Whole Foods carries a store brand short grain brown rice at a reasonable price that I really like. It’s one of my go-to rices and essentially the only thing I go to Whole Foods for, as I haven’t found a comparable…
Keep seeing this take (just an installation issue), over and over and over again. I think it's much worse than a design flaw. Even very carefully-engineered systems can have flaws. Engineering flaws, once identified,…
I'm not sure what your point was, but just to be clear the discussion of black body radiation has nothing to do with the switching frequency discussed in the article.
> As it turns out, doing that takes a lot of energy, so we use reverse osmosis as a cheaper alternative: we exploit the hydration shell of the ions by putting them behind a semi-permeable membrane with very small pores,…
The first thing that came to mind when I saw the abstract was that existing bipolar membrane electrodialysis processes already provide a convenient way of performing the pH swing process they are developing, but with…
> Sounds like a promising area to explore. Indeed, and it has been. Google's Project Foghorn's process was (2014) was based on the same concept.
This answer is, unfortunately, wrong. Or at best, incomplete. And they say the best way to get the correct answer on the internet is to post an incorrect one. In fact, the fact that this (11-year-old) paper was…
What you’re suggesting is any crash can be attributed to the US method of scheduling takeoff and landing (since that’s the risk issue you’re responding to). That’s not true. If a plane’s engine explodes in midair, it…
Thinking about it for a minute, I’m not sure why we need fluoropolymers for waterproof technical fabrics. Unless I’m very much mistaken, PDMS rubber, polypropylene, polyethylene, and other materials provide similar…
What a coincidence, I just watched SANS ICS’s promo for their new HyperEncabulator last night. Finally, an Encabulator for the modern cybersecurity environment. https://youtu.be/5nKk_-Lvhzo
You can definitely break a plastic fitting with too much tape. The tape and the plastic are deformable, and I’ve had taped PVC fittings effectively extruded by repeated installation with fresh tape (every time you…
The color isn’t necessarily related to the tape density. I always use Merco Threadmaster M66 (I think this, or the M77, is the McMaster default for high-density tape), which comes in all colors. I’ve had cheap tape come…
In case anyone from the US reads this, BSPP and BSPT fittings are rare and incredibly frustrating here, as our NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads are different and the selection of BSP(P/T) fittings is extremely poor in…
You're totally missing the joke. Read the article and check back.
I used this tactic to break up with WSJ. However, I think they technically reserve the right to try to collect fees if you don't cancel through their system. Another time, I had a service continue to try to bill me…
As discussed in the video, the SpinLaunch has the advantage that the acceleration to launch velocity is done in vacuum without reaction mass, so they can use a relatively heavy vehicle. The heavy vehicle obviates the…
The “article” is a transcript of sections of the video. Removing the culture war bit about Galileo being cancelled, we have: “It’s not a philosophical question whether we live in an environment where objects are…
Prediction markets (i.e., cash-settled futures) for interest rates, FX rates, volatility, financial index values, etc., on the other hand, don’t require W2-Gs and are even tax advantaged.
The caption for the image in the article expands on the theory a bit. The idea is that as the ice melts, less weight is on the poles, which causes them to rise up. It’s proposed that the overall effect is to make the…
I remember reading a feature/native advertisement about Lenovo's ThinkPad focus groups a while back (I think on Ars or The Verge) that had a similar conclusion. People would go crazy over a red or white ThinkPad in…
I imagine they take a round trip, there and back, once a day.
The ethics of sleeping with your employees aside (which reflects poorly on both parties), Zilis has also been a public-facing Musk supporter. She defends Musk on Twitter and sure, fine, that’s a reasonable thing for you…
Incorrect. It's chickling peas, not chickpeas, that cause illness. Chickpeas are fine to eat, as evidenced by the billion+ people who are eating them every day, particularly in the subcontinent.
This is "saying the quiet part out loud" in academia. For engineering undergrad, your in-state university (ABET accredited) will usually be your best cost/benefit option (unless you're going to MIT, Stanford, or, for CS…
Or even "trace platinum dissolved in liquid gallium". The solubility at "room temp" (40 ˚C is quite hot for a room) is only about ~50 ppm. It's kind of like calling sea water "room-temperature liquid sodium chloride".
