Another one along these lines is antineutrinos. They're created by fission reactions, so a nuclear reactor puts out a lot of them. From what's available in the open literature, this seems like it might be getting close to being

They had a way back home if they needed to. They just didn't have a ride up for their replacements for a few months, so they asked them to stay longer to keep the ISS mission going. Becoming a NASA astronaut is extremely hard. You ha

It's tricky. As a long time Apple user, I appreciate that they are privacy focused, but I also get a lot of spam text messages, calls, and notifications. It's become more and more annoying to deal with these on my Garmin watch a

I still have my old HP48GX, but I find I use iHP48 more often because it’s much faster. I had a 49G also but the keyboard died just from sitting in a drawer… the HP build quality took a nosedive in the late 90s.

Public spaces are most definitely not "Adults Only" by default. You're not allowed to have a big billboard with porn on it, you have to show ID to get into a bar, you have to show ID to buy a pack of cigarettes, and in many

Musk's politics certainly play a part in this, but the bigger story is that Chinese EVs are starting to dominate the Australian market. They're far cheaper at a comparable quality level.

There was a study out about a year ago that showed that you were pretty likely to rebound if you took it on the first day of symptoms, and very unlikely (it was something like 0/30 people) to rebound if you waited until the third day.

I will say for me when I took it, I could barely get out of bed. I slept 17 hours that day. It was maximum effort just to go downstairs to the kitchen and get food out of the refrigerator. Anyhow I got the first dose at about 6pm and went

My understanding is that the inverter you get in the kit that you plug into the wall will shut itself off if the power goes out, the same as most larger non off-grid solar systems.

I get the nostalgia, but boy are computers so much better than back then. MacOS 7-8 (not sure about 9, never used it) would crash constantly. There was no protected memory, so as soon as one app started misbehaving, you'd have to reb

A lot of it is just that: a) The knowledge is democratized on the internet (albeit often without proper context, and with somewhat limited accuracy) b) You just care a lot more about your own, or a loved one's health/life and are

Yeah I've done that on a few euro airlines. It's definitely faster to load, but usually you have to take a bus to the plane, which adds a lot of time and hassle that you don't have with a gate. I still really think that the

The nature of parcel shipping and ecommerce has changed. Years ago it wasn’t economically practical to order things directly from China and ship them to the U.S. Instead you’d fill up a container and send it to a U.S. distributor, and pay

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone starts making these. The heat that comes off a typical refrigerator is enough to heat about 1/3 of a typical house’s hot water usage.

The way this airspace is set up is very unusual where there is only about 150 feet of separation between the approach and the helicopter route. Normally there would be at least 500 feet and more likely 1000 feet of separation. Also the co
