Can you imagine what would happen if we had another carrington effect (which we will eventually) and were suddenly faced with having to build thousands of transformers....

Just give me something that looks like a Buick Grand National or a '92 Camaro..... I'll pay the extra money for gas. Why can't they be creative and reduce the efficiency just a tad.

It would be nice if the article would mention how the fire resistance compares to regular wood. I found this document that indicates it should be good for an hour. What I'm not sure is even if it doesn't burn completely, how well

Most of the stuff in that dataset has apis you can use live. They sent notification that they were turning off citysearch towards the end of this year and beginning of next year. The api behind citysearch was the only way I know that an ind

Especially with older disk drives if you don't power them up for a long time (months) the bearings may seize, at which point you may have to use the hair dryer trick to try getting them to work again.

Most people don’t know about this feature on the galaxy watch because it’s only approved in certain countries, though you can hack the SHM to enable it.

It used to be true that the pumping stations themselves were powered by gas, but this is no longer guaranteed because some have been replaced by cheaper electrical pumps. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article&#x

I certainly would welcome reduced traffic, more housing options, and not having to eat bugs (eventually).

I usually read or sleep on the commute because I can take the train. It never really bothered me much because I like to sleep and read. Are all these negative comments about the commuting because you have to drive to work?

The Samsung Galaxy Watch series still supports it, as well as blood pressure and sleep apnea (though you may have to hack it slightly to unlock those features in the US).

I use a rule-based automation in OpenHab (similar to HA) to randomly pick a light from a group and toggle it after a random interval, and it repeats the process every 10 minutes from 4pm to 11pm. I find this better than relying on prior his

Yeah because Boeing can't do it and the FAA is OK with it, then SpaceX should be held to THAT same standard and not judged differently otherwise it treates SpaceX differently and contributes to complaints of political double standards.

He doesn’t need to be a vet to know the difference between a dog and a cat. Retrieving the booster is optional. Boeing, their competitor, can’t even do it.

Looks like the windows build for 127 didn't have it but it's there in 128. Updating to 128.0 adds the preference (defaulted to true) and also the new "Website Advertising Preferences", which seems to control the same pre

We should at least stop treating population growth as an economic necessity (mostly because of corporations and the need to service a debt bubble). Where it ends up in the extreme case is people living on top of each other.

mp3gain is at the frame level. Sonos in particular does not honor ReplayGain. So the workflow is to adjust the volume with mp3gain, then re-analyze those levels and set the ReplayGain. That way it plays on devices that don't honor Repl

Media Monkey is great also if you have a large collection. I use the ratings and occasion tags to organize my collection. I like how the meta data is part of the mp3 so you take it wherever your mp3 goes. I guess it’s not economically viabl
