If you add a laser pointer you'll effectively get yourself arrested within a few hours. Aircraft get laserd relatively often and it's dangerous to the pilots. We report it to air traffic control with an estimated location, they th

Lagunitas is a Heineken brand so both your favourites come from the same kitchen so to speak.

The older XPS "developer edition" models with a lot of ram and an SSD also make very good home servers. Power usage at idle is a fraction of what you would otherwise use and the performance is great.

The US currently has only 1% of the rail network electrified, so running power lines is going to be a huge project. Europe went the other way and has on average 54% electrified. With the Benelux / DACH / France region even around

Ah yes, we used Dyn global load balancer 10 years ago. It was a great solution at the time. But they kept their high prices while AWS started offering more flexible solutions at 1/100th of the Dyn price.

For a home server you probably don't need PCIe 16x for the GPU? If you even need a GPU at all?

I use node-red for the same kind of things, with subflows. At some point it makes a lot more sense to write a function node (javascript) than to use node-red as intended. Avoids a lot of the spaghetti.

And Home Assistant itself is python so it may be a better fit than the often used NodeRed which is JS based.

Not at all. You can make them stop saying they're open source and you can get a refund + maybe some damages if you claim to have bought their product based on this false ad, but that's all. In no way are you ever going to convince

Unlikely to be survivable for an airliner. Most air to air missiles are designed not to hit the target but to blow up close to it and destroy the aircraft using the shockwave. So it may target an engine exhaust but the explosion will damage

I think the problem isn't technical. Point to point links or satellite fit the requirements. The problem is that it's very dangerous to operate one in a state where the government has turned the internet off to suppress protests.

And to make it even more weird: The Netherlands, right next door, has just installed a new government that wants to build 2 new nuclear power plants. Part of the reasoning is that solar and wind need to be combined with something. That some

Crying infant has a quite specific frequency range that makes my wife jump immediately. Our cat has figured out that meowing at that frequency is very effective. So you may be on to something for high priority / safety alerts...

Automotive has quite broad temperature and vibration requirements and is supposed to work for 15 years+ so it makes sense to pick something like this.

So far electric vehicles are getting worse not better, because they're less regulated on things like OBD access. And manufactures see them as a chance to make an always connected car that phones home. Tesla was first but everyone else

They still have some of the brand association of luxury, but indeed it's a very normal airline just like all the others. With similar service, legroom and food. But with no direct flights, which is less comfortable.

It's not that unexpected, because you do recurrent training in the simulator every 6 months. And there is a set of emergencies that is done every time, for example engine failure / fire during takeoff must be done. All pilots are

It's not just pay, it's also very demanding schedules (which is a safety concern, many incidents happen due to crew fatigue) and zero labor protection in UAE laws. I know a few ex-Emirates pilots that got fired during the pandemic

Pilot here. This is completely wrong, nobody ever gives altitude instructions above ground level. That doesn't exist in ATC terms.

The black hole effect applies to visual flight, mostly the landing part. Not accelerating on a runway with runway lights and completely forgetting to look at the basic instruments.

Gulf carriers in general share that reputation for bad working conditions for crews and bad safety practices. Your safest choice is a US or EU legacy carrier. But for example in Asia you will not have that choice for local routes. Then ther

Emirates may have a good score on some passenger metrics but they don't have a good rep with most pilots. There has been another incident where an Emirates crew lacked any kind of basic aircraft handling: https://en.wikipedi

They can't, because their working conditions are terrible compared to those other airlines. Nobody with thousands of hours of jet time would ever switch from a US or EU legacy carrier to someone like Emirates.

Canon EF is like Nikon F, it works on both types of cameras. Canon EF-S is what Nikon calls DX-only, cheaper but only works on smaller sensor cameras.

You could get a 12v to 48v DC converter on the car side of things. That already helps a lot in cable thickness.

An explanation for that may be that airplanes (unlike cars and trains) keep their turning forces almost perfectly downwards. A turn in a car or train has a sideways component, but a plane banks in the turn so the force is still pointing str

Not only the Dutch health services disagree, also the British NHS has this in their public info: > You can get pregnant as little as 3 weeks after the birth of a baby, even if you're breastfeeding and your periods haven't start

This claim is made often enough that child birth care in the Netherlands specifically informs all new parents that breastfeeding is not a good contraceptive. It may work for some, but it's not a guarantee at all.
