Not much of a coincidence - that happens to be right at the limit of how much power capacity you can have and still being the device on a plane per FAA regulations.

IIRC, even Cody's steak knife NG video had pretty serious "don't do this" disclaimers. And, I genuinely think it had educational value as an example of a project gone wrong. The biggest problem for me in this train of th

Likewise. If it's a well-thought out encrypted blob store, fine... But given that Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp would seem to have vastly different caching and security requirements - its hard to believe. Is any of this architectur

There's certainly some truth in what you say, but a lot of variability in such a large country too.

That chart is for interchange fees, which is only one part of the fees a merchant will pay. It's the portion which is returned to the issuing bank. It doesn't include the fees which go to MasterCard, nor does it include the fees p

I'm here in Chennai, and things are bad, but it's hard to tell how bad. So much of the water is trucked anyways - Chennai doesn't have a well developed unified water system. As a foreigner who has visited several times, her

Do you eventually earn the money back? Something I was reading recently claimed that total operational costs on underground lines also higher in the long run - dielectrics break down, faults are much more expensive etc. Found it counterintu

Agreed. Amazon has lost my trust here. But, that being said... With climbing gear, it seems to be less about counterfeits, and more about shady manufacturers / knockoffs with illegitimate safety certifications. Hot forging takes a lot

Arguably it could be nullified if the payment isn't legal due to being for zero value. Under UCC §3-104, a check is only a negotiable instrument if it's an unconditional order. UCC §3-103 defines an order as "a written instru

There are plenty of bowline variations which are secure and stable without just tacking on stopper knots afterwards. Gommers catalogs many of them in his bowline treatise.

That rescue is truly remarkable. Not only did the plane remain stable in the tree, one of the volunteer first-responders had the appropriate tree climbing experience and equipment to reach the accident site. That experience could have easil

Even so - it's "just" a compound pulley system. The advantage of White's pulley seems to be the reduction of friction by only having two axles, and synchronized rope movement so that the rope doesn't need to slip ov
