That does not mean that day long power outages are impossible. Especially not locally. For example, storm Arwen in 2022 left lots of communities without power for many days https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/storm-ar

Beliefs and their specific holidays are an interesting facette of a diverse workplace that I feel is often overlooked in hiring for oncall and 24/7 jobs. No need to have to shutdown the business or for employees to skip every second Ch

As long as the postcode is complete, there are only few full addresses that the postie needs to check against. If you got a letter the same day to your full address and your name is unique, then it would be fairly quick to find you. BTW in

One thing that struck me when visiting Germany in summer was how logging seemed to be selective, leaving much of the trees standing. I passed a forest by train and despite logs piled up next to it, and logging vehicles around, you could not

Maybe there is a market for iphone 15 cases that correct the loss of rotational inertia by adding weight around the phone. Potentially there even is a secondary market of YouTube reviewers that discuss handling properties of lead vs tungste

I think the edge compute on the 5G towers is mostly an industry application in dedicated private networks rather than public networks for end users. For example, a factory might use 5G as their wireless networking stack (instead of Wi-Fi) t

Waterproofing in terms of actually being able to use the phone under water or not breaking when it falls into water (i.e. it will switch itself off when submerged and after it dried it will work again)?

Oh, I had thought that the Northern Ireland conflict was mostly suppressed with the army. A quick skim through the article seems to attribute use of rubber bullets to military, too. But I have not read in detail, yet.

Just worth keeping in mind that the UK police is about the softest there is in terms of crowd control. No guns, no gas, I don't think they have used a water canon yet. They do have horses though which are scary AF. Once you got a panic

Due to the routes they are left to fly, debris will most likely be Russian. But I bet in case of an incident, propaganda will definitely declare it as foreign debris.

Lots of lines are not electrified, because of the infrastructure cost of raising bridges for the overhead line. In some places it might be simpler to switch diesel electric train engines to hydrogen engines.

The reproductive cycle of fruit flies is approx 10 days. A single fertilized female will lay 100s of eggs over her life. But not all at once, it's more like 5 a day. So if you have a single fertilized female in a room, about 10 days la

Something I never understood: how can movie and music quality be measured by counting one-off paying audiences (cinema goers, pre-streaming album buyers)? People will only know how good it is once they watched it and therefore already paid.

It's the same origin, just different base language. It's about computation, not data, in both English and German. It's interesting that Norwegian and Swedish are putting the emphasis on data instead.

Just for those who also thought all lines on this map are underground: most of them are not. It's just pathways with segregated traffic. I could not find out how many underground sections there are, but I assume it's just the link

It does not need to be that complicated. Just give families, special needs groups etc tax credits or direct payments and have them decide how to use it. Then families that do not _need_ a large car wont buy one, because they can still save
