How exactly do you define a negative voltage unless you are using some other voltage as a reference?

When you look at where the overwhelming majority of lithium batteries are produced, it makes sense to use China as the benchmark (and why it pays more than the US or Europe).

I've thought the mandates were stupid right from the start. Don't get me wrong, I am not an anti-masker, and I work in healthcare so I've worn a mask every day for the last 3 years. But forcing people who do not want to wear

This is such a naive viewpoint. Let's say that people are not allowed to have more than 10 million dollars, but corporations are. Then it wouldn't be Zuckerberg's money, it would simply be Facebook's, wielded by Zucker

Neither Farenheit nor Celcius are "superior" on their own. However, Celcius slots in to scientific notation nicely, which gives it a huge benefit. I'm Canadian. I deal with a bastard mix of metric and imperial daily. Faren

Whenever I see discussions about EV battery lifetime, I always wish they included ICE mileage degradation in the discussion as well. Ain't no way a 200,000 mile ICE car that may or may not have been well maintained is still getting fac

>the manual states that if the range goes below 15km the car may shut off at any moment. I hate this so much. Just display the range as (range-15km) then. If you're going to lie about range, why not just say the car has 1300km+ ra

I really wish they would stop making newer, faster, more expensive Pi's and just focus on making the existing Pi's cheaper and more available. Out of the dozen or so RPi's I have, not a single one is even connected to a moni

Linking to Breitbart doesn't do a lot for the credibility of your claim.

There are two important numbers when it comes to batteries. Volts and Amp/hours. Watt/hours is simply a calculated value. Why provide watt/hours and force people to back-convert to amp/hours? Watt-hours is only useful

I would also argue that the wording of her hypothetical test is terrible and that it clearly should use "or" instead of "and".

In what fantasy world does "well regulated" and "anyone can own nuclear weapons" co-exist? The whole argument about the 2nd Amendment is because it's so vague and ambiguous. If it had just clearly said "Each c

The two examples in the article are "Don't drink and drive" vs "the patient shouldn’t eat any food, drink any liquids, and smoke". It seems abundantly clear to me that the second example is poorly worded and should

"Winning" as the goal is the only way lawyers can be truly objective. Otherwise the justice system turns into a popularity contest. The problem is that any single person/lawyer might ~think~ they know who is guilty or innoc
