I think Pringles cans are already lightly pressurized. "Once you pop, you can't stop", and this picture[1]. Now, that title is misleading; the plane may be at 30,000ft, but the cabin is not at the atmospheric pressure of that

Additionally, there's another factor of raccoons that seems serendipitously applicable here. Raccoons are cute, yes, but they are also potentially dangerous and can cause damage or injury if ignored or dealt with incorrectly. If raccoo

I agree that it's probably a manufacturing cost issue, but I disagree that a draw that long is necessarily difficult to perform. One can buy extruded aluminum in various shapes, in very thin wall thicknesses, in lengths measured in met

Why not combine the two? Have your traditional opaque displays, then overlay the transparent system. I imagine this could be useful in court, allowing both the prosecution and defense to scribble on video evidence presented to the jury to p

Well, this would be another method for achieving heads up displays. Here's an application that I think would be really cool: HUD retrofits for cars. Take a transparent plastic film, stick it to the inside of your windshield in a simila

Exactly. Thus why I am somewhat surprised to see that he's being charged in Florida. By the letter of the law, this is an issue for the feds to handle. Edit: Another post on HN[1] covers the federal charges. So, it sounds like this kid

Interesting to see that he's being charged in Florida, instead of federally. I mean yes, normally, when one commits a crime in a particular area, they're charged in that area. But my understanding is that once stuff crosses state

IMO, this post betrays both a biased assumption -- that real reason anyone would buy an AR-pattern rifle is a desire to kill others, with varmint management as an excuse, and an ignorance -- that bears would fall under varmint management. I

The fun of an affected machismo and showing up your friends at the target range notwithstanding, there is such a thing as overkill, and there comes a point where it is economically silly to address varmint problems with higher-power, longer

> An AR-15 is a high-powered rifle that has a lot of stopping power even at long range This clause is untrue. The most common chamberings of .223 Remington or 5.56x45mm NATO are not "high-powered". That is an intermediate-pow

It depends upon exactly how the alcohol has been denatured. I'm of the understanding there's a couple ways: lacing with methanol to make it poisonous, or lacing with bittering agents powerful enough to make even the most desperate

I hadn't thought about that, but looking at pictures of cupolas, that makes sense. Such would play a similar role in thermal regulation as a whole-house attic fan in extracting hot air from the house. I find myself wondering now if a c

My pocketknife is first and foremost, a tool. By modern fancy pocketknife standards, it's rather pedestrian. But it isn't a cheap knife either. A cheap knife would not hold up actually being used as a tool.

Simply, many of the common situations where you'll find a pocket knife handy around your home also happen outside your home not infrequently. As you go through your day, look around for situations where a tool that can cut, pry or poke

I think it is very much a case-by-case basis, depending on a number of factors. Factors include, but are not limited to, what part of what government, purpose/mission, funding, incentives, and local culture. Yes, one can find examples

Curious why 2-3" for down to 120Hz, as opposed to breaking you your array down into a few more cone sizes for more bands, like say, some 8" for low 100s of Hz, and a 3" for high 100s of Hz into low 1000s of Hz before the twee
