Every two weeks is the norm in the U.S. If I had to guess, it's an artifact from when people had to pick up their paper checks from their boss. Now with computerized direct deposits, I don't see why it can't be every week (o

Snow doesn't stick to your shoes the same way mud does. Snow shoes are meant to distribute your weight over a larger surface area to prevent you from sinking down. With mud, it's not so much sinking down as it is clinging to you

I guess any culture could be life-and-death then, including knitting, if you take into account suicide. It seems like you have a bone to pick since you are claiming things about me that aren't true, and I don't care to waste my ti

What did they hack? The materials not meant to be used in marine conditions? That couple sounds reckless, dangerous, and without regard to the consequences of their actions. Not exactly people I would picture as hackers.

Fun annecdote: I was in Tonga in 2008 with my original iPhone. I was walking down the street looking for WiFi, a lo and behold, I found some. It's name: PalaceWiFi, and I was indeed across the street from a palace. The WiFi wasn&#x2

USB-A to USB-C adapters are cheap. USB-A is past its prime. Your post contains only negative points. There will never be a perfect device because everyone has different wants, so enjoy it for what it is.

A scattering of small 8-kid daycares (like how the one in the article already is), is good for mixed residential use. An 8-kid daycare expanding to a 16-kid daycare is what the neighborhood fought against, and sounds like a reasonable to fi

I'm guessing the average phone size is about 155 square centimeters, or 1.5% of a square meter. Multiply that by 3 Watts, and you get 200 Watts. That's about 15% of the suns energy per unit area. Of course it's probably a

I met someone who says he helped develop TCAS, and that it decides which one to climb or descend based on the registration number. I'm guessing that it does not issue turn instructions because it only gives a Resolution Advisory when a
