That's really interesting. For me, I very much do NOT enjoy the taste of truffles in restaurant dishes because it's often so overbearing. I just don't find the flavor interesting, and it's very singular. Perhaps I would

This is a great resource for why Starship is groundbreaking. So much so, it’s not even really comprehensive to the existing space-industrial complex. https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2021/10/28/starship-is-s

Check out this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF_9YcehCZo The source code isn't hiding in a repo somewhere for security reasons — it's spread around on various pieces of paper and computers over the last 50

It's not quite that simple: https://carnegiemuseums.org/magazine-archive/1997/mayjun/dep... However, one misnomer remains true — a Strawberry isn't actually a 'berry'.

Awesome! That is a vastly more complex machine and action than I was expecting. Seems like there is more to the process than just flipping it over.

Unfortunately since it’s an active feature it requires power, meaning any wired headset will require a battery or other power source. A wired headset plus my mixer gives me an opportunity to tinker and upgrade my setup as I wish, and is all

It really does surprise me too. Myself and my team are all technical sales folks with engineering backgrounds, and we naturally optimize for this sort of thing — all of us have some form of “advanced” setup that’s been informed by each othe

I optimized for this style setup about a year into the pandemic, but using a Beyerdynamic MX300 wired gaming headset. The headset is closed-back, so to get voice feedback ("sidetone") I use an inexpensive Behringer XENYX USB302 mi

I highly recommend trying a restaurant supply store, like Chef's Toys. Most of them don't require a business license to go to (the ones that do typically sell food items). They sell primarily to commercial kitchens and restaurants

Love the retro design, but from the looks of it, it's a heavy and fairly bulky item to drag around. I know there is no Pi 5 variant of the compute module yet, but it seems like a safe assumption one is on the way — if your goal is to d

They specifically called out "We get to see how businesses operate under the US government policies when they act on the web " — it's not a specific dig on Android.

I helped my mom transplant a large agave plant and got in contact with a considerable amount of sap in the process — it's extremely uncomfortable and it took probably 3 months for the resulting rash to go away on my inner arms. The irr

You can use a USB C connector with standard USB, no interface chip required. It's simply a connector form-factor change.

Do you have a service or an individual you’d recommend? My fiancé’s mom has some old film from their childhood that is meaningful to them, and we’re considering gifting them some digitization services if we can find someone to help.

I respect your space to air your opinions, but you are not doing so in a respectful or persuasive way. I'm sorry for whatever experiences have made you feel like dogs have no place in modern society. I wholeheartedly disagree. At no po

As the owner of a shelter dog, sounds like a terrible idea. A dog can be provoked — a company much less so.

If people are willing to pay it, is it really so bad? Charging what the market will bear is a core capitalist principle and seems like good business to me.

100% correct and I appreciate the additional details! I couldn't come up with a good analogy to explain you want the emitter as a separate and unique element from everything else involved in a tube — oversimplified in the process.

by Ductapemaster 2y ago
Current into a low-resistance "heater" element is used to produce the heat required for Thermionic Emission [0] in a vacuum tube. You only need the heater/emitter to be hot, and insulating the tubes would just spread the heat

Ahh good memories. Over the summer in college, I made a pretty advanced propane-powered one with an integral mixing fan for the chamber and an cheap taser for electronic ignition. Fired every time. Had great fun with my roommates shooting t

I understand what you’re trying to say here and I agree we should be careful prescribing lifestyle changes for serious cases of depression (or any disease for that matter). However, there are a significant number of people out there who _do

You should check out a company called Loyal — they’re making lifespan increasing drugs for dogs of all sizes!

I’m not a rocket scientist but I do know the two rockets use different propellants. The Atlas V uses solid propellant, and the Starship uses liquid. I know liquid engines have the ability to throttle them, and I would guess solid does not (

So say they mark them down to some reasonable level — they are still supply constrained and now the line just gets longer. It doesn’t really fix anything. Pricing allows them to prioritize their customers, which seems reasonable.

While all of this is true, there is a monopoly on distribution. Doesn’t matter where it comes from if one entity owns the pipes.

Thank you for sharing this! I read this a long time ago and promptly lost the link, despite me coming back to the principles often.
