evergreen. Once in awhile these pop up (in original or updated form) for a new generati

Most readers only know him as a statistician, gapminder (which he founded) and the ted talks but he also had a medical background and was prepared to go straight to work during the Ebola outbreak in Monrovia. He called and jumped right in.

Agreed, an iPad with goodreader is the way to go (in particular its notetaking and extensive file management options). I might even go for the 12.9" pro model at some point but the standard 9.7" model is enough for most pdf's

This has been coming for quite a while. The IARC seems to have its own agenda and it isn't always based on scientific integrity. Good start for those who want to know what's been going on should check out David Zaruk's site.

I concur, this was one of those classic series I had planned to see for years and recently bought the blu-ray edition. I wasn't disappointed. Thanks to 35mm it really shines on Blu-ray. It's remarkable that McGoohan got a free han

I'm reminded of this cartoon about an inventor who demonstrates a teleportation device. Shows you don't have to go all technical or write an economic treatise about emulated humans for important philisophical questions. It can be

I recognize and played a lot of them all back in the day. Only things missing are Commando and Ghost & Goblins (I can still hum the tune!). Amazing what they could do with the SID chip back then. Most PC's and homecomputers in the

Thanks, the Amplio used the original Civ2 sprite resolution and colour palette as a starting point. It seems to have hold up well. There's also some layout logic at work. If you look at the way the units are aligned in the tileset you

Old Freeciv unit graphic developer speaking up here...The current Freeciv graphics you see in-game set is called "Amplio". It has been tweaked throughout the years (10?) but still based mostly on the original Amplio set. Creating

Are we talking about classic incinerators (simply burn stuff) or plasma arc (gasification)incinerators? With plasma arc gasifications the temperatures are so high (2,200 to 13,900 °C) that all the waste and any resulting toxic byproducts,
