It might have dialed 112, as that sometimes also links to 911 (and 112 is much easier to accidentally dial).

What's the difference? My understanding (perhaps an incomplete one) was that they worked essentially the same way, just optimized for different things (power density vs energy density).

I know what they mean by the headline, but isn't laminated veneer lumber itself a composite? I guess they mean it outperforms fiberglass.

I know this was just a lighthearted comment, but for folks like me who like to take things too seriously... "grand" has the same value, and has the benefit of already being in common use.

It's not specifically about Changi, but you might also be interested in the book "Rats of Rangoon" by Lionel Hudson which is all about the author's experiences during WWII in the Rangoon prison camps (also run by the Jap

In the US, it was only required in 1952 (due to the aforementioned law passed in 1947), and there was very little experience with it before then. By 1947, it was clear that diesel was going to replace steam due to steam's significantly

Agreed. But people hated 10 more than 8.1, so they labeled 10 as a bad release and 8.1 as a good release so that the pattern could fit. Now that people hate 11 more than 10, people say that 10 was good so that the pattern can fit.

If I buy 2 gallons of gas, and my car gets 30 mpg, then I can go 60 miles. Doesn't seem that hard to me. Need the other way around? I need to go 100 miles. At 30 miles per gallon, that's a little over 3 gallons. This is simple men

Cells often get sold with a "# of charge/discharge cycles until you hit 80% capacity" rating, at least on the 18650 datasheets I've looked at. So my guess is that they took that number and multiplied by the range per cyc

Agreed. Back when windows 10 was out, 8.1 was considered a good release and 10 was considered a bad release. Now 10 has suddenly become good somehow, and 8.1has been lumped in with 8.

For those interested, this is a good video that summarizes the US's high speed steam locomotives, from a YouTuber who works on steam locomotives (despite the title, it's fact oriented and there's not too much flag waving). Th

Yup. It's not because of the personal security risk, it's because of the national security risk (whether you think that risk is a big deal or not depends on your personal opinions, but I guess the folks in DC think it's impor

There's a lot of anecdotal evidence that some American steam locomotives went >120 mph in passenger service (the Milwaukee Road's F7's and the Pennsylvania Railroad's S1's, for example). I believe if you look at

Private train cars never went away, as far as I'm aware. Amtrak has (always?) allowed folks to couple private cars to the end of their trains (for an eye-watering price, of course).

RapidHarness is good, although it's paid. If you're at a university, they sometimes provide educational licenses for free if you ask nicely.

Would you still read the Ainulindalë and Valaquenta first, or would you save those for last? I would also add that the chapter "Of Beleriand and its Realms" is OK to skip if it's not your thing, especially on a first read. It

Worth mentioning that a spelling reform like Twain's would mean that every accent would need to be spelled differently, or the sounds wouldn't match for most speakers. It's quite possible that some British dialects would be v

This is a great idea; but surely you meant to say "demystify", not "mystify"? I'm not sure government procedures need to be any more opaque...

I think it's more likely the old composers took the old part names and adapted them to congregational music. It's not that Shape note singers (we're talking Americans in the late 1700s, early to mid 1800s) didn't accept

Voice crossing is also very common, especially between the tenor and treble parts ("treble" is what shape note singers call the top part on the page, where the soprano part would usually be). Both men and women sing tenor and treb

I've grown up with both shape note singing and regular "round note" singing. Shape note is best for music that doesn't change key, and doesn't use many accidentals. The more "modern" the harmony, the less

Editable power symbols is a very welcome change. It's a small thing but it was quite annoying not being able to edit them like you can in Altium etc.

All they've proved that Bach's music is unpredictable; I don't see how that makes it "great". I know I could definitely write something that's both unpredictable and crap.

Oh I see, that's neat. That makes way more sense that what I was thinking.
