250g bags are only 70% of the size of a 350g bag. Also, they don't seem to offer anything except blends. Their actual more expensive coffee (which even then, it's unclear if this is a blend or not) is 14 pounds a bag, which... whe

Again, this only takes basic experience in coffee/cafe drinks to understand this is true. The standard espresso based drinks are: espresso, cappuccino, latte, macchiato, cortado, flat white, americano, mocha, and a few other varieties.

They literally did this in the announcement for the cybercab. Look up the “Tesla Robovan”. It was clearly a proof of concept, but in theory it’s a good idea. Claimed to be able to seat 20 people.

The author is using a DLP projector to backlight the LCD. When the projector is displaying black it effectively is infinite contrast. The light is reflected away and never reaches the LCD to backlight it.

> The 4% rule suggests selling 4% of your principal per year. No, it doesn't. You misunderstand the 4% rule. The 4% rule states you sell 4% of your principal in the first year, then inflation-adjust the 4% value every year. If the s

Again, what do treasury yields have to do with the 4% rule? The 4% rule assumes you’re investing 60% in equities.

by Kirby64 2y ago
What does the 4% rule have to do with yields of treasuries? This is a 30-year time horizon that changes spending purely based on inflation figures. Yields in the market do not matter.

Assuming they do it correctly. There was a series of Pixel cases (the 9s, I think?) where they used the same alignment between the Pro and non-Pro Pixels on the case, despite the coils not being in the same location on the actual phones...

Just as well as any of the other ones for Android phones. Heck, you can even buy adhesive magnet rings to stick directly to any case or phone back, as long as you align them properly.

No, it’s literally a digital crop exactly like the other sensors that use 48MP sensors. There’s nothing magic here. I would be shocked if it’s anything different than the exact identical camera used in the base iPhone 15, quite frankly. The

They do, but most of the time they are smaller and cheaper. No need for huge cranking currents, really. The replacement for a Model 3 battery is about $90, for context.

Unless you live in a very cold environment, or drive a very inefficient/large EV, a standard 120V outlet is good for 3 miles of range per hour. If you can find a 20A outlet, usually that jumps to 5-6mph due to less overall fixed chargi

What, precisely, does a voron 2.4 offer over a Bambu X1C (or, more fairly, a P1P) that is worth the additional price (double a P1P) and the fact you have to assemble it yourself (which takes days)? I’m all for building something that offers

The same exact reason that accelerating quickly causes far more tire wear than accelerating slowly, only in reverse. By applying more torque to brake/accelerate, you cause more lateral force on the tires (think, smearing the rubber its

What's your point? There's likely a few 1800W kettles that exist too. They are not common, and you definitely will never see anything above 1800W (outside of maybe some specialized commercial product designed for an 20A outlet) in

We can agree they're less common than the UK, but saying they have "no use case" is a gross exaggeration. Pretty much everyone I know owns a kettle, given how cheap they are (~$15-20 for an OK one). Great for hot chocolate, c

NEC code requires 2 separate 20 amp circuits in a kitchen. Usually they split the circuits across a countertop or window. It's been code since ... as far as I can tell, pretty much forever. Unless you're living in a house that is

On average, group 1 underreported their intake by 47% (with one standard deviation being the range of 31-66%). They also overreported their physical intake by an average of 51% (with one standard deviation being a range of -24% to 126% over

What power supply do you have that even has a 20A inlet? 20 amp breakers are common for outlets (especially in newer builds) but the outlets are still 15A outlets. And there is essentially no desktop power supply that exists that would exce

We do, but they’re limited to much lower wattage due to the outlet limits. A typical US kettle is 1100-1400W, and takes maybe 1-2 minutes to boil. Kettles in the UK are typically 2.5-3kW.

I’m aware we have 240V outlets. They are just not used in a place where you would put a PC. Until there is a shift in need (I.e., every normal user would need more than a 120V plug could handle), you won’t ever see 240V outlets in offices.

Until the US changes their AC power connectors, we just don’t have a use case for it frankly. When the entire system is going to always top out at 1200W or so (so you have an extra few hundred watts for monitors and such), we’re pretty limi

It's rarer, but it's the same type of amenity for a gym that has a sauna. Not all gyms have saunas either, but a certain type of gym does. Frankly, I don't understand your view either. The vast majority of folks do not have a

Cold water immersion or whatnot immediately after training or exercise is generally when it’s used. Similarly, if you did it right before exercise it would hamper exercise and increase injury risk purely due to lower blood flow through musc

Cold water plunges or cold water immersion have conclusively shown to reduce anabolic signaling [1]. If you’re training to become fit and build muscles, there is definitely a downside. It has benefits in terms of recovery, but that comes at

Random as in randomized rewards. Again, this is an identical mechanism to other rogue lite games. I disagree that this is equivalent to opening real packs of cards. Those have actual value and cost actual money. There is no meaningful time
