So true. How this guy captures the imagination of the English speaking world is astonishing. Sommerfeld Landau Schwinger They mop the floor with Feynman but no one remembers them. Landau, meanwhile had the most comprehensive set of physics

Right now I cant get to the machine (off, in the basement) but it is some run-of-the-mill SATA drives using a SATA expansion card. It works great but I just use it for /opt since I ran out time to move more of the machine into it. You

I think the problem was that the machines were always very expensive, even used. My Fuel has an SSD and Id use it daily except: - It's loud - It's single core - It's a furnace - It's very very loud It has a fairly modern

New Mac arm user here. Replaced a good Windows machine (Ryzen 5? 32 Gb) and I have a late intel Mac and a Linux workstation (6 core Ryzen 5, 32 Gb). Obviously the Mac is newer. But wow. It's faster even on things that CPU shouldn'

Too late. Apple has destroyed it. I just got my first ARM Mac to replace my work Win machine (what has MS done to Windows!?!? :'() Used to be I could type "display" and Id get right to display settings in settings. Now it sho

Administration. Large institutions in the USA are grossly mismanaged and/or corrupt. Normalize the amount of public money pupils cost and it easily dwarfs most elite private schools. Multiply by class size and an elementary school clas

The point is that it's nonsensical to say flying is cheaper than driving. Its oranges vs apple. Apples and oranges are fruit, flying and driving are transportation. But they're totally different. 1. You're normalizing one cos

"YMMV" I've had my testicles squeezed, fondled, but thankfully, mostly avoided.

And my fingerprints too, but I don't have to be a willing participant.

I tried but they lied and told me it wasn't an option. So I told them the sign above me said it was. So she lied and told me my ID had to be issued within the past year (mine was 14 mo. old). So I asked to speak to her manager. So she

"once you get past the range of a tank of gas or two." This is like the folks who say flying is more carbon friendly than driving. It's wrong, you're comparing a vehicle running cost with one passenger vs a full vehicle

Lazy or worried about an encroaching government?

We haven't disappeared. Look at Rep. Massie. Quite the contrary. Events such as these reveal who really believe in a sovereign, free, people and who is just cosplaying. For example, Pritti and Rittenhouse were completely within their r

I'd be surprised if the elections of '16 and '24 even register as a blip in demographic data.

Don't get me wrong, I think solar in Canada is stupid. Given a limited supply of panels, they should be installed in Arizona. "If you are trying to argue that in aggregate the demand for energy in canada drops because of high adop

Largely agree, with one big nitpick. Canada is a massive exporter of electricity to the USA. The more clean energy CND produces the more there is to displace North East's coal. Of course, solar on Canadians' roof is a joke. A prop

I think I own three. My grandfathers, my father's, and a cheap one I picked up at a garage sale as a kid. I'd never put them near my kitchen - too precious. Also, not necessary? Today I readjusted the measurements for a chemistry

Please use "volumetric" units and "mass" units. Your argument is otherwise hard to follow since presumably Europeans scale recipes too. Anyway, it's not really an issue.

The ranger has a tow rating of 7500 lb. The gross vehicle weight (ie the max vehicle weight with the heifers, obviously stuffies) of the C15 is 1500 kg (hence the name) or 3300 lb. Uhaul rents a car tow trailer rated for 5000 lb that weighs
