It can, and does, I used to know a bilateral chimera, you could clearly tell which side was which by hair colour, she identified as female. Btw, 'she-male' a) does not refer to hermaphrodites, b) is an offensive term, and has been

"Briefly" in this case means a split second period of time, and you'll have to be looking at exactly the right spot, at exactly the right time. For most potential observers this will be indistinguishable from normal air based

Sulphur Dioxide becomes Sulphuric acid when it breaks down in the atmosphere, the threat/reality of acid rain due to this is why sulphur scrubbers were mandated on power stations from the 1980s onwards. Relying on it as it is at a spec

Unless you were an idiot and treated it as a joke, in which case, even outside the US (well, probably only places with US consulates), they replied with a visit by local law enforcement accompanied by a secret service agent.

> In the UK, I never saw a 6809 used in embedded designs (late 80s - mid 90s), I did see plenty of Z80s and 8051 derivatives. I saw a couple, mostly only because we'd used OS/9 based dev machines. The 6805/HC05/HC08&#

Not really, no. The Butex process ran at sellafield from 1951 to 1964, only the period of 1951 to 1958 was producing material for the UK nuclear weapons program, after the successful hydrogen bomb tests the UK signed an agreement to a) use

The naming issue is complicated, Windscale was a different set of plants (including Calder Hall) adjoining the set of plants referred to as Sellafield. Referring to the whole site near Seascale as either Windscale or Sellafield has always b

I'm not sure Mackie (primarily mixers & monitors) were a rival to Røde (primarily microphones) Both might have had some rival products in headphones, but it would have been a minor part of the business on either side.

I deeply regret not photographing more when I was young, and I appear to have lost a lot of the few things I did photograph - very possibly because I was on extreme budgets and my first camera wasn't great, and my second had a fatal fl

I would expect a arm64 machine to not build a arm32 compatible binary by default, it's the same as running clang on a x86-64 host and expecting it to produce 386 compatible binaries without a -march=i386 somewhere. The weird clang inst

It's protected by T2, the reboot disables the system security protection (SSP) temporarily in the T2, which then allows the OS partition to be written to, then it re-enables SSP and reboots. Only 'special' signed code can ena

I have had the thought that I should buy 'luxuries' that I've been saving for, before they get unaffordable again, even if it makes things a little tighter than I'd like in the near term.

TBH I think catching spy satellite film cannister re-entry vehicles, during their descent stage in the air, with aircraft was slightly more impressive. I think a bond movie used that as a plot point at one point too, again based on reality.

I'd say it's not that they want you to switch to firefox, but that they don't care about the type of user that cares about ad blocking and web features. They want Joe average, who just uses chrome and whatever is thrown at th

This is so locale specific as to be useless as anything other than anti-green FUD. Even the article itself points out that some locales DO recycle, and in many different ways.

Pretty much, the DE0 which most of the retro fpga computers rely on, was cheap, but it is almost impossible to find at decent prices anymore, even the non-mainstream FPGA boards (WaveShare, etc) have jumped in price massively, even though t
