How did "boba" become the de facto term for the drink? I remember calling it "pearl milk tea" in middle school, somehow switching over to "bubble tea" in late high school to college, and now calling it "bo

You just have to set realistic expectations. Some internet people have done tests and concluded that it does extend the life of a wine by a couple of days, and some internet people have not found a difference. Based on anecdotes from a frie

Is it also possible that food-contaminated styrofoam is significantly costlier to recycle than styrofoam on its own, or did this specialized process also take care of this problem?

On its own, there's nothing inherently wrong with it, aside from it being a very awkward user experience. But here's where it can go wrong, using ETrade as a specific example. ETrade appends the 2FA token to your password, but als

For me, it sends me to a secondary login page that asks specifically for the Symantec VIP or hardware token. If they are appending it to the end of my password, it's not evident to me.

Silly compliance checkbox perhaps? I'm vaguely aware that certain PCI standards require organizations to install anti-virus software with specific requirements.

Certainly yes, it's better indoors. However long it'll take will depend on how good your insulation is (a lot of older construction in the Bay Area has really poor insulation; after all, we don't have to deal with harsh winte

What is a reasonable range for an answer to (A)? I know it's going to depend on what stage the company is at, and I figure 1% is probably going to be the upper bound, but I don't know what the lower bound should be.

I suspect it may be the IPO underwriters, the big financial institutions that most companies going public will work with to make their shares available to the public. In short, the company and these institutions negotiate the initial price

I've found that the main challenge so far hasn't been the light pollution, but that the comet hugs the horizon so closely at about 45 degrees NE in the early morning hours. In the big city I live in, it means that there's oft

A slight tangent, but one very nice side benefit with split keyboards is that if you use a Mac and use a Magic Trackpad, you can fit the trackpad between the two keyboard halves and split the mousing load between your two hands. Just switch

Ah yes, those have also made their way onto kitchen countertops (e.g. the NutriChef Oil Press), but I'd agree that they'd be in the "advanced machinery" category. Most small batch chocolate makers don't bother with

I'm not sure what you consider to be "advanced", but you can get surprisingly really far with just machines that can fit on your kitchen countertop and still produce some pretty high quality flavorful chocolate. In fact, the

You should post your problem in the F@H forum. Back when I last did any serious folding stuff 10 years ago, people on the forum (some of whom still seem to be pretty active today) were immensely helpful with these kinds of problems. https:

With regards to Asian market produce, I think this is not necessarily always true. It's a mix of second-rate produce and very different (and perhaps very local) supply chains. You can almost think of Asian produce markets as farmers ma
