Catch basins in my jurisdiction have round covers on a square structure. The cast iron frame is square with a circular hole in the top. Edit: for example https://maps.app.goo.gl/m8rR4vrPHBPTyXxo9

$5/dozen is still a lot less than the $7.33/doz at Costco that OP was mentioning. Canada, under $4 cad per dozen which is about $3.20 USD. Saw about $4.39 when I was in San Francisco last month, I (perhaps wrongly) made the assump

15-20 km/h is a fairly common pace in running races (2:05 to 2:50 marathon pace), no helmets are worn there.

Haha, yes, I should have made that more clear - I only meant lubricate if there are any bearings or rolling surfaces, definitely not on the parts that are meant to grip! I had an old printer where one end of the steel roller was in a simple

Many places in North America use electric for almost everything - heating, cooling, hot water. 240V 100A used to be common (24kW) but people would run up against that limit, so most new houses have been 200A for a while (48kW). I don't

I said "with my Nikon". You said definitively that it "can be disabled". Your statement was incorrect - you were the one extrapolating.

Live view auto shutoff can be disabled? No it can't[1], not without modified firmware that either doesn't exist[2] or is only available from sketchy mega uploads[3]. There are other[4] hacky workarounds, but nothing clean. [1] ht

Live view turns itself off after a period of time. I believe with my Nikon it's 30min. For me, having to press the LV button twice an hour seemed more preferable than flashing the firmware.

The most common cycling injury is a right hook, where a car drives past the cyclist then turns right (into the cyclist or without enough space for them to stop). At intersections, many cars will be turning right. Allowing cyclists to procee

Presumably you mean you have a gooseneck kettle, which I agree is not well suited to this task (though if it takes 30s to pour out the kettle, it's not really a big deal). Regardless, pouring boiling water out of a kettle is far less d

That doesn't account for any hysteresis in the system. The weather extremes we are experiencing now are not due to emissions last year, but to emissions multiple decades ago Regardless, comparing pre-industrial average with an ice age
