AFFF is used in far more than just military bases. Outside of the USA, AFFF extinguishers, small vehicle/building hazard suppression systems, etc. are much more common. But yes Phos-check isn’t that
AFFF is being/has been phased out pretty much everywhere in the first world. There is still plenty of it around though - disposing of, and then filling with fluorine free foam can be an expensive process. Personally,…
Many oil filters these days are accessible from the top of the engine, and IME it’s possible to get under many SUVs/CUVs/trucks far enough to remove the filter/bung without lifting anyway. A set of drive-on ramps makes…
If I had to guess, Alpine is a very popular choice for building container images in Docker/Kubernetes/whatever the new hotness is since I last worked with containers. Mostly because the aforementioned small size and low…
google’s new service: gResume, designed to solve the tech industry’s problems around recruitment
Espressif has also capitalised on this trend with the ESP32, having cheap (~$10) official dev boards available at or before the launch of a new Esp32 model
I found it’s a form of jargon, and once you know more about the field, it becomes much clearer. Before I started working out at all, I found it really hard to follow any workout instructions (even videos). I couldn’t…
A personal trainer is the service you’re looking for. Or a gym friend group
Just to add, in the Find My app, you can whitelist (or blacklist depending on how you look at it I suppose) addresses that it won’t notify you about. So I don’t get a notification when I leave my iPad at home, but I do…
You’ll be missing out on some experiences for sure. Would it be a net positive? Probably not. But you really can’t quite comprehend the feelings you’re missing out on. There might be tangential things you don’t…
This infuriates me. I know the video exists, that’s why it’s on my watch later. It’s like adding an item to your cart, and then having an ad for it at the top of every search result. Another thing I hate is if you watch…
This is why I only name users, groups, directories, etc, with UUIDs
I’m curious if the chi-fi market will take over headphones in the coming years. IEMs are a bit easier to be competitive at, not having to worry about acoustic effects of ear/head shape, ergonomics/comfort is much…
I’m far more addicted to scrolling on reddit than instagram. As good as modern social media algorithms are, my curated feed of niche interests and communities I’m a part of, is just a lot more addictive to me. The…
Is this not a thing in the USA/world? Here there is a government/school system website for careers. Listing educational requirements, average salaries and high/low end ranges, how much demand there is for the career,…

From browsing various subreddits occasionally, robocough seems to be the go-to manufacturer for DXM-only products. I think they mostly sell online. They definitely know that the people buying their products are using…
FWIW, I'm sick and am currently looking at a bottle of Robitussin Dry Cough Forte, and the only active ingredients are DXM. But yes, if you're wanting to do high doses, tablets are gonna be the least unpleasant option
The ability some people have to make everything political never ceases to amaze me. It's a conservative car because you can checks notes fit a wheelchair in the back? It's simply an appliance. It's no more political…
More recent iPhones can do OCR into (any?) text fields - hold on the text field and select "scan text" or the little box with some horizontal lines in it. It's not perfect for some things (underscores and more unusual…
I was waiting for the part where it indicates that it’s satire, but it never came
Bold of you to assume they will still have the working cloud infrastructure for you to enable that in 20 years
