I know this is way off-topic but in Calum’s YouTube video about British Intelligence in Gibraltar he mentions a pedal-powered generator which was the primary source of power for the agents working deep inside the bunker. https://

This post smells of propaganda and queue-anon promulgators. (OP’s post history is quite telling.) Not once did the Wikipedia creator mention (Z)apad or (V)ostok. These vehicles are designated such to mark their order of battle during the pr

Context: Elon Musk and David Beasley (@WFPChief) had a back-and-forth on Twitter in which Elon challenged to justify how his billions can solve world hunger. This was the response from Beasley on where it will be allocated and it looks like

David Beasley (@WFPChief) responded to Elon Musk with this plan [1] and it looks like Elon was amenable to it, since we’re now discovering that indeed Elon Musk followed through with the ~$6B donation. [1] https://www.wfp.org&#x2

It’s not faked. Even Tesla tried it but compromised on one gear to get to market earlier. R&D would have set them back because motors were breaking gears back then, and didn’t want to spend any more engineering and research resources. T

I don’t agree with that. In my boot camp experience the fear from peers imposing physical or mental hurt was barely a factor for many of us. It was a matter of personal pride that made you want to spit shine boots and iron dress greens. We’

A few years ago, before Covid era (BC :), I did a tour of medieval castles in Europe and one observation that stuck in my memory was that the beds used by the royalty were constructed with an inclined position. I’m really curious how preval

What is the ideal sleeping position to maximize brain wash? Is it back, side, slightly inclined? Fluids theory would surely dictate how we can better align our body to encourage this. Intuition says our neck torsion must be instrumental to

@david this looks great. On the mapping viz features, I quickly glanced and saw squares for thematic and choropleth designs. Hexagons are well-suited for this and can convey a denser amount of information: https://www.esri.com&#x

Trader Joe’s is a favorite study in trying to explain how it manages to thrive with just a small number of SKUs (~4000) relative to typical grocery stores that carry 50,000 SKUs. Perhaps this might shed light on their warehousing strategy.

The ultimate answer to this is to go self-powered. The sun will never raise its rates, and PV panels+batteries are getting cheaper. Utilities are not admitting that independent power generators contribute to creating a more resilient grid
