Can downvoters explain why they are doing so? I agree with both of these points (first sale doctrine and that a license is not a contract) and would like to hear explanation of why they are mistaken here. In particular, there is no consider

Would you provide a citation for the claim that only pfizer is recommended? As opposed to, for example, the current CDC recommendation for the protein subunit Novavax vaccine, which is neither pfizer nor mrna?

Sadly very light on the subject matter of the title, mostly just a very brief LaTeX introduction page. The interesting content is the outlinks in the intro, existing templates that mimic D&D, either old school 2e style[1] or modern 5e a

The pinout for the Arduino Due is wrong. The pdf indicates the pin nearest to the reset button (top right on the board, page 124 digital / 122 printed) is D21/SCL. It is not. That is pin D71, SCL1 (emphasis on the 1) - the Due has

Unimpressed by this game. The accuracy on the scale is off by as much as 25%, as can be seen here: https://i.imgur.com/NOvqCnV.png . As the only information you're given other than a new photo is the distance, this is a

They burn at 600C (1100F) so I don't think you'd want to view the reaction directly; usually they have to be deliberately contained to contain the heat to sustain the reaction. https://youtu.be/g3Ud6mHdhlQ?t=738 (

If you want to incentivize the lowest-cost option, you should be pushing for hydrogenated saturated fats and high-sugar diets and for people to take up smoking. Morbidly obese people tend to die quickly from cardiovascular failure in thei

Except that the photos of injury they showed were damage to the duck's feet - i.e. not part of the digestive tract, and very much part of the body that's submerged in water the entire time the bird floats on a lake.

It's frustrating that the description of the video and the first few seconds of the video both establish a narrative of "acid cooking birds from the inside out " if they spend a few hours in the water, which makes absolutley

Yeah. Numitrons are like, "how about the disadvantages of a segmented display AND a nixie tube at once!" Admittedly not the high voltage requirement, but the bulky glass housing and pinout etc.

I find the original 5053x3581 image to be 5.88 MbB (6176 thousand bytes). The dithered 63.3 KB (65 thousand bytes) image is actually natively only 800x567 pixels. In other words, they get to 1% of the filesize by reducing the number of pixe

I feel the need to be pedantic here, because your post makes a couple simplifications in the same direction that skew the results by roughly an order of magnitude. 145 is the top three tenths of 1 percent, not the top tenth. The average h

Ah, yes, replace 'sweets' with 'fruits' which are about 50-75% sugar by non-water mass. Eg strawberries - 100 g is 7.7g of carbohydrates (4.9g sugar), 0.7g protein, 0.3g fat. 56% sugar. Or oranges - 165 g without membra

Right. The people mover is analogous to the wind. You can get to move at the windspeed through drag alone, at which point you no longer move relative to the air. The air is being robbed of only the fraction of energy that you're losing
