You have an inbuilt assumption about the purpose of a street name. Compare it with addresses in Japan [1], where some streets don't even have names. I don't know anything about Pakistan, but i wouldn't be surprised if the str

Knowing the average of 108 W wouldn't help with knowing your peak demand, as fridges vary significantly from off to startup to running, so knowing the average isn't useful in that situation either.

Aside from desiring a longer battery life, you'll likely be shocked to hear that some of us (non-iphone users) still use the Aux jack and the SD card slot too!

Not sure where you are, but the demographics have likely shifted significantly - you have to normalize the population changes with the average household population. For example, a 40% drop in population would about equal out with the change

I would say you described "one seven millionth" of a second (1/7,000,000 s) "Seven millionths" would be 7/1,000,000 s (7μs). They take 20 to 40 images in that period using 7 cameras, so any given camera might b

I would note that's a recipe on a molasses website. My family recipe uses one quarter cup of molasses, which is ~48g sugar in two loaves. Leave the spoonful of sugar out your morning coffee and you'll be even with the sugar in you

Yeah when I think further on it, I've never heard of it here in Ontario. In Atlantic Canada though, it's definitely made with molasses. Google search results [1] suggests this is a regionalism (Atlantic Canada and new england stat

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for the Xperia 10 VII in Canada.

by SECProto 1y ago
I just took a look and the most recent Xperia looks to be 3x the (already high) cost of a Fairphone 6? I buy my phones outright and that is quite prohibitive.

Looking at Wikipedia[1], the ≥40 storey buildings look pretty typical, I assume you're correct that they are using some. Some look like older designs with external shear walls, which reduce the exterior windows. That said, it's ce

No. I have several monitors of similar age, and their startup times vary significantly. It's a result of manufacturer choices, but not some nefarious impact of labels that tell you how much power a thing uses.

Looking at a WD spec sheet, it's more like 6-7W during read/write, and 3-4W during idle (1W sleep). Assume your use spread however you want, but that would be a max average of 5W usage per drive, so another 5-20W depending on your

That isn't a very useful statistic - all you should really glean from it is that landing on Mars is hard. The US has done it 9 out of the 10 times it tried, so it seems reasonable that it would succeed. https://en.wikipedia.
