Some call it "supercommuter", some may call it "carbon tax can't come soon enough".

You can usually predict the plane quite well if you know the airline and their fleet and they show you the exact seating plan.

I was directly replying to a comment from someone who was disappointed with their Raspi as the home server and was clearly going to choose something like a NUC next time. That's why I talked about my NUC. You seem to think I have issue

You're making the same mistake again. The operation in "Terawatt-hour" is multiplication, not division. It's not Terawatt-per-hour, it's Terawatt-for-an-hour. 1 TWh is the amount of electricity you consume when you

Some scooters are susceptible to death wobble, that's true. The fact that you can push a bicycle without a rider and it will roll, while most small-wheeled kick-scooters will fall, is not caused by a higher center of mass, but by the g

My home server is an Intel NUC 11, the cheapest, least powerful version. It has a dual core Celeron, cost around $200 with 8 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD. I put Debian on it, tweaked the fan curve so that the fan only spins under load, put the w

You could probably save a lot on maintenance if you didn’t have trucks driving on the roads.

Maybe we could make the infrastructure cheaper, add some power lines and maybe make the road surface from steel for low friction!

Neat idea, what kind of camera did you use?

All modern fighter jets have relaxed stability and are controlled by complex fly-by-wire systems with precise hydraulic actuators moving huge multi-purpose control surfaces (e.g. stabilators, elevons, flaperons). "Simple" has left

The article mentions that. First, you’d have to slow down the passage of the particles through the purifier enough so that the UV light could kill everything, which is inconvenient. Second, the filter is supposed to trap the particles and r

It does and it works great, but it’s about twice as expensive. The cheaper one, on the other hand, has zero smart features, and the only dial on the top directly controls the speed of the fan, with nice mechanical steps. So you can preselec

I don’t understand, the cheaper IKEA purifier (FÖRNUFTIG) uses its entire front side, covered with fabric, as the pre-filter. To clean it, you stop the purifier and vacuum clean the front side, which takes 15 seconds. The more expensive rou

There’s the issue of not being able to decide what gets burnt. I’ve read that under certain circumstances, the body can actually burn the muscles faster than it burns the fat. Which obviously makes exercise harder.

The IKEA one has three power levels, the first one is virtually inaudible, the second one hard to ignore even just being in the room during the day, the third one is really loud. Very good purifier though, looks nice, filters well. They eve

To be fair, the original comment was about piston engine powered aircraft. These would really need either a separate compressor/blower or a complicated modification of the exhaust system.

Airliners, even if they lose the big engines under the wings, still have a small one in the back, called an APU, that can provide power and bleed air (!) for all kinds of critical systems. A hypothetical airliner from the future relying on

Well one of them (on Mac) is certainly not a monopoly, on my Mac I have like two apps from the Mac App Store, the rest is bought directly or via Homebrew.

You must be thinking of something else. Maybe the Mini? iPhone 13 Mini was discontinued last September. 1st generation SE had been discontinued long before the 2nd was released, but the 2nd was directly superseded by the 3rd, and you can st
