I’m going to offer a different suggestion to the sibling post, and say it’s probably referencing The Mother of all Battles - a phrase that kicked up a lot of fuss in 1991: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowclone#The_m

I could be mistaken, but Oracle’s Always Free tier seems to me to be fool-proof in terms of accidentally incurring charges. You do have to provide a credit/debit card on signup, however they promise that it won’t be charged unless you

I think the theory that Tom Bombadil is Eru is fun, but in letter 181, Tolkien said: “There is no ’embodiment’ of the Creator anywhere in this story or mythology.”

Did anyone else do jail time in Ultima Online? I got a week for exploiting a bug I discovered (maybe I wasn’t the first) involving the shopkeepers who could run stalls for you. Like all NPCs, they would pick up everything not locked down w

I find the other trade off (against the extra fuel consumption from each takeoff and climb) interesting. Additional fuel is consumed to carry the weight of the additional fuel required for a longer range (and so that is recursive). For exam

Just my thoughts on the illusion in case it's helpful. I saw this illusion tonight when I suddenly saw the moon behind the top of a distant tree. I think the suddenness adds to the illusion, and the explanation of the brain's imag

Of course, I had never read Microsoft's Privacy Statement in full, but I've just stumbled upon the sentence in the Windows section which I interpreted as saying that Windows should no longer be considered as completely residing on

Were you including flat engines in that statement? Like, an online 6 is better balanced than a flat 6? If not, do you happen to know how a flat 6 compared with an inline 6 for vibrations/balance? A quick search didn’t find me anything.

Flat fours and sixes definitely have a balance advantage over V6 engines, but I’m not sure there is much difference to a straight (in-line) four or six. They are also perfectly balanced until some higher order harmonic (something I can’t re

Just going from memory - but I’m fairly sure that around 25 to 30 years ago, in Australia, it did work the way that is being described. That is, the person receiving the call could not disconnect the call by hanging up. The person making th

Did you include low storage (e.g. 16GB) iPhone 6S and SE 2016 in your search? I’m mostly just curious whether your primary phones generally cost less than those. It would be hard to find much for cheaper than those where I am. Unrelated, bu

I suppose if you absorbed all of the energy from the car, rather than just being pushed back by it, then the damage might be more comparable. For example, I think if someone was standing against a wall and a car rolled into them at 10mpg it

I suppose 318 hp per tonne being soccer mom category was hyperbole. To save anyone else who is reading this late trying to work this out in their head, the hp/tonne of the 2007 Nissan GTR was less than 280 hp/tonne and had 0-97 km

The 5th gen iPod Touch (and 6th and 7th) is only 6.1 mm thick, so while I don't think just because Apple can pull it off Pine64 should be able to also, it seems like there might physically be enough space. I was going to note that the

I think there is also a similar story told in Chickenhawk, which is Robert Mason's retelling of his Vietnam war experiences. It may be that he presented it as a rumour too though. Off-topic: I enjoyed Chickenhawk much more than I would
