Seconded. I tell people it's several books in one, all of which are brilliantly executed: - Biographies of the preeminent scientists of the 20th century - A history of late 19th and early 20th century physics and chemistry. Much more t

Lots of ways: - In popular camping/hiking areas, there's just too much of it. - In dry areas it can take decades to break down. - In rocky areas it's really hard to bury it deep enough (and so people often don't). - In s

And if it does, you should get your wiring checked! If voltage is sagging enough to dim your lights with such a small load, that indicates a lot of resistance somewhere in the wiring, which could lead to fires.

I worked on search at Google around that timeframe, and it definitely used an index. As far as I know, it has from the very beginning. You can solve the ordered list of words problem in ways that are more efficient than grepping over the en

The claim that they would recondense the water is surprising to me. :) I'm genuinely curious how recondensing would work. It seems like a Rube Goldberg machine to me. To recondense the water vapor, you would need to move a large amount

You could get that for $75 to $150 (depending on lead time and whether you want 5052 or 6061) from SendCutSend or OshCut (both US-based), as long as you're willing to use 3/16 inch (4.7 mm) plate instead of 5 mm. They'll also

I'll second this. We got a Chevy Bolt a couple of years ago, and I assumed we'd need to install a 240 V EVSE, but it turns out that regular 120 V 12 A charging is totally fine for us. I think there's been one time in the 2.5

What do the numbers indicate? Birth rate per capita? And are the arrows expressing ranges, or expressing changes from the beginning to the end of the decades? (Or maybe those are equivalent in this case?) Also, for those who don't reme

It seems plausible that as you add more people to the project, the people added later have fewer skills or less interest compared to the ones who are more engaged ones who joined earlier.

As an American, I've never seen that spelling, and I can't find much evidence that it's an accepted spelling. I'm curious how you came to that conclusion. "Stymy" doesn't appear in Merriam-Webster [0] nor

Maybe. There's also a good chance you'll get a battery whose actual capacity is not less than what it says on the label. This Project Farm video looks into that question. https://youtu.be/Xf0qqsRMKpM

A lot of newer dishwashers have longer cycles to reduce water usage (and I presume get government environmental certifications like EPA Energy Star?). More soak time means less water needed. My dishwasher's "normal" cycle is

I think probably the latter. Either that, or your dishes are made out of tungsten or something. (If so, I'd love to see your dish collection. That would be rad.)

My dislike of tipping isn't to help the "poor servers" (and other employees partially compensated via tips). You're correct that I've never been a server, but I've had several friends and roommates who have bee

Yes, it's pretty common. It's also common for businesses where customers tip to underpay their employees on the expectation that they'll make it up with tips. It's legal to do this in many jurisdictions. As an American,

The TI-92 and similar have a full-on computer algebra system that they use when they're in exact mode [1]. It does symbolic manipulation. This is different from what the post (and linked paper) discuss, where the result will degrade to
