The people who are trying to destroy the post office are not the same people using it to deliver tests. Those folks are not in favor of using it to deliver tests. Hope this helps

Many people can't just stay home from work unless they have an actual positive test. For a lot of workplaces a home test isn't enough, you need a PCR test, but this can ideally help you know if you need to go to the trouble.

The math is fuzzy since there were several months where even though the vaccine was technically available, you couldn’t just go get it at will. It’s unavoidable, though, that the deaths after will be higher than deaths before the vaccines w

There’s no more to it than the name essentially. A scammer gives an address and says that if you send crypto to that address, you will receive double the amount you send back. Then they keep the money you send. I’m sure they dress it up, ma

It's not like it goes from 10mph to 15mph to 5mph constantly or anything. Accelerating immediately causes the board to tilt back to your neutral angle and the controller lowers the output after a few milliseconds. You can generally kee

Ouch, that sucks, good luck in your recovery. The issue with the One Wheel is that it balances nose to tail by accelerating or decelerating, but it has a finite amount of power available. Once you’re going close to the top speed it can’t ac

I bought a One Wheel at the beginning of summer and rode it everywhere for a couple months. I decided to take a break from it when hospitals started getting slammed with Delta. I never took a nosedive but the constant xrays of broken wrists

The interesting thing here isn't a clock, it's the novel power harvesting device. There simply happens to be a clock tied to the output end of the shaft. You could get some random highly-accurate clock and put that on instead, or

I wonder why they didn’t use NFC. They could get away with a much simpler chip, or even a fully analog solution if they didn’t need the complexity of Bluetooth. Seems like you could just about accomplish the same thing with a pair of NFC to
