My only problem with my dishwasher is that it's too slow to setup two loads before going to bed.

You have to talk to someone to gauge them? You never study their behavior, how they comport themselves around others? Adolescents with daddy's keys to daddy's merc. is how Id describe them.

Thanks :) I figured it was more personable than yet another rehashing of all of McKinsey's scandals. After all who cares if they masterminded Pursue Pharma to get an entire region addicted to smack?

No, not a smoking gun. Just evidence of a degraded culture

Its gotten worse. The industry has been greatly increasing workload on fewer employees. Just a few months ago Biden forced a contract on rail workers who were complaining, among other things, how they're stretched thin to an unsafe amo

It demonstrates the working environment and management culture in the industry. In short management doesn't care. That said, "visible seepage" is infuriatingly vague. Any seal will "seep" to some extent. Oil seals c

I didn't know Petey's ex-McKinsey! I know McKinsey people, Ive been to their parties. Rubbed shoulders. Not impressed. Last time I was with them, in a room of 100 people, two were cool. One joined when his company got bought out.

And yet, magnetless generators are the mainstay of power (as in your electrical service) generators everywhere.

And a motor with a static magnetic field is just as weird.

The photon energy is proportional to its wavelength, but its not relevant. Look up Plank's Law. Its an equation for black body radiation (like, effectively, the Sun). That'll tell you how much heat the Sun radiates at any given wa

I'm confused. Amazon has no problem selling fake goods. Ive received fake batteries, fake baby shampoo, etc. Amazon has no problem selling pirated books. But if pirated books are available outside of Amazon, Amazon stops selling the or

Cool. The HiFi community has done such neat things. Never underestimate a smart community driven by love (and dash psychoacoustic delusion ;) )

"there's almost never entirely new process" I agree, but in this case the only innovation I see is applying a known solution to protect large inductor coils (transformers, motors) to protect smaller, inductor coils (speaker d

Common, his post generated an interesting discussion (and netted me 10 points).

Power engineers have been doing this for decades (a century?); estimating the temperature of a transformer or motor from a simple ODE to see if the relays need to trip. The parameters are derived from the electrical parameters of the transf

From the spooks POV thats not a problem, that's a solution! (Assuming Signal isnt compromised, then its a wash)

They are the best producer of chemical products in the world. I may be mistaken, but I think they're the ones that make the liquid crystals in LCDs (its some German company anyway).

Why would you assume that? You'd have to read a scientific paper to reach that conclusion (or do the experiment yourself) and the trustworthiness of that is what is at issue!

That's not really a problem because the current caring portion of the cable is an aluminum sheeth (good conductor, but expensive and not as strong) over a steel core (poor conductor but strong)

This is how of books were censored in the USSR. Or how the Chinese censor the Bible (in their version Jesus picks up the first stone to start a stoning) Difference is the Soviet had the honesty to censor while the author was alive.

"At very high A/C voltages, the magnetic field created by the alternating current “pushes” elections away from the core of their conductor. " Thats a frequency effect and is addressed in power-lines. The line cores are of ste

AC has two problems: 1. Long lines become a "transmission line" in the sense that you get reflections. These have to Z matched and you also have to get the phase angle right. 2 Capacitance loss to ground. The lines are a massive c

Id rephrase that: Epstein did nothing most of our leaders were doing anyway.

FYI dont drink Diet soda thats been left in hot places. Aspartame degrades to some nasty compound. Coke delivery guys make sure to rotate the diet soda when they deliver it (my wife took a day-in-the-life tour when she was at coke)

In the Rittenhouse trial this issue came up, namely the faithfulness of digital images and how computers manipulated images.

Im assuming you're employed but live in S. Cal. Some of my suggestions assume that. Thoughts: - You really need a cigarette lighter mini fridge. They're less than $100 at home depot. Note, they suck, but you don't have altern
