A guy on the Internet recently reverse-engineered the Coke formula and published the recipe. I always liked Diet Coke, the regular one is just too sweet for me. So I replicated the recipe, and I actually liked unsweetened Cola! It feels a b

For some people, migraines can be triggered by things like light or certain smells. It's not at all impossible that a certain taste can also trigger them.

One thing that is "wrong" with MSG is that a lot of restaurants overuse it as a condiment. So you're paying money for a good food experience, but you're getting the taste equivalent of instant ramen noodles. I actually _

Because _real_ study is boring. Watching videos on Youtube or playing "educational games" is not studying. You need to repeatedly solve multiple practical problems to internalize the knowledge. And you'll eventually need to d

And yet, the SF school district decided that math is too racist, and advanced classes in particular should be banned as doubleplusungood. Seattle's Public Schools district is among the leading in the nation on per-student spending, yet

Fission-fusion or accelerator-driven fission is pure BS. It combines the disadvantages of _both_ and none of the advantages. Modern fission power plants are designed with a reactor vessel to last a century and to withstand high pressures an

I was hoping for a monitor update for the 16" laptop. But: > 16" 16:1- Anti-glare matte display (2560x1600), 500 nits, no HDR Sorry. That's just not going to cut it. These are 5-year-old specs.

Radiologically? Pretty much nothing. The regular industrial safety concerns will matter more. The plant will have some tritium, and the material in reactor walls will get activated by the neutron flux. Some of the activated materials can di

Fusion power plants can't "melt down". The amount of plasma inside the vacuum chamber is just around a gram.

_All_ the classic anti-air is useless against drones, as the US also found out. It can be easily saturated, and ground-hugging drones are not a good target for missiles anyway. Ukraine is now using interceptor drones for this reason. The is

It remains to be seen how well F-35s actually perform in that role against an adversary with modern anti-air defense and with modern drone-based tactics. Both Russia and Ukraine learned to avoid concentrating forces, so what are you going t
