I don’t know what world you’re living in, but even if the government “steals” 50% of your 850k you’re not living like any sort of pauper on 425k net. That’s just ridiculous.

Setting the expectation that people should be able to afford a house with cash to be comfortable is quite a leap. If you’re making 850k/yr (1M/yr minus apples cut) then you are making more than the vast majority of people in the B

I know what it claims to be. At what ratios seem important to me, as not everything in coffee is the greatest for you. Something that has literally nothing potentially bad for you in it (eg co2 process) seems like it would by necessity be h

That’s a shorthand for modern processes. Older process technology was made before 300mm wafers were standard, and retrofitting old processes to use larger wafers is generally considered to be not worth the cost since all the tooling is depr

Citation needed. It’s possible it may taste the best, but I am skeptical of your claim that it is the healthiest. One of the common methods of decaffeinating coffee uses supercritical CO2, which is in my view significantly less scary than t

This is done in many places. The problem is that a lot of silicon dies the die costs much more than the package. There’s a limit to how small you can make pins on a package for manufacturing onto a PCB, so if you need a certain number of pi

You don’t generally want to compensate, as impedance that isn’t flat doesn’t necessarily mean that the output SPF isn’t flat.

Honestly I don’t know what reasonable headphone output today has these high output impedances. They’re all class D amplifiers with quite low impedance directly to the power supply. This 1/8th rule is kind of pointless… you just specify

Research shows that 0.8g per kg of body weight is the absolute minimum recommended for individuals with minimal physical activity. If you are attempting to become fit, research suggests you want at least 1.3g per kg for moderate activity. H

Sounds like you’re buying into fear mongering on deadlifts, frankly. You do have to have good form, but it’s not some insurmountable task. And a singular injury is extremely unlikely to ruin your back forever. There’s also multiple variatio

For some reason it’s a trend on German cars like BMW or VWs. Specifically rusting the hood, but leaving the rest of the body panels painted. Some even go for an even coating on the whole car. https://www.vwvortex.com/threads

Just because it will take longer for an EV equivalent of an F250 to exist (and frankly, I think such a vehicle is a lot closer than you think) doesn’t mean it makes any sense whatsoever for a dual vehicle household. Again, a relatively smal

by Kirby64 3y ago
The amount of people that need an F250 is vanishingly small. For a two car household, they’d be much better suited with a Model Y and a smaller car, perhaps an older Nissan Leaf or something gas. If you actually, truly, need a truck, you pr

You generally can. The problem is that the batteries are generally so specific to the car, you can't just swap them out with any random battery and expect the same performance. Additionally, given the immense power most battery packs p

That is a cut. A cut is literally any calorie deficit from maintenance. If you lose weight by changing your diet (or energy expenditure while keeping diet the same) by definition you’re on a cut. Most people that deliberately do this would

Is this a surprise at all? Fruit juice is just soda with maybe some different vitamins in terms of calories. No satiety, and but lots of calories.

There is a similar requirement for PCB manufacturing known as 'Thieving' - If you don't have a certain amount of copper, plating will not be uniform. See: https://resources.altium.com/p/what-thieving-pcbs

Not necessarily. If people are differentially biased to report higher cup counts when their actual caffeine strength is lower (because, for instance, they drink 6 cups of instant coffee), then that will have large implications on the study.

Comparing worst case kWh pricing with highest mpg and average gas prices seems a bit unfair, no? If you’re going to compare California power prices, why not compare to average California gas prices which are more like $4.50/gal?

Prep method matters so much though. For comparison, a standard double shot of espresso is typically 18g of coffee. This would yield approximately 110mg of caffeine. By comparison, the same 18g brewed using a pour over method should yield an

Per the article, "Habitual coffee intake was self-reported as cups per day, as part of the touchscreen questionnaire at base line with the question ‘How many cups of coffee do you drink a day?’ " Sounds like it's based on the

Measuring extraction ratio on coffee is difficult and wildly varies based on preparation method. The standard “cup” assumes 4oz of coffee, using 5oz of brew water (so, 1oz stays in the coffee grounds as waste). I believe there’s also a stan

The scientific definition of a 'cup' of coffee is important. Usually this is defined as 4 ounces of brewed coffee, which means a normal mug of coffee (which can fit something like 10 oz) would be 2.5 cups! So, for most people&#x27

This is not true. Besides continuous shuffler machines, most casinos have 6 or 8 deck games that have plenty of 'penetration' (card counter term for depth into the deck that the cut card is placed) to offer an edge if you properly

That total weight is the GVWR number, which is intended to be the maximum design weight, beyond which the manufacturer will tell you you’ve overloaded the vehicle. It’s not the actual weight of the car.

You should double check those numbers. The XC40 combustion car is 3800-3950 lbs. The EV version is 4600-4800 lbs. 20% more, which is certainly something but not nearly 50%. Comparable cars in the sedan category are only typically 10-20% mor

Presumably in a smaller apartment setting, you don't have any need for such a large TV (or sound system). It should scale appropriately and provide the similar experience at an even cheaper price. A 48" OLED TV, for instance, is m
