Stihl makes soy oil based chain oil - you can get it at mcguckin in boulder, so it must be relatively available. I bought some to try it and its fine. Unlike other uses for lubrication - the relatively short life of chain oil (most is expel

I mean, while we're at it, can we get rid of blogspam? Try googling for instructions for installing cellulose insulation. It takes AGES to find a site that isn't just garbage vague content. It should be possible to detect and de

One day, we’ll have reliable fast electric chargers and a backup for charging when off grid. I’ll bet that off road drivers would love to adopt electric motors if they could. The torque characteristics are great, regenerative braking is han

I have to say, I’m optimistic about the controls in the Ineos Grenadier. I’m not sure I can afford one, but man, the dash design is good.

>3. Agree. There are a lot of databases that should exist, but the economic incentives of individual participants in a system means nobody wants to pay for it. Blockchains might present a way to make an end to end distributed database w

1. Digital ownership of a token. Digital assets can still be copied and distributed. Notions of ownership and title in digital are still inherently problematic. 2. This is probably not a feature society needs. 3. Possibly good? I'd s

I guess I don't see this as "right to repair". I think this attached to the importance of the enterprise sales channel. They can pilot this with consumers, but the value here is in allowing the fortune 500 to adopt apple devi

I think when I was in 4th grade, using Netscape, I spoke english but didn't know what FAQ meant. I think I probably searched it on Altavista.

I wish so bad I could just dump teams chats to a .txt file. I must have 100s of pages of chat with some people. And, the people I chat the most with are the chats I need to search the most, and it also the place where search works the worst

this is only the tip of the iceberg of Teams hell. Another thing that really happens: 1. you share a $file with $person1 over chat. 2. you share that same $file with $person2 over chat. $person2 cannot read it. they do not have permission

If its got a motor and it looks like a bike... An an American, I agree with your assessment. to me, Vespas and Mopeds are motorbikes. they burn gas. Pedal assist ebikes are a new category to me, and I don't think any of the current rul

because this is a tool for doing work? Nobody (or very few) HN people are going to want to do BI with their facebook accounts, if we even have FB accounts.

I mostly agree with you. I think the nuance that is missing here is that the degree of risk is different. We know the degree of risk from vaccines is low, both in the short and long term. The side effects harm few people, and are not catast

I think you're right. they are just saying it is pre-wired. well, it would be handy if they had the rest of the stuff available and already pre-integrated.

The point about using only one part of the table is funny to me. A lot of hobbyists build 4x8 or larger machines, and then always set g54 to the same spot and use only that (because different work offsets on your gantry axis are often very

why not just extend the email protocol to really support open calendars, open social networks (decentralized) and open p2p chat? email is a nice way of addressing, but we underuse that address compared to all the balkanized post-email syste

The movie is missing so much of the detail that made the book great, though. I agree, incomparable, really. IMO, the best movies are NOT adaptations.

massive reduction in population is a very ugly thing. There's basically no good way to do that.

with a lot of woodworking tools the AirPods pros definitely offer more protection than nothing. Not sure what attenuation they offer, but for the truly damaging higher frequency noise they seem to do a pretty decent job. I still wear real

I found that Echopraxia felt underwhelming - blindsight had a lot of great stuff, but I felt that Echopraxia didn't really deliver as a sequel.

I found blindsight pretty easy as an audiobook when driving rom SF to seattle. Maybe being slightly inattentive benefitted me for that style of writing, but I didn't notice the metaphor heavy style.

I agree. Shutting down protests by making it dark doesn't even work? OTOH, letting most of the people on the planet starve to death seems actually bad.

I can't say I'm surprised. my experience with my grandmother has been that ATT is either predatory or useless. I haven't bought anything in an att store in years - every iPhone I get comes straight from apple.

This is very real. I have a 2000 lb milling machine taken part right now and it just depresses me when I go into my shop and I don’t work on it.
