> It's volume. I eat too much. Bingo. I've had this conversation with my girlfriend. She's not overweight by any means (160 cm ~55 kg) but I am quite underweight (182 cm, 65 kg, < 10% body fat) and the conclusion I&#x27

Beyond the cost aspect that other commenters have referred to, they're evolving tech. They're the first ones to have a working full-flow staged combustion cycle rocket engine (the Raptor, currently used in the Starship prototypes)

I have a deep albeit unfounded suspicion that no developer currently at Microsoft actually knows how the old Windows interfaces like Control Panel are built, which would explain why they haven't changed at all since Windows 7 and they&

I'm all for holding him accountable to his outlandishly unrealistic claims, but he and the entire SpaceX team are wholly responsible for the biggest advancements and innovations in space explorations since the space race. Credit where

My personal mnemonic for that is that the letter A is often used for getting the opposite meaning of words (moral/amoral, sexual/asexual), and even moreso in my native (non-english) language. Thus my brain wired itself to associat

Likely there's a Calibre plugin to convert to Kindle's format. Kobo also supports .epub out of the box, but the software really works best with their .kepub format. There's a Calibre plugin which automatically converts .epub

Non-US citizen here: you have to declare what you paid the nanny to the IRS? Where I'm from, only the receiving end of the money needs to declare how much they earned. The only reason we file expenses is for tax deductions. The US tax

I, too, have watched that one video of a bird getting angry at a box of blueberries whose lid wouldn't stay up.

I find RuneLite a fascinatingly well-built piece of software. The lead dev, Adam, did a fantastic job with it, and good on Jagex for allowing its use, even as far as advertising it on their own front page.

That's interesting to read. I recently visited the Netherlands on vacation and one of the things I was most impressed by was the train service. I came away from an excellent opinion of NS, but I'd probably chalk that down to my ex

The Gram always seemed very interesting to me, until I touched one at a store. I was baffled by how flimsy it felt. Picking it up while opened prompts it to bend and warp far more than I'm comfortable with. I guess rigidity must be sac

It really is incredible how far Dell has come. Their flagship consumer XPS line seems to be plagued with issues at every release. A relative of mine has an XPS 15 9550 which has had several issues, the worst of which was the battery swellin
