Of course 3/4 of the people responding to how cold can a phone get are from Minnesota. Lolol. Edit: I am also

I’ve found this is very much a function of how new/good the battery is. I’ve been out skiing in ~0 degrees for a couple hours with a newer phone and not had trouble and I’ve had the same phone a year or two later go dead after 45min in

Read the packaging closer. Most of the "uncured" meats use concentrated celery salt which is a strong source of nitrates. They do this so that they can still "cure" the meat, just "naturally". At the end of the

From some of the studies that I've seen of primary care practices moving to a cash only model, I think its in the range of 15-20% reduction in overhead costs. These were for the most part smaller independent clinics, so the number is p

Had to have a recent loss to learn this, but in the funeral home's options package was to send some of the ashes to space for $2500. The director skipped over that page quickly, but it was a picture of a Falcon 9 taking off

This line of thought is very reasonable for normal engines, but I wonder if it’s not quite right for the raptor. I’m not 100% on this, but I think the raptor actually runs really oxygen rich. According to Elon’s tweet and Wikipedia, it runs

While I work on much smaller codebases and so don’t have any particular insight into how DOMA will work for such large organizations, the piece that I really liked here is how the separate their different general layers of services. The key

This is the sort of article that I could have really used at about year 1.5 of my programming career. I’ve learned many of these lessons the hard way and resonate/agree with the examples here. It would have been really nice to have rea

Also amusing that they include Voyagers park in Minnesota in the "Tundra" category after saying these parks are all in remote parts of Alaska
