That's interesting. Edmonton was the closest major city to me growing up. I always kind of liked it. There are definitely nicer cities in the world, but I have never had any complaints about it.

I have not watched the CBC regularly for a few years (because I no longer live in Canada), but I grew up in rural Alberta, about as conservative of an area as you can get. When I was young, I was annoyed by the slight liberal bias of the CB

Real-time Linux used to be a joke, but apparently now it works. When was that? I used it over a decade ago, and it worked pretty well even then.

There are a number of projects dedicated to looking for near earth objects that could impact the earth. Pan-Starrs and Atlas are the ones that come immediately to mind for me, but there are others.

I wonder what they did or will do with all the ash, though. If I am not mistaken, I believe they landfill it.

I have driven an EV for the last 6 years. I find it to be superior to an ICE in almost every way. Range was, occasionally, a minor issue. I've recently bought a new (to me) EV with a larger battery. Range is no longer an issue. So yeah

The zone rouge was defined immediately after the end of the war at a time when a devastated country was trying to rebuild. At the time, it made sense to say, "don't even waste your time here." In the intervening century, so

It doesn't seem like anyone directly answered your question. As far as I am aware, all long distance undersea power cables are high voltage DC. I believe this has to do with the efficiency of power transfer over long distances.

I've no doubt that the astronauts are involved in the decision making. They are highly intelligent and highly trained individuals. They are unequivocally part of a team that also includes hundreds of highly skilled people on the ground

The latch is on the car for CCS. It is only on the cable for chademo. Regardless, the main issue with high current is the cable resistance. You need very thick cables or they will melt. Higher voltage helps, but cable weight is a real issue

A bit late to respond, but my take on visiting Sweden was: No, they aren't all tall, blond, and blue-eyed, but there sure are a lot of people who are.

What? How do tree rings tell us about sunspot activity cycles? IIRC, solar activity affects the level of charged particles hitting the upper atmosphere which in turn, affects the ratios of radioactive elements in the atmosphere. Traces of

One more tell tale sign is if a particular candidate's vote count correlates to voter turnout. That is a good sign of ballot box stuffing. [i.e. a candidate gets a higher percentage of the vote in districts with higher turnout]

I had a university exam where my calculator literally didn't work. I put a note on the paper to that effect and worked out as far as I could by hand without actually giving any of the final answers. Given the test was about knowledge a

Because IT is your social media's business. They know IT inside and out. They understand what can go wrong and how to mitigate it. The business for airlines (for example) is to fly planes. They are pretty damn good at it. IT, however,

That was part of the rationale behind the space shuttle in the first place. It was to create a space plane with aircraft-like operations in order to fine tune processes and technology to bring down the cost of space flight. Unfortunately, N

Remarkable how rules accounting rules like this can derail a project. Almost as though it was done on purpose in order to derail the project . . .

I would love to see HS2 reinstated, but I agree that it is not likely at this time. There are likely higher priority projects that should go ahead first (some form of Northern Powerhouse, for example). At a minimum, though, I do hope that t

The really bothersome aspect to my mind is not that the first handful of sub-postmasters were erroneously convicted. It is that they would sooner believe 900(!) sub-postmasters were guilty of fraud and theft than that maybe there is somethi
