Alloy wheels are pretty light, and the weight mostly affects acceleration. At speed, most of your power is going to fight drag, so aerodynamics make a much bigger difference in efficiency.

If only we could find some way to harness the power of these thermodynamics-violating pizzas.

You wouldn't be implementing anything in software. The hardware would have decoding built in, so it's really just a question of choosing a bluetooth audio soc with the codecs you want and paying the licensing fees.

If you decide to do that, make sure you use something rated to handle that kind of load. The cheaper ones really aren't meant for more than switching on and off some lights.

I can't imagine there's much value in LG knowing how often I wash my clothes. On the other hand, it's nice to get a notification when the cycle is done if I'm on the other side of the house. Refrigerator sending a notifi

Philips makes some bulbs that change color temperature to get warmer the more you dim them. Not as flexible as a smart bulb, but it gets you most of the way there.

You don't directly convert dosage across species like that. The dosage they tested on monkeys was 250mg/kg, and the human equivalent would be less than that.

The real estate bubble in the 80s probably still has a lot to do with it. It took 2 decades for real estate prices to start to recover at all.

Groups of trolls banding together to down-vote people they dislike is as old as down-vote buttons. Surely you've heard of brigading?

Sounds like the meter was broken or at least wasn't properly calibrated. CO2 level should drop off quickly with a window open.

In real life, if you go to a sporting event or a show, and start harassing the other patrons and causing a disruption, you can expect to be kicked out without a refund. Refunding people who deserve to be banned would only encourage them to

Bleeding hydraulic disc brakes is a pretty daunting task, involving specialized tools, messy and possibly corrosive fluid, and just a lot of work. If they weren't essentially required for running wider tires/rims, I would avoid t

Looks like internet archive has a copy of the linked github page. Seems like it has everything needed, including the network key, to get things working. If you want to risk a legal fight with Shimano, that is.

I set up an automation to slowly open my curtains when I want to wake up. It's a much nicer way to wake up than an alarm.

I guess it depends on what fans you're running, but 1 A should be enough for at least 3 of the most commonly used ones. Noctua lists max input current for all their fans, and even the high speed industrial ones are only 0.18 A.

Methane is fairly short-lived in the atmosphere, at only 12 years, so it probably wouldn't be particularly effective at terraforming mars. Perfluorocarbons or sulfur hexafluoride can stick around for thousands of years, so they would

You can get a new Mitsubishi Mirage for under $10k, if you really wanted to. Just like this car, it also comes with a 1.2L 3-cylinder engine, and is also not at all a sports car.
