Right, but the point that parent was making is that rather than just not implicating tea/coffee in causing these, the study shows that it reduces the chance of these. That it's a relative risk reduction is not particularly relevan

Two things: a) It isn't a purely Brexit issue, however Brexit has made it worse since UK employers can't even pay more to get drivers in, even if they wanted to, as there isn't the local capacity, and they can't bring in

No, since the positive response will normally be cached for "some time" dependant on a number of factors. The negative response on the other hand often won't get cached, again, dependent on settings.

The challenge, at least for those that want to use the watch for sports, is not the "daily" use, but that the watch runs out of juice so quickly when using its location tracking, aka GPS sucks battery. So, the reason that I want l

That's certainly true, however the cooling required for the microchips also typically takes a lot of energy, as well as the microchips themselves. Reducing the energy usage, reduces the heat output, and thus also the cooling requiremen

Very odd. The version of the article that I see says: > The nearly 800 pieces “of exceptional rarity and inestimable value”, including stelae, amphorae and other items, came from clandestine excavations in Puglia in Italy’s south-eastern

Where did you find this information? It isn't in the linked article. The conclusion drawn by grandparent is _also_ not supported by the article.

Ops point was that if the cost of fuel drops by 75% (using the numbers from their comment), then things like sails may no longer be cost effective. For example, it saves 20% of your fuel cost, great! But its cost is 10% of your fuel cost. A

And this is why state sponsored, but _not_ controlled media is what you want. In most countries that have these institutions, these media outlets are consistently rated, by both sides of the local spectrums, as being the most balanced. Note

Well, yes and no… as always! The trick is that you probably don't need all, or even most, of that power to run the light. Sure the Zigbee protocol is _probably_ being done via software, and not a dedicated chip, but even then. The big

At least in Europe, pretty much _all_ chargers are designed to be installed outdoors, as pretty much no-one has a garage anyway. So outdoor charging should not be an issue.

So the standard "house battery backup" systems are around the 20-30kWH range, and they are good for about 1-2 days depending on your usage. The F150 Lighting has up to a 150kWH battery, so somewhere in the 1-2 week range, dependin

To some extent this is true. It is easier to slide cash under the table to the owner, that said, most cafes where I live are not "mom and pop only" shops. They have employees, even if only a few, and thus tend to have POS etc. It

This is crux to the argument. If you know what to listen for, you can pick out the "bad bits", since you know that is where the issue lies. Once you know how to identify bad bits, then you'll be able to "hear" compr

If you _own_ the company 100%, then sure. Since at that point it isn't really a bribe, it's a discount or a service in kind. I am reasonably confident though that this Netflix VP didn't own Netflix. As such he was defrauding

As others have pointed out, this is a nuanced question. The dams were not built to produce power, they were built to protect the area. The power generation was done _because_ the dams were there, not the other way around. That is, even if t

There are three entries for Alien Isolation, one gives a 30FPS (on a Mac mini), one gives 7-12FPS(on a MacBook Air) and a note of "Very slow and blurry, only 7-12 FPS, Effectively unplayable". The third says nothing useful. The ga
