Why would you want to use a MS login in the first place? If something important doesn't work without a MS/FB/Google/whatever login, then I send them a hearty FU and move on. And guess what? I'm still alive.

Except during hot summers or cold winters, when they often have to reduce the outputs of the reactors, and import huge amounts of solar and wind power from Germany.

In fact, switching power supplies were used long before the transistor, they were using mechanical switches. Car radios used mechanical switches to generate the anode voltage for the tubes, and in trains there were voltage converters using

Why? The factory didn't burn down, and there was no widespread radioactive contamination. It's a battery pack, not a stash of U235 above the critical mass. Every recycling facility is more dangerous.

Forget folding locks. They're too easy to break. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs8uyPsDaw0 I think that bike theft should be handled the way that horse theft was handled in the wild west.

I always knew that all this "just in time" and "lean" stuff would somedays come back and bite us. It's great as long as it works, but it also has the potential to blow up a small crisis to epic proportions.

I'm the opposite. I NEVER use a third party login, my it be Apple, Google, Facebook or whatnot. If your website/app doesn't offer their own independent login, I don't even think once whether I really need it.

You could also try quinine. I recently discovered that drinking a glass or two of bitter lemon, bitter orange or tonic water a day helps with my muscle tremors. Magnesium doesn't help much. Side effect is the high sugar intake, which c

Nope. In most restaurants and bars, 300ml is the standard size, sometimes even 250ml. 500ml is considered a big beer. 300ml is also the standard size at festivities, concerts and sports games. In Colone, the standard size of the local beer
