Enjoy! This year one of my favorite crops has been carrots-I have never grown them before for just that reason. My first bite was an eye opening experience. I had no idea that there could be so much more flavor.

Interesting! I was having a conversation last weekend with a friend when I asked "How many objects can you count without counting, you just know the answer". I didn't know the name for it. For me the answer is three, four if

Regarding your last point, sometimes I will say "the stupidest thing that could possibly work". This is an idea that could work, but has serious and obvious flaws. I find that once a team gets used to it, saying out loud a stupid

I suppose that could be in seaweed caviar's favor - if they all taste, smell, and look different, maybe it can fit right in?

Oh, good point. I looked at the wrong map. I was looking at the mercury contamination map on the Wiki page; which is based on 1999 data.

That map is also 20 years old. Edit: I looked at the wrong map.

Be careful dropping glass bottles into recycling bins too; they pose nearly the same problem - they don't usually shatter and the sound escapes the bin upwards towards you.

Raised floors would be hard to keep clean in a hospital.

Sure, that may be the cause. My theory has been that the paper to wet matter ratio is high in the paper direction, causing a wicking effect that dries the bin contents quickly.

It is customary to put the dirty side down or to fold the dirty paper in half.

I have, and I live in the US and continue to do so. The small bin doesn't seem to smell, and is easy to tie the bag and toss it in the trash bin. I haven't had to unclog a toilet in years.

A couple times in a hurry when I can't get any help, I've cut it myself and taken a picture of the sku on the shelf. That seemed to get me through checkout.

It is most similar to the effect of electrostatic charges. The effect of a point charge is the inverse square of distance, the effect of a line charge is the inverse of distance, and the effect of an infinite plane has no relation to distan

My number one complaint of shopify is that they require email first to see shipping, which means I'll get a "what's wrong? Forgot your cart?" Email later that day.

They would get a paper map? You can buy, print, or draw maps.

It is the same result as infinite planar light sources or infinite planar electrostatic charges. Move the test particle a small delta above or below the napkin, and the result will become apparent.

I would like to add control-g to the list. It is frustrating for new emacs users that it can be easy to get stuck. Control-g is the general "quit" which will get you back to editing text from most annoying situations.

I would say that it doubles the cost of backups, but using this math, we start with one copy plus one backup, and add a second backup; that means only a 50% increase.

I worked on a data logger project that required solar power in the mountains. We had to size the batteries for the longest expected run of cloudy days, then size the solar panel to be able to nearly charge the battery bank in one day, since

My wife and I use the same system, and I would say no. We both tend to save ours and then spend more some months than others.

In my experience learning to ride a regular longboard takes about 10 hours of practice across 5+ sessions. Learning to ride a boosted board to the same level of competence is a half hour endeavor. Really, the hard part of skateboarding is p

I see the key as being benefit of all students (university has more money) vs benefit of one (bribe).

Very interesting observation. I started listening to audiobooks during my commute and have had more trouble sleeping recently. I chalked it up to overall stress, but now that I think of it, I used to spend that time thinking.

I have had good luck in the battle against aphids on my kale by spraying them with a (1:1) mixture of 70% rubbing alcohol and water with a small amount of dish soap (I use about one sponge load worth in a full spray bottle).

I have spent some time living in one of these tall thin Chinese towers. They have benefits that are not at apparent at first glance. Since they are thin every room can have a window and they have good airflow. Since they are high density pu

Nuclear energy is a good example of the situation that self-driving cars find themselves. A common saying in my industry is that with safety critical systems you do not get to decide whether the systems kill people or not, the best you can

You bring up some valid points, yet I remain a used car advocate. A used car does not mean an old car. The last car I purchased was two years old and in quite nice condition. It has a rear view camera, heated seats and steering wheel, and a

It is not to the level of c&h, but the only comic I regularly check is questionable content. I have loved seeing the authors style develop over the years and enjoy the story.

Same story here. I started with stripe, and constantly got emails asking to add PayPal. I get about the same rate of PayPal vs stripe.
