Good time to become a beekeeper! We have one of these and we've harvested over 6kg of honey in the last couple of months https://www.honeyflow.com.au/

Mechanical engineer here. This article is very light on a lot of detail which would allow you to reasonably compare this material to steel, plastic or any other material. Just a few that come to mind: Hard materials are usually brittle mate

Probably the latter in both cases. I'd still use the word kit to denote something that comes disassembled that you need to put together. It's more like when someone describes their new phone as a "nice bit of kit". Ugh!

Why is it normal for Americans to wear a monitoring bracelet on their ankle at home? See what I did there? Please don't spread deliberate misinformation.

In Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and British/Australian/NZ English, LEGO is an uncountable noun like "rice" or "sand". The Danish LEGO company used to advocate this usage by printing the following on their sets: &

Despite the low gravity, the complete lack of atmosphere would allow the dust to settle as fast as if you dropped a brick from the same height.

So that picture of my driver's license I took for an ID check or that sensitive work document I scanned with my phone are just as likely to be sent? Great.

Maybe I'm completely paranoid here, but given that actual sex offenders commonly seek out ways to be near children, what happens if one or more of them end up in Apple's image vetting team? They'd be completely anonymous and

Western Australia is also a state and we've regularly locked down all travel from other Australian states when they have community outbreaks. We have a COVID death rate lower than New Zealand and, like NZ, have lived essentially normal

Can you please link to datasheets that verify this because I haven't seen these discrepancies in smaller (split) systems.

This reminds me of a physics joke: "Dr Heizenburg, do you know how fast you were driving?" "No, but I know exactly where I am"

Not realistic. There will always be a constraint on the best locations and zoning laws, typically reinforced by the self-interest of landowners in those locations, apply a further constraint on the density of dwellings in these locations.

First time I've heard the term "on-orbit" rather than "in-orbit". To my amateur ear it sounds wrong - like a submerged submarine described as "on-sea". There's a good discussion of why it's that

The perhaps non-intuitive answer is - everything that reduces the need for HVAC. I'd be looking at things like passive solar design so windows are shaded in summer but let sunlight in for heat in winter. Very good insulation and buildi

HVAC engineer here. Correct - and the reason that ventilation is currently limited in buildings is to reduce energy loss. Exhausting warm air in winter or cool air in summer is enormously resource intensive for a building. Depending on the

All Australian states other than New South Wales have adopted an elimination strategy as well. Here in Western Australia, we recently had a 5 day lockdown due to a single case of community transmission.

Question for people who understand the Phase 3 process - would the first step in an investigation of this type be to "unblind" the patient with the adverse reaction to see if they got the vaccine or a placebo? Seems to me if the r

This is so true. Back in the 90's my father was president of the local law society and the managing partner of a sizable law firm. He had a very sharp and enquiring mind. He's now retired, in his late 70s and beginning to show sig

HVAC engineer here. Hard to tell as they don't provide any details on the rate of evaporation. One issue for ongoing use would be scale buildup - particularly in areas with hard water. Probably the best option would be to fill it with

Why is the parent's statement incorrect? There's significant evidence that indigenous culture in Australia is at least 40,000 years old. Despite the lack of written history, there were some permanent settlements and agriculture. S
