For young aspiring engineers here who may read this and just like the sound of "building jet engine", look into building a pulse jet first. They're extremely easy to build, having no moving parts, and only requiring some stee

Well things have already been a tad rough around this square, so if we follow the trend, the next square might turn bad even sooner. So maybe around, I dunno, 2101?

Here's a question for EE nerds that happen to be reading this (maybe in the future). What if I have a stash of big electrolytics that have been out of service for 10+ years? I know that I need to reform them over a few days, but can th

That's likely a stock image completely unrelated to the actual explosion. Blame reporters(or the sites they work for) for normalizing this behavior. If it's not, I can't tell because it's hard to get a sense of scale fro

Sort of off topic but this page links to a probably-pseudoscience rabbit hole. >As far back as the 1950s, it was known that garlic reduced reaction time by two to three times when consumed by pilots taking flight tests. Does ANYONE know

WoW only charges the base monthly subscription fee for 90% of the game, you don't actually buy the game+old expansions. The very newest expansion costs something, which could be tricky to fit into the law criteria, but everything else

OK as usual there's a ton of misunderstanding on this issue so I feel the need to summarize it: The goal is to require publishers to leave the game in a working state when they end support. For single player focused games, this means r

To expand on this a little, the author of the petition felt that it HAD to be limited to just video games on its face, the idea being to sneak a toe in the door through innocuous legislation. In reality, this would set a legal precedent for

My last CNC job was just a 98 pc that dropped into dos to load programs, this must have been right around when win10 came out. Sneakernet and floppies made it secure enough, but the main network where all the orders were handled was... ter

All of these other anecdotes are (understandably) sysadmin or developer-related, though I have a couple very stupid ones that are completely physical and mechanical. My first residential plumbing fix was a simple unclogging of a shower drai

I don't think I've clicked a no-context youtube link in years. Sometimes when it seems like it might be worth clicking, I just throw the hash into a search engine.

The extremely obvious legal problem is, ALL simulated voices sound like some real person somewhere, it's just a matter of finding that person. I don't see a solution to this, so I'll tend to believe the cynic's viewpoint
