Of course the employer could pay everyone half an hour extra for a bit of overlap and a proper handover.

There was an article the other day that talked about the resale value of diamonds. Basically jewelers refuse to buy back diamonds at any reasonable price (compared to original retail value. And refuse to make new rings with old diamond etc.

I did exactly the same, engagement ring was made of plastic with some fake shiny stone! Though for our wedding rings we did get real gold with no stones.

I recently replaced the pump in my espresso machine. Turns out a lot (maybe all?) have the same solenoid pump and they are not expensive at about €25. Also found out my "Solis" machine is sold as Breville in the US.

The absolute values measured are not that high luckily. In the Netherlands at New years pm10 of greater than 1000 can be observed. I believe my outdoor sensor peaked at 900 in the first minutes of 2020. Glad fireworks were banned this year

Thanks for the extension! Don't make that meany diagrams but when I do I use it. Much easier than going to the draw.io in the browser as the extension can easily access the files in the source code

I really hope this works as good as they claim. Now just mount the laser on a Spot so you don't get all the tire tracks. Small scale robots, not giant tractors, are the real future of agriculture

Yes, because we have plenty of other options that are cheaper and don't burden future generations with a huge radioactive mess. Of course we might have to reconsider if everyone should commute to some pointlesss office job in an F150 e

What a great series! Especially impressive to see all the installations and facilities required to process the spent fuel from one temporary facility to the other. And the huge amount of steel and concrete required to do so, for now and de

I paid €3900 for 22 panels, 7.2kw system here in the Netherlands. I did install it myself (but the whole package was delivered and the electric connections done by the supplier), and the panels and inverter are cheap Chinese brands. As I di

I feel these kind of solutions where the hard shoulder is used as an extra lane are used to sneak in widening roads. When an extra lane is suggested, NIMBY and/or environmental concerns will immediately raise objections and kill the pr

Wealth stored as money is already taxed in a way in the form of inflation. I would much rather have a tax system based on consumption of non renewable and finite resources. Primarily that means tax on materials, fossil fuels and land. Own a

That really depends on the parents I would say. My kids watch about zero linear ad riddled TV and YouTube, because we don't have a TV. They do get to watch Netflix, NextTube and Disney+. And various educational programs that are stream

I love the TLDR's. Instead of opening some ad-filled site, working my way through all the cookie banners and enabling just enough js to let the actual load, I can actually get the gist of it in about 10 seconds. Also, I prefer high inf

longest train according to wikipedia is 18.000 feet (3.4 miles). If a 40ft containers needs a 60ft car, and they are double stacked, then you can fit 300 2 2 = 1200 TEU of containers on that train. A single large container vessel has 20.000

So can you technically "hide" data in a ZIP file as a form of steganography? Just add it to the zip file but mark it as deleted. Then any common zip utility will skip it, but a specialized one could extract that extra information

I fail to understand why they didn't/don't use the tugboats to wash the water away. Even small boats can cause a lot of scour with their bow thrusters along a vertical quay wall (which the Ever Given is in a way). The erosive

I never saw then try to use the prop wash of the tugs to wash away the sand instead of the slow digging with excavators. The canal is deep enough in the center, really the fastest way to move a lot of sand over small area is by washing it a

Yes you are right. I put it anyways because votes matter, being angry on the Internet does not. And the tough on crime mentality that lead to this is pushed harder by Republicans than Democrats.

I completely agree. This is a bit of a process though, look at how Texans with variable rates responded to extremely high (90 times normal rate) prices: some just said f*ck it and managed to use 10-20K USD electricity in a few days.

You can get a better price if you can guarantee availability, but there is also a market for variable supply.

It's no so bad actually, 35km of the canal doubled just a few years ago for a 4.2 Billion in less than a year, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Canal_Area_Development_Pr...

If all permits are waived and enough money is paid you could mobilize a few Cutter Suction Dredgers (like this on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBCfX-XRM1A ) in say two weeks. Working from two sides you can probably dig th

And I've heard insinuations that they are not in a hurry to apply, cause they can hide behind the lack of approval for their lack of European deliveries, and in the meantime export vaccines at a premium to the UK. Not sure if any of th
