It is worth noting that the Basque Country and Navarre have a special regime inside Spain, which roots back to the medieval _fueros_, going as far as having their own independent tax agencies. The rest of the autonomous communities have a l

I have found PlatformIO to be a good step up from the Arduino IDE: it generates a new environment for each project with a sane folder structure, and it is possible to dive into the implementation of any function just with the usual Ctrl+cli

I have read that niacin is used as a placebo, it has a very noticeable physical effect but no psychedelic properties.

Eliminating the middle step could be an option, then: isn't biowaste incinerated after collection? Just tell people to set fire to their discarded masks, many people are carrying hydroalcoholic gel which is quite a convenient acceleran

It's visually equivalent to a u, so without vowels it's still possible to get "fvck", for example.

Don't forget that although the base floats it is also tethered to the seafloor with chains and anchors! The mooring provides most of the stability, and if it were not tethered then it would not stay in place at all.

Yeah, because 100 years ago there were not any tramps, hobos or bums.

Well, we have already tried that with methadone clinics. To compete with the black market it needs to be the same product.

They are much more expensive to manufacture, since they are achieving that level of efficiency by using more LEDs and undervolting them, around four times the amount of a normal lamp. Big Clive did a complete teardown and reverse engineerin

Modern work is as much a fundamental part of the human condition as much as hunting and gathering was before.

Pharma and mechanical engineering companies need IT people, too, even if their core business is not IT.

What? Does the fence itself vibrate and reproduce the sound? Or do you need to complete the circuit using the fence as the detector?

Tuna radar buoys are dropped regularly in the sea, and are quite a bit north of $500, I believe. They are not expected to be recovered, work completely off solar, and are closed solid. You need a magnet to turn them on through a reed switch

We had a monitoring unit in a heavy aluminum box on a buoy a couple km off Biscay (the HARSHLab, heh...) that lasted half a year, until the stainless bolts corroded against the aluminum and the lid flew right off. Polycarbonate boxes have

My company [1] is developing a solution just like this one, with added inertial monitoring. It is meant for studying a vessel's or a platform's maximals movements at sea remotely, for fuel consumption optimization in principle, bu

A pyrotechnic battery disconnect, which I suppose cuts the connection to the battery instantly in case of accident to avoid shorting it. There are already pyrotechnic devices in cars: airbags are pyrotechnic, as well as safety belt detents.

Female mosquitoes need blood to obtain protein for the eggs. If they can't bite, they won't be able to reproduce either.

Some professors take as a badge of honour to pass only the bare minimum of students they can get away with each year, at least in Spain. If there aren't enough passing grades to reach that legal minimum, they just give everyone from a

Just to clarify, Industrial Engineering in Spain is a generalist engineering degree (mechanics/electricity and electronics/fluid mechanics/materials/etc). What the rest of the world calls "industrial engineering&quo

At least in Europe, since the introduction of the bag surcharge, the new plastic bags are thicker and much stronger. At most, they get punctured, but I have never had one break open on me.

Hmm. I hate to play the skeptic, but this "HMD vortex generator" looks like a cold fusion device. It somehow fuses deuterium nuclei into alpha particles while their electrons fall out and are harvested. On top of that, the slidesh
