A wild guess of 3.5" floppy production is 30B. So you need 21,428 2TB micro SD cards. A 15mm x 11mm x 1mm you need 3 1/2 liters.

Wait, they can literally send a Subway pork sandwidge in a pipeline pig... That's funny.

So they can send up to 40 bananas in a pipe rover going 45mph... Hyperloop for lunch sounds like a good idea to me.

The Cybertruck beat the 911 while also towing another 911. I am not a fanboy of ether, but this is pretty cool from an engineering standpoint.

I am envision them still running a 1999 VB6 app ported in 1999 from an old DOS Fortran EXE to calculate the exact kilos of pure metals to compensate for alloy composition differences as they melt the scrap crucible to keep the alloy in spec

All things I buy and read: Banknotes, food containers,instruction manuals, blank paper, boarding passes(once in a while), sometimes newspapers from packages, and non-free guide to an attraction. I am guessing you mean "periodical"

Guess too precise of a measurement, find a median, and use over under.

Listen to the internal sounds of your body and find something that can be compared against a counter in your head. Passing a finger along your skin slowly will jump at random intervals. Can two people trigger each other?

Yes! It's clear Miami will have plenty of liquidity as sea levels rise. I guess they are both on the coast, but would rather be below sea level on rock over sand.

Same here. That's what it meant when I was growing up 40 years ago, but you don't here anyone saying this any more. I asked my son and he only said "unknown". It's interesting because foreign(not from the US) people

So in my echo chamber I rarely here the word "foreign" meaning outside of the country. I only hear it as: "This is different to me." I am been wondering for a while now: Where is this word really in use now? Do import ca

I am not so sure "a farm-free future with food primarily manufactured via precision fermentation and other scientific processes" is going to feed the hungry masses.

It's shocking how hot 5 watts can get a hunk of metal. As the airflow lowers more metal is needed.

This fun and understandable. I had to use a pnumantic drill to drill and tap a hole once under water. Lots of bubbles... Hydraulic motors make sense. Also they have a super high power to weight ratio.

After learning about Blues Traveler Hook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdz5kCaCRFM Duh! Why did I not know this? But then I saw the Velcro video again. Oh my! The hook is about hook and loop.

Local for me. You would hear lots of versions on the radio. The Phineas and Freb version is so awesome: https://youtu.be/JD6XRedzz2Y?si=-0WqQcmycq1CVAgB

I second your request. I am guessing for starters that the article is taking about rubber on steel rails and your link is rubber tire metros.

The title and electric BMW review in the first part was an annoying bait and switch to the real content.

I can't see your first comment(it's flagged) to reply more. How many down votes does this take to get flagged like this? When you talk millions you have a point, but it does not apply to modern humans. (That I can see). I think h

This is a great read about plastics from an engineering perspective. Also this: "and, famously, LEGO makes most of the tires in the world, by number if not by mass!"
