To reply to the dead sibling comment: Depositing a copy of a book to the LoC is already the (dated) default behavior for hard-copy published text. Even if it's not strictly required, it mostly works. But as I said, perhaps you get a ba

It's more about policy than physical existence. I have yet to see a definitive answer re true originals being kept vs iterations of transcodes as the preferred codec changes. Or similar questions about deleted videos getting flagged vs

Yea, but we're talking about a 22 min video vs a 2 sentence explainer to grasp the very basics of a concept here. I love to argue the technical stuff as much as anyone, but the underappreciated aspect and skill of any engineering is ey

Depends on how you set up the analogy, but sure it's not perfect. And I put "solve" in quotes precisely because it does no such thing. But a water molecule interacting with pressure gradients and waves is about the best eli5

The same way (well, similar way) water flows through pipes or otherwise. How does water "solve" a maze to an open tap?

I've been battling the Japanese Lady Beatles at my house every winter since we've moved in, and it's taught me so much about both of these things- and that most seo results about insect traps etc are entirely wrong about. I h

It's based on vehicle weight, not height, and it qualifies the vehicle to be written off for tax purposes as a business truck, for business expenses prima facia. It basically allows you to depreciate it over 2-5 years. That's it.

No- it's primarily CAFE driven. (I'll address a small area of CAFE besides what a commenter said about CAFE below, which appears to be entirely correct and on-the-nose to me re footprint.) People for the most part didn't want

Adding an item to a list with much stricter rules absolutely changes the rules for those products and ones processed in the same facility. You can argue semantics, but the very premise of the article is that the change caused an outsized re

You want a "Professional" dishwasher, not a "Commercial" one. Commercial are for high throughput. Professional are for special needs, like labware or medical equipment, and have customizable cycles. Typical cycles of 25-

I'm the same way, but wool really is an awesome fabric for clothes wrt to temp regulation. My favorite t-shirt is now a lightweight filson 100% wool shirt that is just as comfortable by itself at 80 deg as it is under a button up shirt

Locally, we also have problems with rodents chewing threw unprotected pex. Probably because we rarely freeze, and unprotected really means completely unprotected.

I read most SCOTUS opinions, and even relative to them I found this 5th circuit opinion to be an easy read. Which also makes it even more obvious who has or hasn't read it, or even the first few pages.

Rails to trails is actually a (somewhat subversive) way for rail right-of-way to be legally preserved. From a practical/political standpoint, it'll be interesting to see the backlash when a railroad attempts to start exercising it
