Thirded - the early bullet time sequence with Trinity was mind blowing at the time. More recently, when I've had the chance to rewatch the movie I've shifted my awe to the helicopter crash scene [1], which contains so many element

Seems like a wildly different weather/climate than this house would have normally been in. I wonder whether that impacts the longevity of these constructions.

On the flip side if something goes wrong you get to discover what $RANDOM_VENDOR in $RANDOM_COUNTRY thinks is a reasonable policy for handling it, which is not usually a big risk for domestic USA travel, but for international travel can be

Kosher salt and table salt of similar chemical composition (i.e. not the 60% potassium "low sodium" stuff) should be interchangeable if measured by weight?

What exactly is easier about auditing profits, when they are the difference between a claimed number (income) and another claimed number (expenses), whereas sales tax is literally printed on receipts? Thats why you hear about megacorps payi

I've read this trope many times but honestly I don't buy it. At highway speeds conventional door handles, which are absolutely tiny in frontal area and have fairly low drag shape to begin with, are behind the side mirror turbulenc

There are many design tradeoffs around this problem, and most of them are reasonable, except the one they chose (can't find your phone unless you have your phone). Especially since the choice of where the 2FA prompt will actually show

Came to the comments section to point out this ridiculous fact, which has been this way for ages (2018 at least). I'm glad it looks like there is enough momentum for them to think about fixing it now.

I replaced a crummy spring/latch one with a Zoji induction 3 cup and I would never go back to the old one. Rice is always evenly cooked and never stuck/toasted at the bottom, keep warm with tracking of elapsed time, countdown to b
