There's no chance the ship poses a risk of burning those grain silos. If it explodes, it won't go up like the port of Beirut, it'll just kill people on the ship and quite possibly spill large quantities of oil into the sea. T

>KNO3 and nitrites are still used to cure meats, in salami etc. What? That's absurd. Food processors would never do such a thing. They only use the finest cultured celery powder (filled with "all natural" sodium nitrite).

Dell has "fixed" that problem by disabling S3 sleep on certain laptops. Not even kidding, the ACPI tables don't have S3 sleep as an option and it's not even some matter of OSI string trickery either.

It does convert CO2 into "fuel" but the ISS just vents it into space. The utility for the ISS is getting the O2 back and being able to ship up water and use it for atmospheric regulation as well.

It's not that clear cut. If you can prove in court that the majority shareholders are acting to the detriment of minority shareholders, that's actionable. See Dodge v. Ford ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge

That's never going to work but it very well could lead to ISPs very strongly herding customers to use their own managed routers. They already push for that for customer support purposes, using this to start automatically snooping on &q

Ah, yes, I don't know why I was conflating criminal prosecution with civil litigation around police misconduct. Prosecutors could charge and convict them in many cases but you're right, they won't.

Unless an officer openly admits to deliberately wrongfully arresting someone good luck prevailing on that in court. Even if a prosecutor was willing to, the bar for qualified immunity is extremely low.

There's plenty of DUI arrests where no drugs are present, the driver blows 0.00 on the breathalyzer, and the only "probable cause" for arrest is an officer's subjective "expert" opinion. https://www.

Your resistors would still need a varying voltage applied to them in order to spin the rotor. If you view your "pulsed DC" as not being AC then a simple brushless DC motor would meet the same definition. I believe if you want a tr
