Where are you getting construction as double that? This BLS site states that total recordable injuries is 2.2 per 100 employees. https://www.bls.gov/web/osh/table-1-industry-rates-national.... Remember, this is re

Your initial baseline was arbitrary. If the game had been 10% slower on Windows, would you have never enjoyed it? If not, how could switching with a 10% penalty be a deal-breaking downside? Just do it. Swap and let go of objectivity. Let yo

Surprisingly. A lot of eg: aircon ducting, placement of stuff in the bonnet, dash configuration, wiring looms, is all -handed. Certainly doable but it’s a significant burden in both design effort and handling of parts/supply chain&#x2F

From TFA: “TV ads from betting agencies will be capped at three per hour, between 6am and 8:30pm, and banned completely from any live sports broadcasts during those hours” I read that as even after 8:30pm, they’re still banned during live s

Gambling addiction impacts those around the person. They may deprive their dependents of opportunity and care. They may gamble away savings and require further support from the public purse. They may even steal (e.g. taking money from loved

As an avid follower of pro CSGO and CS2, I don’t doubt any of that. You’ll note I don’t advocate to ban gambling. However, vices all come with negative aspects and it’s on us to discuss what the right overall balance is. IMO, when it comes

Finally. The deluge of gambling ads on TV during Friday night footy is absolutely appalling. There’s a very robust conduit for normalising sports gambling through advertisements around the broadcasts and it’s clearly influencing young adul

Descent came out in 1995. Pokémon red came out in 1996. Sorry to be the one to ruin your concept of time.

My hot take: nerds think AI is transformative because nerds build AI to be really good at their niche tech activities. In my experience, it’s far less useful outside of that. To the point where if AI disappeared tomorrow, it’d make approxim

I’m not 100% sure if this will solve the problem, but I recall that if you open the explorer folder viewer and right-click on the pinned shortcuts on the left (Desktop, Documents, etc.), then in properties > location you can move the fol

Ironically, both India and China forbid lighters on planes. Famously you see a collection of them around the bins just outside the airport as all the smokers leave them for others.

Not necessarily, no. Train underframes can be quite crowded and this equipment is very industrial.

More simply, you measure the impact for dangerous forces. No need to overcook it.

Wheel impacts are the main way. But hardware can be bulky and trains can be surprisingly cramped. We squeezed some track condition monitoring hardware into some locos but it was single-driver operations locations and we cannibalised some of

That Sainsburys one is the one I have now but it wasn't showing up on its website for the longest time. Thankfully, that changed. I did find the Waitrose one and it was going to be my next buy, but my local didn't have it and I ne

I, too, went through like 18 months in the UK with the big stores not selling any until one reintroduced it recently. Alternatives on the internet were like 3+x the price, at least. It was incredibly frustrating. I now stock up and have 2-3

I work often in China. I somehow haven’t had my WireGuard VPN back to my own home server blocked, yet. It’s pointed to a domain that also hosts some HTTPS web services so that might help. Prior to this, pre-Covid I used to use shadowsocks h

Comrade, we have invented tiling window managers. You can simply move the window E: I still like margins though. A visual delineation from the window border is nice.

Unless I’m mistaken (and that’s quite possible!), this should be trivial to test. Sous vide some meat for an overly long time to a precise temperature, then cut each piece at set intervals.

I genuinely can't think of any sites I come across that are broken, at least visibly enough for me to notice. I think that speaks more to the variety in browsing habits than anything else. I'm sure they exist and I don't thin

Conversely, emergency brake from the rear is better in an empty train since otherwise braking propagating from the front can cause run-in which can lift up empty wagons and derail them. Not good on curves. The right attack could probably ca

Australia's favourite spectator sport is not, in fact, cricket or AFL, but rather watching government knife their PM whenever the political winds change direction. In the last 8 years, 4 PMs have been rolled before they've reached
