Making cement releases carbon dioxide in the conversion of flimsy calcium carbonate to sturdy calcium oxide by roasting it. Reversing the process by injecting carbon dioxide in curing cement is turning sturdy calcium oxide into flimsy calci

While incarcerated, half the people "know a guy". Maybe the prison was "better", or maybe it was just a different mix of pros and cons. Not only was the advice I received unhelpful, following it actually made my stay lon

Hucksters, almost all of them. They prey on the desperate. They preyed on my family.

I encourage you to watch or re-watch the stoning scene in Life of Brian. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDe9msExUK8 @ 2:50). "You're just making it worse for yourself!" "Worse? How could it be worse?&q

Thanks for the decency, though I ask you: What signs of resistance could a half-naked woman offer a squad of SWATted-out FBI agents with assault rifles pointed at her head? No one claimed, in the hearing to follow, that there was any sign o

Miranda warning? There was no Miranda warning. You see, the judge ruled that enough time had elapsed that the conversation was consensual. My wife said it was almost instant from when they pointed guns and sexually assaulted her in the fron

There were three indictments in this case. The two lies the case was based on were: •OfficeMax lost money every time I traded them a cartridge for $3 in net 45 store credit (pay no attention to the fact they refilled them, put them in gener

Appreciate your updating (and catching) that. GoFundMe apparently thought it needed to be changed. No alert to me or anything. Guess I'll have to make one minor change in iMovie and re-upload 2GB. I hope they don't pull this again

Good catch, thanks! Fixing (or trying to fix) that now.

Thanks for the attempt at constructive criticism. There are actually that many words as subtitles in the video, I didn't leave out the hearing impaired. And a few hundred words are not necessary when six words at the top of the screen

Although I've heard urban legends questioning the efficacy of keeping them long term, dot.tk and another registrars are simply free for at least four TLD's.

This is exactly wrong. Services used are inversely proportional to bodies inhabiting. In far-flung suburbia, you still need all those miles of roads and sewer pipes serving a relatively small number of people. One of the papers did an excel

You could perform a DDOS, though that's illegal in both the US and EU. Worth a try, but probably unsuccessful: Try and do a password reset with Namecheap in an effort to gain control of the domain. You have the credentials to back up w

We don't want to act on our feelings without corroborating evidence. I'd find the results interesting, regardless of how slipshod the methodology was. Nonetheless, I'd hope you're wondering this in the name of research a

The question was reverse global warming, not slow it down. So here's the reversal options: •Plant and bury. Grow plantlife where it hasn't been growing before (oceans are one example, but tundras and deserts can also be used), and

The term for this is "brushing". An actual seller made an actual sale and sent it to your address. The actual buyer was obviously not you. The actual buyer was either in cahoots with, or simply is, the seller. Whatever platform th

Yes they can. It’s called an 11(c)(1)(C) plea agreement. Most don’t or won’t.

That’s the opposite of your first point. When they have no trouble spending the money, they have no trouble spending the money.

Prosecutors sometimes offer 11(c)(1)(C) plea agreements, where the sentence is defined exactly and the judge can only agree or refuse. This was definitely not that. It is the very opposite of precise. The PSR will be generated, and the judg

With respect to Ken White, that’s a load of crap. Between AUSA’s, FBI, CJA’s, FD’s, and judge’s office, at least $0.3M in my case and counting.

I wouldn't hold it against him that he pled guilty. The government has unlimited resources, and he didn't. Innocent people plead guilty every day.

This may sound stupid or trite, but have you considered moving into a management position? Social media and Youtube may be stealing your attention because you simply enjoy them more. If coding was more enjoyable, you'd be doing more co

This is common in the corporate world, and a form of stack ranking. Top of the stack = promote and give large raises, middle of the stack = keep and give small raises if any, bottom of the stack = get rid of. 4/7 says "keep"

"top software engineer" strikes me as "top dog". Not necessarily someone able to pound you into the ground in a competition, but the person who employs that person and can keep him employed there. So "top software

Uber makes 25% on paper and about 39% in practice off the rides they book. That's a lot more than I expected. Both Uber and Lyft are sinking a lot of that into driverless cars, and of course they're both burning through funds like

The Apple II cost $1298 (in 1977 dollars, $5444 today). That's with 4K of RAM. The 48K RAM drove the price up to $2638. Disk drives and monitor were extra. The Apple Lisa cost $10000 (in 1983 dollars, $25522 today). A 512K "Fat Ma
