How many rings would the average person have other than their wedding ring or band? They might have a college ring but isn't worth stealing (initials, graduation year, sometimes a name, all easily identifiable by a pawn shop) unless yo

The current salt market is based on a supply of actively produced salt. Only ~7%* of worldwide production is "solar salt", derived from evaporating sea water. The rest is actively mined or extracted by other methods. Dumping 200 m

That's the perfect movie for demonstrating the potential of multi-channel audio. The only problem is that you're also relying on the viewer to have proper speaker placement, sound levels and speaker calibration. Autocalibration (Y

I think there is another effect at play during a return trip, at least for me. I used to regularly tackle a 900 mile (1,800 mile roundtrip) haul between home and college and it felt longer with each trip. The trip felt longer as my familiar

Think of it more like 4 billion "views". If 1 person watches 6 matches they count as 6 "viewers" for those statistics. It makes sense if you're trying to track retainment for an event that's broken up into seve

"All they care about is whether or not it works." Which is why they care more about this issue than someone without a mega-tractor. These vehicles need to be operational when they're called upon, every minute of downtime cost

The importance of either flight wasn't that they achieved flight, it was that they achieved sustained, controlled flight. Whitehead flew with full control authority (3 axis') in 1902 and the Wright Brothers in 1903. Devising a sys

The fact that this remained controversial due to a lack of evidence for over a century speaks to how limited the world's communication networks were at the time. It took a century to uncover evidence in the form of first page reports,

In my experience, there are 2 groups of sales reps that can be distinguished with this question (assuming an honest answer). There aren't many reps in a middle ground between the two either. There's the hyper-organized salesperson

Windows' use of WinSXS and RAM scales with the available capacity. That behavior with WinSXS particularly irks me as it implies acknowledgment that most of those files are unnecessary, yet there's nothing you can do to combat the

There is still some level of aesthetic consideration given to industrial equipment. Compare the sleekness of the cab and bodywork on a new frontloader with that of an 80's model. New: http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/imag

I wonder why they didn't decide to name the loops "Inner" and "Outer" like they did for 485 in Charlotte. It makes a lot more sense. NC has all sorts of crazy road names and designs though. My favorite is 240/2

They have a terrible NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) profile. The deformation of the tire in motion produces significantly more noise than a traditional tire due to the larger amount of material and greater stiffness required for the

If they aren't now, they will be soon. Look at where LG, Hyundai, and Kia were just 15 years ago. LG had to change names from GoldStar to shed the perception of the brand as the king of cheap Sony knock-offs. Hyundai and Kia were relea

I wouldn't say spending on entitlement programs are an issue, they're more of a symptom. IMO, the root cause of our economic stagnation is our government's inability to create policy that is efficient, thoughtful, and timely.

Maybe I'm the only person who has this issue but Amazon's categorization of items, broken search filters, and poor administration of 3rd party listings makes it very difficult for me to find items that I would regularly want to bu
