I would prefer gas over regular electric for kitchen stove and range. I like having a gas water heater, although I understand there are more expensive electric units that end up being more efficient, and that is appealing. I would like to h

Maybe you're interested in a NUC, then. I remembered earlier there is an alternative GPU form factor for laptops called MXM. You can get desktop boards that accept these, I think they are called Micro-STX or Mini-STX. They are small, a

There's plenty of middle ground. In terms of size, you have Mini ITX as pointed out by another comment, and there's MicroATX which is perhaps more common than regular ATX. And of course there are several mini systems like the Mac

This is true but also not quite. First, they only had 59% of the House, not enough to overcome filibuster. Second, they did have 60% in the Senate, but only for a few months in 2009, and it's not obvious that it was an "overcome f

How is it legalistic fiction? What are people obligated to do, that is not required by law? I hope you're not talking about stuff like breathing. I'll also say that I haven't been thinking about morals, which I would agree

_Why_ is that the American colonists were very familiar with life in contemporary England, which had recently had a civil war over (among other things) religious freedom; the Pilgrims were mostly people who had fled England because of relig

The way you wrote your reply certainly read to me like you believe Twitter should act as if it has that obligation. You start by drawing a line between moderation and what Twitter has done, which is ban the former President. You then point

That's not what gerrymandering does. No districting scheme forces the elected representative to do what the voters want. Once they get elected, they have their term, and can vote however they want barring expulsion or recall. Gerrymand

I don't think so, because allowing you to work from home doesn't immediately make the cheaper labor cheaper or more available. That is, "they" can already outsource you, WFH or not.

They also cool faster and depending on material, don't transfer heat at the same rate. Cast iron pans are actually not great at heat transfer, which is why you see pans like all clad where there's aluminum or copper clad in steel.

I think the point is that you can strongly disagree with a statement without painting its author as incompetent. Regardless of whether that was the intent, that's certainly how it reads.

It does exist in the US, and they do sell them at Wal-Mart, although not the full line and (at least in my area) not in-store. The Sceptre website shows everything 'ReStock Soon', so maybe the latter is temporary. There aren'

I was looking at monitors the other day and wondering who buys the large format gaming monitors. Gigabyte has a 48" OLED right now that looks pretty good for about $1100. Philips has a 55" VA panel for $1600. Both are 4k/120H

No, there is no reason to have a little humility and willingness to understand people killing children for body parts to use in a magic ritual to earn money. There's no evidence that it works, there's no evidence that it should wo

I've wondered about this. Are the TV-sized 'gaming monitors' smart tvs? Looking at a couple of OLED ones - Aorus FO48U, Alienware AW5520QF - it doesn't look like it. No wireless, and they are expensive. It's not cle

I was thinking about Whispernet too, and then I thought about Sidewalk, and how some cable ISPs are offering wifi hotspot service via the router they rent you (Comcast does this). Would manufacturers need to add cellular support if they cou

It's not like they are drop-in replacements for whatever you've got, either. I was interested in these about 15 years ago when I bought a house. They want a dedicated circuit with a 240V outlet and 40 or 50 amp breaker. My house h

I don't think it would be useless, you'd just have to deal with the locked-in part - probably easy to pick - and then replace the seat tube. So, first: I don't really know anything about stealing bikes. I've just built a

I have the CalDigit TS3 Plus and two identical Dell 24" displays (U2415). One monitor is attached via TB3/USB-C to DP, the other DP to DP. This setup worked with a 2018 Intel MBP without issue. With an M1 Pro MBP, the monitors are

We've talked about this a lot internally. They make a big deal about releasing on the 22nd of every month, but they usually have to turn around and release a patch shortly thereafter. 14.8 is a bit of an extreme: 14.8.0 on the 22nd, 14

It's not actually this simple, although it's safe to think of it this way and it's not dumb or ignorant to do so. Killing pathogens is a time vs. temperature thing. You frequently see instructions to cook e.g. poultry to 165F
