Sure, but many good deeds and about all of science pre 20th century was made by people who had too much time on their hands.

To be clear, by a couple steps I meant couple steps in the world top economies list. I wasn’t implying comparable GDP, though Turkey shouldn’t be too far on that either.

> Though Turkey has a sizeable engineering capacity, it's not a rich country. Well, to add a small clarification to this, you probably mean not rich compared to the US. Turkey, even with its current economic crisis, is still a top 2

Same here, though they say this in the paper, about the experimental confirmation they propose: "...To be clear, this would not be some simple analogue or proxy representation of a space warp phenomenon, rather it would be a genuine i

Also bought it and works great. Minor caveat is that it seems to be unable to get a 4K stream, so it’s capped to 1080p. Likely this is a YouTube limitation though.

Same for me. Though I’m 50/50 on this being a deadpan joke, especially after the last part.

Have you by any chance sold any Android phones you used to own at one point? Google I think does associative linking based on phones. If your phone eventually found its way to India, Google might have started to think something similar. Thi

Lane splitting is one of the things where it helps to be brutally honest about your skill level, lest nature calls your bluff. I personally only do it if the cars are stopped (i.e. on a red light) and not while anything other than me is in

Yeah, that makes sense. I’m on both sides on this one, I have two motorcycles, one electric scooter and one electric skateboard. Motorcycles are by far the heaviest thing. On the other hand, many motorcycles come with sacrifical rubber ‘sli

This is cool, but I’d love to see a comparison of ebikes against good old dinosaur-juice (or even electric) motorcycles. Much more difficult to steal, and for gasoline motorcycles, much better mileage per charge, charging to 100% takes 30 s

LASR, you seem to be shadowbanned, but your history doesn’t show anything weird. I vouched for this post to make it visible to everyone, but I don’t know if vouching lifts the shadowban entirely or just makes visible this particular post. Y

The nerve encoding for the auditory nerve has been decoded in 1970s. We now have devices that are able to directly tap into the auditory nerve, called cochlear implants. I presume the procedure would be similar to that.

Same in Turkey, and this applies to ancient (not modern) shipwrecks as well. While diving my cousin and uncle found an ancient shipwreck off the Aegean coast of Turkey that was recently revealed by moving silt, reported it to the state, and

I can perhaps give the model number of mine — it’s a Brother HL-2270DW laser I purchased in 2014, has wired ethernet in, wifi connection, and has been in use ever since. Most of the time it was on wifi and I can confirm wifi also works with

Do you think something like this would be made available for motorcycle tires? Motorcycles are significantly more vulnerable to tire-caused crashes because a motorcycle whose one tire violently decompresses on a highway or autobahn is very

If they’re not recycling CO2 into O2 and instead venting CO2 to space, does that mean ISS is constantly losing gas and it needs an ongoing resupply of oxygen all the time? I thought oxygen was used fast enough to make resupply impractical,

I’m not sure what survives to this day in that case is more Henrietta or more cancer. To this day the genome is becoming less and less human. So perhaps a draw still in the long term since eventually the corruption could terminate itself.

Generally, well designed bikes assume a certain pressure in the exhaust pipe and use it as a way to compute the internal combustion cycle timings, since it affects the movement of air and how long it stays and how fast it is likely to move

I suspect the new features starting to come into Workflowy last year is due to Roam Research which came out about then, and has largely been at best a slight improvement over Workflowy. I do use Roam personally, but they were very hamfisted

Thank you for more context. To Clarkson’s credit, they did show the improvements being made to the ‘wilded’ areas, like making it more hospitable for bees and owls, however, likely because of TV interest reasons they never mentioned why the

> Do they get paid for taking care of bees on their land? In the U.K. at least, they do. The government pays you to leave some part of your field unused and untouched. It’s called ‘wilding’ and it’s well paid enough that the subsidy some

That sounds very interesting, have you written about it somewhere? I (and I’m sure many others here) would find it fascinating to read about.

> They'll sell you a laptop that is Linux compatible, but not everything will work. That is despicable on Dell’s part. The definition of ‘compatible’ is that everything will work.

Except right at the same time the bidet seats were also out of stock everywhere. I scored one by being slightly earlier to wake up to what’s happening, but I know many friends that weren’t able to pick one up.

Likewise. After falling into the coffee rabbit hole in the pandemic, I’ve accidentally discovered coffee does in fact taste good. You don’t need to go as deep as I did with an espresso machine and roasting my own beans, but having freshly

I think the main difference is that Turkey does not require you to relinquish your Turkish citizenship if you get another, while India does. In a way TRs system is entirely to help out with an issue a foreign country creates, while India’s

Yes, and Turkey moved to nullify this by creating a system in which if you are otherwise a valid Turkish citizen that has to give up because of a requirement from a foreign country like this, you can get on a special status in which you can

I don’t like Erdogan as much as the next guy, but the claims of a ‘corrupt’ judiciary and ‘paramilitary’ organisations are big accusations that need extraordinary evidence.
