So first off: charge is quantized. Glossing over some weird particles (like quarks) which can't exist by themselves an integer multiple of e as their charge. It's been a while since I finished undergrad so my knowledge is rusty, b

Note: this is only true for air-source heat pumps. Ground source-heat pumps aren't affected by ambient air temperature, but they're also much more expensive and require suitable ground. Also, I hear air-source heat pumps have made

I think you're wrong on this. How often does software get created without the creator having a primary goal in mind? How often is the main goal handling things going wrong? If I write something to build a chart out of some logs, the fi

Could you elaborate? I've seen this tendency (or an acknowledgement of it) in even the best people I've worked with, ones who are far better programmers than me. I've spent a lot of my career primarily pair programming, so I&

I’m sure they have incredibly granular information about exactly where in a video most people spend their time watching, where they stop watching, where they pause, where they fast forward/rewind, and probably more. As a company whic

Yeah! It being at or below waist level makes a huge difference. I usually get at least one skeptical look when I pull up to the local lumber yard with it. I'm always the only non-truck or van there.

How rough is the terrain you're going over? I've taken a Honda Fit on some pretty terrible dirt roads out in the countryside. Clearance has occasionally been a bit tight, but the Fit is a pretty low to the ground car already and i

People go camping carrying stuff on their backs after all, or by strapping stuff to bicycles. I'm assuming that because "impromptu camping" is an option we're not talking about someone who has kids in the first place,

Venus would be a pretty unpleasant place to live for many reasons, one of which is how balmy it is due to its atmosphere being quite effective at trapping heat from the sun. We actually spend quite a bit of energy doing the work of moving h

We usually have some appearance of a mouse once every couple of years. I suppose it’s possible others are getting in and being eaten by our cats or dog first, but that seems unlikely. Regardless, I believe cats which have eaten infected mea

Yes? This is certainly common everywhere I’ve lived in the US, though it’s also common to have cats that go outdoors too. I think a majority of the cat owners I know have indoor-only cats.

I used a JBL Flip 4 speaker to listen to audiobooks and podcasts while floating in the pool for a while. Bluetooth doesn’t penetrate more than a few centimeters into water, so I’d just put my phone in a dry bag, tie it to the side of the sp
