Again, with the huge benefit of hindsight, it looks to me like there was unlimited water and at least a few days of food in the cabin, but I really have no idea how often people come by there. Some have suggested starting a smoky fire, may

I don't think that would have been survivable. It's about a 20 mile hike down to the valley, and that day they had a high temp of 124 degrees F in the valley. Walking 20 miles at 124 degrees with no shade with a four year old an

I just checked, and my detergent (Finish Quantum) has alcohol ethoxylates in it. I wonder if with newer high efficiency dishwashers that use less water, this stuff isn't getting rinsed off as well.

Supposedly the van had 3 flat tires. That said, it also had an unused spare tire. It certainly would have been worth trying to get two good tires on the front and try to keep moving. The more fundamental problem I suspect is that they may

In hindsight, their best bet might have been to walk back to the Geologist's Cabin and wait for someone to come along. Supposedly it's usually stocked with some food and water, and there's a spring right next to it. It would

I’d caveat this — probably anything is fine as long as it’s not Magnesium oxide, which many supplements are. Magnesium oxide is about 30x less bioavailable than essentially all other forms of Magnesium commonly available in supplements. Th

I think the channel spacing with IMTS and AMPS was the same, there was just a lot more spectrum available at higher frequencies. AMPS was allocated 50MHz shared between two competing providers. IMTS I believe only used about 1.5MHz, altho

Juggling of devices from reseller to reseller sounds like laundering stolen goods to me. If it’s a legitimate sale, the original recycler will require the seller to wipe/unlock the device or they will only give a steeply discounted pri

I've found in these situations that the most effective way to solve the problem is to contact a Google employee that you know personally. If you can do this, they can fill out a form where they vouch for you, and you can get the accou

Grade inflation exacerbates this problem. The straight A student of today might have been the straight B student of 40 years ago. Meanwhile, the student of 40 years ago that was exceptional in some subjects but mediocre in others can toda

Stopping in the left lane of the Bay Bridge where the lanes are narrow and there is no shoulder is extremely dangerous. You can see the predictable results. If the sole problem was that the driver wasn't paying attention, the least it

It's probably more that the U.S. is mostly monolingual, but in Europe you can drive a few hours and the main language can change multiple times.

They have the capacity, they just don't have the laws to do the job. If Amazon is effectively forcing their drivers to disobey the law, the solution is simple: have escalating fines for violating the law. The fines for most petty vio

At this point it's basically historical/a mild hazing ritual. Everyone involved in aviation knows how to read this gibberish, and the next generation damn well better do the same! Back in the day, it made sense. Say, back in the

In Europe where noise is a bigger issue you often see four blade props on small single engine planes. That, combined with mufflers make a huge difference in overall noise. It costs on the order of 3% of performance.

Nothing. That is the definition of level 4. Level 5 is no restrictions.

Level 4 means full autonomy within certain predefined conditions. In Cruise's case, this might be, "Only in certain parts of San Francisco at night." This qualifies for Level 4.

The vaccines were not approved on the basis that they reduced transmission. This was a widely held hope, given that other vaccines do this, but that wasn't an endpoint of the studies. There was a little bit of data in the Moderna tri

If R is lower than 1, the disease will die down. If it's greater than 1 it will flare up (by definition). China has reached a stage where they have essentially eradicated it within China. They still import cases though into areas wh

Ok yes, this makes perfect sense. I've observed the same thing in academia. For the professors I've seen, even when they're not bidding and lobbying for grant money, they're often doing research that is not necessarily
