In the US, the way milk is sold, is that larger amounts cost less. In other words, the 1/2-gallon container, buy two of those, and it costs significantly more than a single 1-gallon container. It gets even worse for quarts. But I se

I have a copy of the CRC Standard Mathematical Tables, 27th Edition, CRC Press which I purchased as a suppliment to the text in a university calculus class I was taking. I should have picked a different year, they had both newer and older,

This looks like the infrared laser system that I worked on at a startup from 1980-1992. That system would create a full-duplex link running at either E1 or T1 speeds, with a distance limit of about 1 mile. I remember there were about a do

I just wish I had a hotkey that would turn everything on my screen to Liberation Sans Font, 14-pixel, Boldface and keep it there until I possibly hit another hotkey to reverse it. If the occasional item needs to be emphasized, then it can b

The source code is available for Chrome. Suppose one downloads the source code, and then re-enables the Manifest v2? A bit of work, particularly when you have to do other things that probably allow it to co-exist with Manifest v3, and Man

Discord seems to be going the way of Skype: deprecating their support for Windows 7, in favor of a newer OS offering from Microsoft which harvests data in the background under the feeble guise of telemetry. Granted there is telelmetry in W

I'm skeptical. I was in my 40's before I graduated from a college. Before that, I did some serious electronics with a background from my local community college, have worked production lines, taught myself assembly language when

It is my understanding that FABS require a lot of water. I don't think Arizona has enough water. I could be wrong, though. They keep a nuclear power plant running in AZ by piping in gray water for it.

Growing up, both of my grandfathers were pretty handy, fixed almost everything themselves, and had the tools to do things. My dad was pretty handy himself, and had tools. Exposed to all that, I've always been a tinkerer. My woodwork

When I was in 9th-grade jhs, I performed a similar experiment in my science class. Nobody had a clue back then (1968) of what 'borax' was or where to get it. I substituted boraxo hand soap. For the experiment to work, it took a
