Maybe also instructions and money for an autopsy. Your relatives may cringe, but it could help them later in their lives to know what shape you were in and what you died of.

Having worked both in libraries and with large data sets I don't think a classification system like Dewey Decimal would work for data sets. For example, if you had a large data set of locations for people on a college campus, that da

Hmmm, there would still need to be heat transfer inside the heat sink from one side to the other via the bottom plate. Maybe that would still be more efficient than the transfer via a larger contact area between two heat sinks back to back

Interesting, so in Winter, say the outside temp is 20F and inside temp is 69F, that's a 49F difference. In Summer, say the outside temp is 85F and the inside temp is 68F, a 17F difference. Maybe I'd get at best 50% heat recovery

I've been looking for an inexpensive PPS with heat exchanger that fits in a window (preferably an Andersen window, the kind that opens sideways, but maybe that's too much to ask). Since there don't seem to be any on the mark

Will this law apply to cars? Preventing car makers from using rubber instead of silicone for gaskets and seals for example? Requiring the use of aluminum or stainless steel for car bodies?

I helped run a wireless research data archive for a while. We made smaller data sets available via internet download but for the larger data sets we asked people to send us a hard drive to get a copy. Sneakernet can be faster and cheaper

The guide needs a section on safety with a notice that users of the bench can read. A cordless vacuum cleaner would be a useful addition to the tool list as well.

Why doesn't the plume sometimes ignite? I know methane is lighter than air so it would rise straight up, subject to winds. Seems like an electrostatic spark from say dust in the air would happen once in a while and ignite the plume.

Since they are only usable on low speed roads I wonder how that would affect a crash test, even with a much bigger vehicle. Even SUV's have to contend with crashes with an 18 wheeler or other big truck.

Watched the video again. Maybe it actually detects presence instead of just motion? Maybe by detecting breathing and heartrate? That would be more useful, though add a wireless connection and you have a great device for spying on people
