I don't recall ever seeing something like this so I wanted to know what they look like. Here's a short video that shows a guy walking around looking for them. He also talks briefly about some uses he has for them. https:/&

It wouldn't help for rail already installed, but I wonder if you could insert two corrosion-resistant pins in the rail at some standard distance apart. The pins would be installed when the rail is at its "neutral stress temperatu

It depends on if you're trying to minimize damage to your car, or the passengers. For a light impact where you aren't going to sustain any injuries it might be optimal to let off the brake. But if the accelerations are going to c

When you do this is there a way to completely get rid of the information? Usually you can go back an look at the edit history to see the original post.

Definitely not a US-only thing. Every time there's an article on BBC about someone getting in trouble for saying something offensive they often don't even provide a quote of what was said.

House prices may have doubled (even that sounds high), but in a lot of places condo prices are down to where they were 5 years ago, with listing prices often being reduced from the initial price. This is the opposite of what you hear about

I remember seeing an image a long time ago that revealed a different image when you highlighted it. But I could never find any references to the technique since then. Does anyone else remember something like this?

That's not the correct comparison. Household income often includes two incomes, which is going to bring the value up. Your same link says the median earnings for a male individual is $61,417. Not significantly less, but this distinc

They used to make swamp coolers that you would put in your car window and it would blow cool air into the car. I always thought those were really cool. Completely unpowered, no electricity. It's such a simple design compared to AC un

"how could you?" How could you not? It blew my mind how little push back there was against the use of this slur. Even more frustrating was that a lot of people using it were the people who claimed to be fighting against bigotry.

There was a DJ called Fuckstorm that used to do some live PAs with this. I used to have some mp3s of his. I can't find any examples of his music online anymore, unfortunately.

I find it funny that this is the assumption for Japan. But if we were talking about how people in the US still use checks (as do other countries), then it's because Americans are dysfunctional and behind the times.

It does sound suspicious, but it works out. Let's say you have $100k to invest, have a 30% tax rate, and your investment will give you a 2x return by the time you're ready to withdraw. Pre-tax investment: Invest $100k and it beco

Not sure why people don't like this comment. It's correct. Whether you pay taxes on your income and then invest it, or invest it and then pay taxes when you take it all out the result is the same (assuming your tax bracket doesn

An earlier form of anti-lock brakes were available in some American cars starting in the late 60's. It was standard in the 1974 Lincoln Continental, 4 years before Mercedes even had it as an option. https://www.hagerty.com&

I don't know about SF, but in the South Bay, house prices may be up, but condo prices are the lowest they've been in years. And that is despite record low interest rates.

It's not common at all, but it's very achievable for most engineers in the US if they're willing to live below their means. Engineers in the US make 2-3x the median income. The difference in disposable income is even greate
