Everything gets serialized to a string of bytes. The point is that you can fail at parsing when the value doesn't make sense, rather than failing at some point in the future when you decide to use the value and it doesn't make sen

Well... maybe. If your pipe is carrying waste heat to a radiator of some sort (cooling tower or whatever), insulation doesn't matter, because the heat is going to escape to the environment anyway.

The MGU-H that is being removed from F1 is based on entirely different technology, and has a much higher grade of waste heat to work with (being that it works with ICE exhaust gases. It's being removed mostly because of cost, though I

It's big, but relatively insensitive to the debris hitting the majority of the satellite. It's mostly reflector, so punching small holes mostly just reduces the signal amount it gets, unless it hits a supporting rib.

It's both : people want single family homes, but don't want multi family homes nearby to "ruin" the value of their house. So they zone to prevent multi family homes from existing in single family home neighborhoods.

The bigger the room, the higher the ceiling has to be to feel comfortable. I'd still insulate the ceiling of the big room, but I wouldn't necessarily lower it. Instead, put in a ceiling fan so that the air doesn't stratify. F

There's no moving parts. The bolt is hollow with a pin projecting from the tip of the bolt back to the head. When put under tension, the outside of the Bolt stretches, but the inside pin doesn't. It's not as strong as a soli

It's not chemical. It's mechanical. It basically covers the red with a black liquid when it's good. A different color probably wouldn't cover the red as well. The bolt is basically hollow to do this.

The back of the "stock" looks pretty highly sloped. I think it's a fin type stabilizer. You don't need an FFL to make NFA items. You just need to have the tax stamp before you start if you don't have an FFL SOT.

It's a specialized tool, but basically the plug get pulled out slightly (which isn't enough to disconnect power in the US), and then the tool goes over the line and neutral pins, which supplies power from what is basically an UPS.

Average US driver goes 13.5kmi/year. This is about 36mi/ day. Most cars will get 2-4 mi/kWh, so this is about 12kWh/day. Average charging of like 8 hours gives about 1.5 kW over night. This isn't nothing, but it

The 400V vs 800V is nominal voltage for both the output from the charger and the battery pack. There's some trickery I've heard about with switching half the pack from parallel with the other half to series while charging. But gen

The relevant factor for 800v vs 400v isn't the current in the battery, but rather the current in the DCFC cable hooking to the car. We can't very effectively increase the amount of current, because the cable gets too heavy. So it
