There was a man arrested in Santa Clara county because his DNA was tracked to a murder scene by the paramedics that treated him before they were called to the scene of the murder. He only got away with it because the public defender realize

Friend of mine was a English teacher. She quit because she's not going to waste her time 'grading' 30 essays written by AI. Anyway before that she HATED the thesaurus. And she could tell when students were using it to make th

Some comment I read I keep coming back to. They (elites) will risk everything to give up nothing. The same elites that were telling us we can't have electric cars because the power grid can't support them are now building massive

I stumbled on something also interesting. The oxygen from photosynthesis comes from water not CO2. So all the energy from food is essentially from splitting water. Also I think I read in a book on aeronautics which was published in the 1950

Solar farms produce 50 times more energy per acre than corn grown for ethanol. A rabbit hole I started working down was how much ammonia would cost is the hydrogen was from electrolysis power by solar. It's sort of competitive. Whack b

The Renesas RTC divides the 32khz clock by 256. And after waking up doesn't update the shadow registers till the next tick. So if you wake out of deep sleep you don't know what the time is for 8ms. I know of one that draws 0.5uA i

That's gold. That hardware real time clocks keep time in date and time drives me batty. And no one does the right thing which is just a 64 bit counter counting 32khz ticks. Then use canned tested code to convert that to butt scratchin
