How the heck are morels not on this list? Delicious, not commercially available, very hard to grow, easy to identify safely, and grow across the country.

Would you say more? What that suggests to me is the authority responsible for setting the max allowed said “Well let’s keep it below the threshold linked to cancer, reduce it by half for safety factor, and call it a day”. IE they chose one

In the US it’s a mainstream eating apple. Which isn’t to say it’s great for eating, considering the ultimate mainstream eating apple is the awful Red Delicious. In for example a gas station, they will stock Red Delicious and Granny Smith so

For what it’s worth, I live in California where both Honeycrisp and Cosmic Crisp are readily available (among a healthy gamut of other varieties). I LOVE Honeycrisp and it’s my favorite. I have not even bothered to try Cosmic Crisp, beca

Thanks! Forgive me but I gotta ask- how would you describe the socioeconomic class of the folks the park served? Can they afford to sue over small, non life-threatening accidents caused by minor safety breaches? Was the park ever sued, and

Not mentioned on that page, but you can make one out of two ordinary wrenches, which is both practical and may impress your friends! All I found online describing this was a video: https://youtu.be/5DShRItYxLA

I’m not getting your point here, won’t there always be inherent trade offs? If you scale the specified torque, you risk over-tensioning. If you scale the dimensions of the fastener, that has lots of consequences. Is there some safety factor

In case anyone else needs to look this up, torque-plus-angle means seating the threaded fastener to a base torque, and achieving the target tension from there by further turning the fastener a specified angle. So super duper simple and some

In California at least, it’s not that simple. There are “all weather tires” that, when paired with AWD, count for “snow tires” per CalTRANS chain control, and then there are real snow (and also, ice) tires. Guess what? You’re gonna have a

Bitwarden on iOS suffers from high latency user interaction, it’s much less usable than the iOS native keychain for this reason. I assumed the bottleneck is the public API for password managers, but maybe part of it is Xamarin?

Please respond to my points. Prices are discovered on the margin, so losing a significant chunk of the students that pay full tuition, could certainly destabilize the market and cause challenges for university administrators. Ok, say Purdue
