In Michigan publicly funded institutions are no longer allowed to use race as a factor.

I looked at some of those institutions SAT scores and his scores would have been very close to the median scores of them. IE he was just one application in a sea of very similar applications. Obviously he worked really hard and that is impr

He applied for Computer Science, so I looked at the University of Michigan's Engineering School SAT scores, and he was just a bit over the median score for the engineering school. Since admissions at these schools is slammed with appli

You are correct. I wasn't up to date on my Turkmen pipelines. I'm sure the Turkmen would be more than happy to sell to Europe though.

No, Russia buys it for a song (since they're the only customer) and uses it domestically and possibly sells it along to Europe. I've certainly never heard of the Turkmen gas being unusable for regular purposes. There's a smal

I also believe they could get all the gas they ever wanted by building a pipeline through Turkey to Turkmenistan. With this disaster of a war ongoing the Turkmen government might be willing to risk playing ball with Europe.

Also I don't believe for a minute that natural gas production in the US supplying Europe was the driver for this war. If it was, wouldn't have the push from Russia been towards securing the path of their pipelines instead of the C

The ISA bus was really a very approachable way to add hardware to a system. I worked at a place where a couple of electrical engineers wanted to build a bridge from a PC to a specialized industrial control network. So, with very little know

Thats why I made one. I've upgraded now to a proper panel setup for my generator, but it was a quick and simple solution in the moment.

This feature however is a Google feature. They built it into Chrome and then from there it was made available in Microsoft Edge which runs on Chromium. So while MS made the GUI choices that made it difficult they were really just following

This is one of those projects that reminds me of how neat programming can be. Also, Google REALLY needs to get the spam and scams sorted out on Youtube. Or maybe they're not really incentivized to do so? I assume there's ads that

I've never seen the notification integration for Edge/Chrome used for anything legitimate, only ever scams. Its not unusual for me to sit down on someones computer and get bombarded with tech support/antivirus scams. And Chro

In my part of Michigan ballots are still done on scantron sheets. Its the best of both worlds--paper trail with high speed input. And the equipment is cheap(ish) and bulletproof--its been battle tested in generations of schools with non-tec

My grandmother grew up without electricity--let alone AC.

My grandmother grew up just down the road from where she lives now. They didn't have electricity when she was little and remembers clearly working outdoors in the heat. Summers used to get cold enough that when they'd go fetch the

My large institution mandated a switch to OfficeMax/Staples remanufactured toners to save (truly huge sums) of money. It was an unmitigated disaster. The toners leaked. When they didn't leak, the toner failed to fuse appropriately

A sim run for a few of my customers with very basic chips might take 48-72 hours on a crazy fast machine. The designers are also SUPER concerned with getting everything right--with chip design there's no 'fixing' broken parts

My parents in (poor) rural Michigan will soon have county wide fiber internet provided by the local electrical co-op. I'm sure the support will be semi-local and so will the technicians. So you'll actually get people that at least

I wonder if those personalities include things like 'middle managerness' and 'desperate need for people to see me working'.

Whats the justification for not issuing plumbing repair permits? Or is it an issue of getting it inspected?

by a2tech 4y ago
This is a process problem. The correct order to do things is: pull permit to fix plumbing, that permit will allow you to connect to the city water for testing purposes once you've proven the system will hold pressure (initial inspectio
