It’s not a mayday situation as there isn’t any immediate danger for a single failed engine. The captain should have used the phrase ‘pan-pan’, which indicates an urgent situation but no immediate danger to life or aircraft. Also squawk 7700

Yes. Before there may have been sesame, it was a lottery. Now there definitely is or is not sesame, which is what's important to people with allergies. Though it's weird that the FDA don't just allow a 'may contain trace

Your ‘counter example’ is exactly what we want to happen. It’s not that they’ve added sesame where there was none before, it’s that they’re having to declare that sesame might be there. It’s great news for people with sesame allergies and h

I was going to go on a rant about how smart isn't useful unless it's easier than not-smart - my lights are either on a motion sensor, timer or based on device usage so we never actually need to do anything with them. The bedroom,

That's a pretty typical design for power supplies. Transformers output depends on the mains input. Where I am this is nominally 230V, but in reality ranges from 235-245V. So they often use a linear regulator to obtain the required volt

That would be very difficult to do, Postgres prepared statements are attached to connections so prepared statements would require connection pinning of some sort. It would be nice to have a wider scope for prepared statements.

My city has replaced all the meters with pay-by-plate, either through the city’s app or using kerb-side pay stations that accept cash and cards. It works well, and enforcement can be done by plate recognition. It’s more convenient for users

And C# can do that with static typing via LINQ, which is really nice honestly. It’s a bit different but it would be something like: var result = await (from c in Customer where c.orders.sum(o => o.price) > 1000 select c).ToListAsy

That's due to old-fashioned plumbing. Wayyy back in the day when water networks were fairly new they often couldn't provide the water pressure we have now, especially in hilly areas. It was fine for cold water, but not enough to p

It does, but like everything absorbed through the digestive system it gets extensive first-pass metabolism through the liver before entering the rest of the circulatory system. Oral estrogen comes in 2mg tablets, but this results a few in µ

This is a very good point - AWS uses tags to give instances a friendly name, so the name does not have to be unique. The same logic would not fail on AWS.

"Wine" has been used for alcoholic beverages made from fruits other than grapes (or sometimes flowers, but never apples) since at least 1398 according to the Oxford English Dictionary. Sometimes it's just used as a catch-all

I wouldn't consider them experts on the language, since English is not a prescriptive language. However, they do provide good historical references on use of words to avoid the ridiculous 'you can't use that word like that&#x

That really depends on where you are. The USA is really weirdly keen on using titles like that compared to where I live.

Since that cable is USB-C only, and I don't have USB-C ports on my gaming PC, I have a 5m (~16ft) USB-A to C cable. Pure copper all the way, just much heavier than a regular weight USB cable. I have no issues with data rate or packet l

Apple Maps has the same feature, but it's an opt-in change so I just ignore the announcement and it'll keep me on the previous route. Plus it's one of the things Siri works well for, just saying No will cancel it.

Wow, where I am you can get a photoelectric smoke alarm for approx USD 7, or one with a 10 year battery for US$12. Ionisation type detectors are pretty much gone from the market.

If you're using MS SQL Server it natively supports temporal tables, which take care of this problem for you. There's also an extension for Postgres, and of course triggers. Temporal tables should really be used more often.

Flint switched their water source to one that was more corrosive, which resulted in much more lead entering the water. It was down to water chemistry. Water without the corrosive elements won’t pick up much lead.
