I had a calculus professor that asked a physics problem on a quiz, and all the students that understood physics got the problem "wrong". It was something dumb about pulling a wheeled suitcase up an incline at a constant speed, and

You should become one of those consultants!

That sucks. If it happened recently, though, don't completely lose hope. My mother-in-law had a stroke with a poor prognosis, and years later she's fully recovered and teaches piano!

Last time I looked into it end-to-end, it seemed like a NiMH cell would need to be reused like 500 times in order for it to actually be an improvement for the environment over one-time-use alkaline. NiMH is better than NiCd but still relati

How is that much different than just using malloc and then letting the OS clean up when the process exits?

My oscillating multi-tool is great for working on the house, but just murders my carpel tunnel.

At least I can fix it from Windows, because it's just some uefi parameter that gets borked. I have the command in a text file on my desktop.

I have windows on a separate SSD, and grub still stops working whenever I update my motherboard firmware...

I took high school AP physics without the prerequisites, and managed to do well in it. An underclassman took it after I graduated, and apparently the teacher would goad him on by saying that exactly, but compared to me rather than Einstein.

Me too. It seems to be a trait of big-tech culture/politics, and something vaguely similar to what's emerging within my immediate work group. The company has grown 30x since I joined, and hired a lot of big-tech people, so the cul

There's at least two different lab tests for vitamin D, one that measures the level in its inactive form, and one that measures the level in its active form. The inactive level is what you'll get for a routine test. The other test

Yeah, when my cast iron skillet starts to act up I'll just lightly scrub it with dish soap and a brillo pad, dry it, then add a very light coating of oil and heat it up on the stove until it smokes. You want some ventilation of course.

They would need to pay a technician to do that. Having the typical consumer do that would definitely result in injury and fire.

I looked under my William Sonoma grinder today, and the metal screws and bracket near the ceramic grinder are in fine shape.

Yeah, a blade coffee grinder. For sure don't run salt through your expensive burr grinder!

You do need 100%, otherwise you'll end up with a void at the top once the plastic melts. You could experiment with intentionally designing in a "sprue" of extra material to melt and control where the void is, but I haven&#x27

Coconut oil is relatively healthy as far as consuming oil goes, isn't it?

A coffee grinder will quickly make a lot of really fine salt. I do that when I need to heat treat 3D printed parts to improve their material strength. You pack the part into fine salt, bake it at the original extrusion temperature, then slo

What timescale are you talking about? I have a William Sonoma salt grinder, as well as one that my friend made for me. They're both about 5 years old. As far as I know there's no significant deterioration on either one. The grindi

That's why I take out a dozen or so unpopped kernels before popping the rest. It's easier to throw them right in the trash, rather than have to pick them out of the rest of the popped corn.

License, kernel, filesystem, userspace tools, package repository, user interface, general approach to configuration management.

Is that really true? With full duplex, you should be able to route 1Gbps in and 1Gbps out simultaneously. Are you sure you aren't just hitting a CPU or ISP bandwidth limit?

Another one. We once had to get a solar car inspected by the state for registration. They needed to hook up a tube to the exhaust for an emissions test. We just pointed them to the battery's cooling exhaust. Another solar car, a police

Couldn't you just give them an empty rule set? Like, make it a nice official looking report. I had to certify a low speed vehicle using a government test procedure. It called for all test equipment to be calibrated within the last year

I have jellyfin on my Roku, and it seems consistent with the android app and web UI. I'm curious what specific problems you had?

A few years ago I randomly suffered from total heart block, and over a couple months my effective heart rate gradually slowed down from 80bpm to 20-30bpm. When I ended up in the hospital, they put in a pacemaker and my heart rate immediatel

Blood pressure varies throughout the day with activity and it's all normal. My understanding is it's only considered hypertension if your pressure is high even at rest. If you're chronically stressed out all the time, though,

I am pretty sure you're making a clever pun, but I would suggest the word "natural".
