TY! Salt for an average person most likely is over exaggerated. But once you already have hypertension, you need to watch it.

Don't get me started on their "pinch of salt" that is more salt than I use in a week of cooking.

Bedrock is a generic term for the hard(er) layer of rock underneath the softer stuff. Manhattan has very tough bedrock (schist) London has very soft bedrock (chalk and London Clay) - and it's also deeper

If you are referring to the actual Manhattan Schist type of rock, then yes that can have an effect on the cost of tunneling, but that wasn't really what your original post said - you just said "all the bedrock". Switzerland r

I'm pretty sure there's bedrock in the rest of the world that gets tunneled through. It's not unique to Manhattan.

This is something that I have not seen very much research about (not saying it doesn't exist.) When taxes are high, then "wealthy" people will search for a method to reduce their tax burden. For business owners and employers,

Microsoft's automatically closed tickets are a running gag joke with my development team. They are pathetic - problems don't go away because you ignore them.

The biggest risk involving a forklift is probably to building, equipment, and material damage. A ROV forklift probably would not improve that.

Because it costs more than a few dollars a month. The net cost to users for Google is zero (or a token amount) because Google makes their money from data mining and selling your meta data.

I'm still pissed that Google disabled the Photo sync with GDrive. It makes backing up my photos 100x harder than it should be.

Because those people don't read or study in order to lean something new. They just expect "magic".

Trinitron were great monitors. Except you could never un-see the embedded wires once you noticed them.

Christmas LEDs are technological abominations. They literally hurt to look at.

I seem to recall the article being about Apple II hardware, but it might have been Atari 2600. They are of similar generations. edit: Yep, you are right - the article is titled "Racing the Beam" https://www.wired.com&#x

I think this had a lot to do with low quality fluorescent light ballasts in offices. I agree that it seemed to happen a lot more with CRT, but I have experienced it with LCD too.

There was a really good article shared a few weeks ago about video memory on old systems that didn't use a frame buffer, instead the video data was streamed to only a couple of bytes and calculated in real time. This had the effect of

It makes me sad that there is a non-zero chance that in a few hundred years, the end of the 20th century and the 21st century could become modern dark ages because of the inability to access digital media of the time.

I have never seen/driven a Tesla either, but I believe the only manual controls are gas, brake, steering, and turn signals. Everything else is in the touch screen UI. edit: I bit more than I originally thought, but not much. (gear sele

The context of my statement/question was definitely "given the precision that can be achieved with available precision" and not with an arbitrary imprecise constant in the calculations. As you say, the mechanical aspect of th

I don't have a source to support the OP, but I would think there is a significant allowance for course correction that reduces the required precision. It's not a purely ballistic trajectory.

I think this is an important takeaway. The current situation doesn't convert anyone and everyone from offices to WFH, but it DOES validate WFH as a viable alternative that can't be dismissed as the fantasies of a few renegade empl
