Isn't Linus Tech Tips an ad, though? The only times I've looked at it all I've seen is sponsored content with breaks to talk about sponsors and maybe buy some merch. Oh, and exhortations to use their affiliate links.…
>the "real" perfect pitch people are always anchored, no matter how much noise anyone throws at them. Which is also a source of discomfort and difficulty Not least because the argument about "what note is this" and…
If you have a fast design/architecture, you may never need to optimise the code at all. But the flip side is that with a bad design or bad architecture optimising the implementation won't save you. With a sufficiently…
My expectation is that one combustion car owners have to pay more of the cost of that fuel choice they'll change over. Lots of people already drive 20 minutes to save $10 on a tank full, or queue at the gas station…
https://www.vehiclesuggest.com/what-happened-tesla-battery-s... Tesla tried it. There was no point Tesla building more swap stations because so few people paid the premium to get a swappable battery. It turns out that…
nothing interesting, just repairs and tweaks. I'm building a granny flat instead :)
https://ibb.co/0sJx4SN (new cog on the left, old on the right) I'm not saying you should do this. And Rohloff strongly suggest you don't do this I'm just saying that you can do this.
My limited experience is that it's easier to recruit more muscles on an upright, so your peak power can be higher. In my 30's I would hit double for a 30s trial on an upright vs a recumbent (last time I had a decent…
A missing top tube is much easier to deal with than a missing down tube. Lots of bikes have pushed that a very long way. But the main forces there are twisting the pedals against the handlebars and using the front…
https://moz.geek.nz/mozbike/ride/carry/index.html I didn't collect photos of the real experiments, those were mostly "grab a scrap bike, hack it about, (try to) ride it, bin it and try again. But if you wander the…
There's a reason that horses were the fancy sports car/military tool of the animal transport world. They eat a lot, break easily, and don't last long. People used oxen, donkeys, llama etc way more than horses. And the…
Nope, with single speed/hub gears chain wear is still a problem, it's just that they're less sensitive to it and there's fewer parts to replace. When the chain gets longer it gets loose, but it has to be very loose…
The trouble with the very first render is that the author is wrong about why the bike wouldn't work. The head tube isn't braced well enough to allow the front brake to be used, and would twist when cornering to a degree…
Two things: college is supposed to be an opportunity to learn from mistakes so making the normal consequence of any mistake the end of your career goes against that. Historically the decent young men of Stanford were…
Having a white tile and a blue tile would be fine, though. I'm really tempted by this, but I think I should start by tiling the garage floor or something rather than my whole living area.
I think the core bit you've missed is: Stanford explicitly selects for perfectionists by requiring extremely high standards of (most) students. Those students have spend several years working very hard to get in, aware…
There's a lot that can be done by disintegrated systems, too. I put cameras onto a box truck so I had reversing etc, but I used an 8-camera wired security system with video recorder and eSIM for that. The screen was…
> skip owning an actual thermometer Doesn't that rely on you living next to someone else's thermometer that's published? My not very accurate setup gives me more than a degree just down my property line (~30m) largely…
I have an old-ish paypal account with no phone number attached and while they prompt me every time I have not supplied one. There was a period of a month or two a couple of years ago when I couldn't use paypal at all…
The key thing IMO is that the paper book was 0.9 lux but they cranked the ebook up to 30 lux. I missed that the first time. They also had the ebook set to "harsh blue", which my ebook reader can do but it also has a…
The cost of diverting plastic from the waste stream is high, the cost of recovering it once it becomes litter is higher, and the cost of getting it out of the ocean is dollars per kilogramme. And once we have it the…
I buy rice in 25kg sacks just like the bulk buy places do. And a bunch of other stuff from a wholesale outlet that sells larger containers. Our local food co-ops buy most of their stuff in 20kg or bigger containers. One…

As a tourist it sucks though. You have to buy something to see the various taxes, then hope that they're the same for everything. Then you move on in your trip and have to repeat the process. Just advertise the actual…
