Timbor is one used for insect repellant. Boralife sells pre-treated lumber and your local lumber yard can probably supply you with other brands. IIRC for fire retardant a 7:3 mix of boric acid and borax dissolved in distilled water (at 80C

Not sure why but most people don't seem to have noticed that people outside Apple will now be able to contribute to Foundation and these contributions will ship across all platforms.

In written US English (especially online) the double quotes around "pro" imply sarcasm or that the word is not meant to be taken literally. In context it means the author knows it isn't actually a professional machine despite

Drowning doesn't look like drowning. The thing they show in movies or on TV is not what happens so most people have no clue when someone is in trouble. In some cases kids drown in pools while parents are not only present but looking ri

Any amount of water you can get onto a fire increases survivability (both in time and number of locations). NFPA 13R is a relatively recent addition to fire code that focuses on making low-rise residential fire sprinklers much cheaper to in

You must have selective pressure on genome size for organisms to evolve mechanisms to reduce the "junk". The metabolic cost of carrying around the junk is small. The cost of cleaning up the junk comes from much more frequent accid

You're correct but that is still a niche segment because markets that need 128MB of super-fast memory are almost always happy to pay a little bit more to get 4GB+ of "L4" (aka DRAM).

The situation was slightly more complicated. Half of the original launch apps on the phone were first built as JS web apps. Most were completely rewritten to be native apps before launch (and the rest after launch) because it was clear that

This more than doubles the complexity, increases weight, has much lower battery capacity, and still sticks you with the maintenance work required for the ICE. Plus gas is a very volatile mix that degrades; you must run the ICE regularly to

I've never seen the market react negatively to layoffs themselves. As far as I can tell most traders and fund managers believe all employees are interchangeable widgets.

You're not the main character. You're not entitled to have the world accept your opinions gracefully. You're not even entitled to a "fair hearing out" of your views. Unless you deliberately want to engage in advocac

Before we bought a house (in SF) we rented. My landlord was born in SF and owned his own home in Daly City. He inherited the house from his mom for free with a 200k tax base on a 1.1m home. He owned a food truck that was grandfathered by SF

The funny part is all modern CPUs use register renaming (with a 100s deep register file) so they're effectively SSA machines if you squint.

There are easy solutions available right now but they cost money. I don't want to assume you are the same but often people that use key phrases like "myth of global overpopulation" and "abortion on demand" are STRON

Take most of the sibling replies here with a grain of salt. In areas where there are large snowfall events (eg Tahoe) the story is very different; panels can and do cause ice dams, dangerous snow slides, and even the panels can get ripped r

This is standard now. My REC Alpha Pure Black 400 panels are warrantied for 92% at 25 years. The degradation is about 0.25%/yr. Assuming no exponential drop-off it would take >50 years to hit 80%. Essentially no one has had to repla

The "hub" model is disappearing; customers travel to the supposed hub via other methods (car, train) or they take direct flights. The super jumbo planes like the 747 rely on hubs for passenger density so it shouldn't be any s

Most industrial facilities already have 3-phase 240 or 480 power and tend to be fed by higher capacity feeders than you see in residential areas. They also tend to be closer to high voltage feeders because everyone hates HV lines running th

The best way to get rich people to donate and campaign against something is to exclude them from it. A $1500 tax credit for someone making $1m doesn't amount to much but psychologically they'll still fight to preserve it because t
