I admit that in the first couple months it might be more dangerous, but once I get used to the controls, I don't need to think about it and can just go on muscle memory. Yes it means that one hand is momentarily off the wheel but I dr

I'm unfortunately in the market for a new car, and I'm having to look into work vehicles like small cargo vans to avoid all this nonsense. Touchscreens, radars, special Android apps, automatic climate control, buttons on the steer

Could this replace a simple fluentd setup right now or are there still major functionalities missing? Specifically, I'm ingesting nginx logs in JSON format, cleaning up invalid UTF8 bytes (usually sent in the forwarded-for header to ex

And I thought I had it bad in my kitchen. In any case I'm really wondering how it grows outside, which the article didn't really explain. It's one thing for the spores to survive in vacuum, another altogether for it to actual

We're getting to the point where mapping is becoming a simple apt-get install away, and that's a great thing. Projects like this are important not so much because of the service they provide, but for the software that's being

Their robotic programs are generally great successes though - Mars rovers, Saturn, Pluto for the most recent achievements. Incredible stuff, and unmatched. Probably because the senate keeps their corrupt hands off of these types of missions

This case is different though, using the fission reaction to generate electricity which in turn powers the electric motors among other things. The nuclear powered missiles use the fission reaction to heat incoming air similar to how a jet e

The title says that none had been built, while in the video the man who made it says none have survived. Otherwise, quite an interesting sound, perfect for baroque music.

If cost is an issue, they should be provided by the health care system for those that need them. But from the other answers it looks like it's more of a problem that they're stainless per se (hard material, need to be washed and c

What's wrong with carrying your own stainless steel straw? I mean if you know you need one it makes sense to me to have your own. Not being snarky, just curious.

It was faster, especially for JavaScript heavy sites... Which is the majority of sites these days it seems. It took a couple years at least for FF to catch up. I would say for most sites Firefox is now at least as fast while using less RAM.

There is a catalog of varieties allowed for sale, all others are banned. It takes a lot of money and lobbying to have a variety on the allowed list. So farmers are forced to use certain varieties if they want to sell them, not because those

One problem with flying wings is that you typically have seats further from the plane's center line (roll axis). Those unlucky enough to be farthest from the center experience greater force during banking, causing dizziness and nausea.

I wonder why there isn't a balloon mission being studied. The upper atmosphere has temperature and pressure similar to Earth at sea level. Maybe the wind is a big problem? Or insertion from orbit?
