The first one looks like the Bacardi logo with a dragon instead of a bat and the second one looks like a Charmander. I think the second one is interesting because most art I see with baby dragons look more dragon-like and less salamander.

The Pico W may not have been in stock for you yet. I believe the earliest it shipped from vendors was July 5th, so it's probably worth your while to keep checking back.

I love states that have these kinds of clear explanations of their laws.

"Assault" seems correct here. Broadly speaking, charges for threatening someone with a knife and then screaming you'll beat them up will usually be some flavor of "assault," be it aggravated, attempted, or whatever

Not many active duty officers have CCWs these days because of LEOSA, though reserve officers don't always qualify and will get a CCW instead. Plenty of politicians, celebrities, judges, and CEOs, though.

It's hard to overstate how awesome fractals are. Thanks for sharing this! I'm on mobile, so the fractal got squished into a thin strip on the left side of the screen, but turning to landscape or desktop modes fixes it.

Derp! I got this confused with the PNA-X, which is a four port VNA that does 110GHz with additional heads. Thanks for the correction. Remember, caffeine first, then internet.

Rohde & Schwarz has the ZVA, but that's a two port unit while Keysight has 4. I haven't seen anyone else come close. As for hobbyists... I'd love to hear of a hobby project that could make use of this. Edit: Yeah, I'

They were. It would be trivial to point to a time in the past when things were better than 2019, naturally, but the economy was growing, unemployment was shrinking, labor force participation was increasing, inflation was low. Some portions

The article is from 2019 and things were in pretty good shape then, though I do think the author's broader point about the concerns of journalists not really aligning with the concerns of everyone else does still hold true.

This is sounding like a Frankenstein's Monster built from a performance art troup and a reputation management company, maybe with a sprinkling of a staffing agency. It...sounds like something that might even have a proper niche if some

Potassium Chloride is sold as a sodium-free table salt substitute and will give you far more decay events per second than a banana. I'd have to double check the decay rate in a kilo of KCl vs background radiation, but even if the decay

It has a pretty thorough feature set baked in and extra scripts and coding shouldn't be needed. It can fetch balances and transactions directly from your banks, though I need to check if that's automatically run or manually trigge

You're also making a great point about Gnucash: We're both using it differently, but it works well for us. That kind of flexibility is golden.

It was the second one, The Dark Knight, when Batman captures the mob accountant in Hong Kong and returns him to Gotham. It would be a pretty memorable scene in any other movie, but just about everything got upstaged by Heath Ledger.

Gnucash. Not that hard to learn and use, free, libre, and pretty solid community support. It's served me really well for several years including some changes in my financial situation and complexity.

Apparently it's the most K.I.S.S. method of being able to check on a device that requires surgery to work on, but yeah, it can lead to nasty surprises.

Pacemakers have reed switches so a magnet placed over them will turn off heart rate sensing and switch to a fixed rhythm, which iPhone users found out about recently when Apple added magnets to their phone. Other than stuff like that, I dou

I get where you're coming from, but have you met our wildlife? Even the notoriously anti gun Canadians will make exceptions for polar bears and moose.

Considering that about 266,000[1] people are injured by burglars per year, deaths included, I'm not seeing how the resident being able to shoot back is making anything "less safe" for anyone except for the burglar, which I&#x

You read that right or we're both reading it wrong. I'm guessing the cucumber was an early prototype of the gelled water shaped charges, or he has a very...energetic...hatred of salads.

How about an iron age snail? It lives near deep sea vents and uses iron minerals in its shell and scales on its foot. It also has symbiotic bacteria in its gut so it doesn't feed directly. https://morethanadodo.com/2015

As others have pointed out, you're describing nonplanar printing. If you really want to have fun you should look into 5 axis 3D printing, which can not only do the nonplanar stuff you're talking about but also tilt the head to pri

Ducks are also lousy at being platypuses, to be fair. Either way, best of luck to you and your new egg laying mammal!

It's supposed to really shine with procedurally generated geometry, like fractals, where code really is a more efficient way to describe your object. Some people are also more comfortable describing things with code, so it's usefu

California requires[0] new construction to have solar now, so while you might not have to worry about installing it you very well may be stuck with a system if you move. I'm not sure I agree with your assertion that increased solar ins

I also love the blurb they have: "Note: This technology is projected to be capable of flying through a flock of birds, volcanic ash, smoke, and sand without skipping a beat, as well as the highest altitude flying capability that exists
