In almost every system with failsafes there will be conditions that can bypass them. The goal is not to make it impossible for the unsafe condition to happen, but to make it so that in the expected uses the failure will not happen. In this

Well that will depend on your local laws, but to my knowledge except for certain authorised pilot programs all cars on the road must have a driver. Where I live if you are in the driver’s seat no matter if you were actually actively driving

At the moment in every jurisdiction I’m aware of the driver is always considered as “in charge” of the vehicle no matter what assistance functions are being used. It’s the driver’s responsibility to avoid collisions in all cases. If you hav

On modern macOS applications can flag an input field as secure, which blocks keypress interception. The permission is fairly new, but the actual feature has always been there as part of the window server. I used it back in the 10.4 days to

Don't most people already have a plug in their garage? All mine certainly have. There's no need to get full EVSE for most people, a 2.4kW outlet as found almost everywhere outside North America will easily handle daily driving nee

For viscose most rayon a gentle cycle in a front loading washing machine is generally fine, though the more silk-like variants are less resilient. You might want to put it in a garment washing bag to make sure it doesn't get stretched

Degradation Rates of Plastics in the Environment ( https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acssuschemeng.9b06635 ) shows PET degrading very slowly in the environment. _Very_ slowly. Researchers have found bacteria that do

I just try to buy natural or the semi-synthetic cellulose fabrics, there's quite a variety. Natural fabrics are cotton, silk, wool and linen of course, but the semi-synthetic fabrics like the rayons (viscose, modal, "bamboo",

Wow that is stupid. NZ banned disposable or non-rechargeable vapes only, refillable/pod-swappable and rechargeable ones are still on sale.

As accurate as our knowledge of genetics, which is not very outside of the identified set of pathological genes associated with hereditary disorders. Your genome is very complex and we don’t have a model of how every gene interacts with eve

As the other commenter said, alignment issues have never been a problem. If you're manually aligning the sheets on the photocopier bed maybe, but the edges are set up for that so it's never been an issue for me. However every phot

As a consumer I used to use it all the time, though it matters a lot less these days. Two A4 pages at 50% zoom (A5) fit on one A4. You could cut your printing cost for drafts in half by doing that, back when we had to actually print to chec

I had the reverse, we had to get a ream of US Letter and corresponding envelopes sent over so we could ensure the layouts printed properly. Also some chequ… “checks” which were fascinating.

Many (mostly European and North American) manufacturers can’t even be bothered flipping the indicator and light controls around, there’s no way they’d flip the whole fuel tank.

The full text of the acute pain paper is available via EuropePMC https://europepmc.org/article/MED/33381643 It has an interesting conclusion that says more research in to CBD rather than THC is needed and cites so

This paper is very much a case of read past the abstract, especially the limitations of the study. As always it’s important for a clinician to explain the risks and current evidence when prescribing, no matter the substance. A lot of medici

I've had this discussion with American friends quite recently, it's very much an American English thing to not use those constructions. Certainly in British, New Zealand, and Australian English we do all the time.

The only reason is cost. If you don’t need the purity then save the money.

Because it’s a proprietary design? You’d have to reverse-engineer the whole chip, which is really hard to do on that process node

Wait until you find the places people use non-SI but still metric units, it's super fun.

It Depends. It's going to depend on your location, how your health system works, and a bunch of luck. Even in the most well-resourced system if your high-priority call comes in just after a bunch of other high-priority calls you may no

Yes, that's why you engage with the people doing the work first and run it on a staging environment to see what would be overwritten. You test until it's working well enough to enhance the effort done by the translators.

Those would be the guidelines that all translation contributors are expected to follow, which are given to all prospective translators. It sounds like Mozilla just turned on the machine without consulting the human translators to see if the

In New Zealand a pretty basic 3.5kW (the internet told me that’s about a “ton”) mini split will cost about NZ$2000 including basic installation - that’s with the units on the same wall, ground floor, including the line set cover and running

I was shocked when I saw the price of heat pump installation in the US, even with an existing ducted system. There’s no reason a reversible heat pump system should be significantly more expensive than a cooling only one.

I (well, my landlord) replaced a similarly old refrigerator last year. The thermostat was fine, it had developed a very slow gas leak and the charge had dropped enough that it was freezing rather than cooling. It was using around 29kWh&#x2F
