I get it. You want to store energy in man-made tornadoes, then discharge them slowly when wind calms down. So the optimal layout is circular. By adjusting the turbine, they can either feed into or pull out of the cyclone. Genius!

If I can slow my kids down by a year or three, it's well worth it.

Other than keeping things visibly clean, if you are wearing a papr, does the other equipment actually help with your health? If you could do it again would you just go for your basic cyclone + papr?

But that leads us to another feature of PHP - It is fun!

I think it's the fact there are no compile times (those runtime tools you are talking about are at your fingertips) that people historically have not worried as much about types in PHP and JS. In many cases it does just feel like verbo

It looks good as well. At the same time, all these plastic materials are petroleum based products we are piping our drinking water through, although we likely have no choice for this century at least.

Probably because the junction boxes would be unwieldy more than anything.

Doing a little reading and there is some truth to some of what you say, but it is not any more correct than what I said because we are both a bit lacking in nuance, so I will just leave a few links for further reading. I don't agree wi

Pex gets eaten through by rats and then you get to replace 20% of your house if you don't catch it in time. Copper for water is better, or you could run PEX in CSST conduit everywhere (never seen or heard of it). I don't know enou

The problem was not the oxidation. That problem is easily dealt with by applying antioxidant paste at the wire terminations, as is required. The problem was single strand solid conductor aluminum wiring. Higher capacity wires are multistran

It's also a terrible attitude to an engineering and operations challenge. What is this dark box of 'luck'? We know the potential concerns, and can design and act accordingly.

Well then it should be f-ing NOTHING to stripe, and they should shorten their hold time. No doubt they, with all their supposed programming intelligence, can come up with a fancy algorithm that reduces their risk by 99% but releases the mon

It is a tiny amount of money comparatively speaking. They should not put a freeze over a couple of days. If there is no dispute, then their risk drops exponentially. If the amount were much higher, they should just devote more human resourc

A cruise missile strapped to a plane is not what people mean when they talk about hypersonics, even if it is (barely) technically correct. The new class of hypersonic missiles are aiming to be Mach 20 or faster, and highly maneuverable in c

Try pre-infusion. Press slowly until you get one or two drops through, wait 30 seconds or so for the grounds to absorb water, then finish the single pass as slow as you can reasonably do so.

I bought a cheap cat toy laser on amazon that was so powerful our eyes hurt just from testing the thing on our light gray walls etc. Some things are not worth messing around with.

You are kind of deciding Amazon's business model for them, or describing what you would like them to be. But your description doesn't fit well with their "Do you have one of these to sell?" links etc. It seems fair to sa

The darkest Italian roast has nothing at all to do with what goes as dark roast - and especially not Italian roast - in the US. The absolute darkest roast I ever saw in Italy was with just a hint of oil showing on the bean, and I only saw t

We use an old stand-alone version of FineReader. I cannot tell you if their current offerings are worth the price.

There could be no trust for such an agreement, hence it will never happen.

Exactly. Xpath is great. Also, being able to have as many types of closing tags as you want to define, makes it much easier to visually parse what is going on in a complex data structure. That alone has a ton of value. I am still struggling

ABBYY has been much better than anything else due to its abilities to fine tune layout, recognition, and export parameters. I follow threads like this, always looking for the latest and greatest, but nothing else is worth the time for a sma

Won't you just wind up with a collage from either source? Answer is yes, because those $5/h workers are likely just as educated, but from a less affluent part of the world.

Those are trivial to verify. If you can't do your 5 minutes of research, OP should not feel obliged to humor your attempt to create busy work for them.

My observation was that the people buying into that demonization don't do it because they are dumb, but because it serves their purposes. I agree with your last sentence, but this works because that last group is a minority (even if ba
