The way I see it, common keyboards are underpriced due to extreme competition, and top-shelf keyboards are overpriced because they're a niche market. So common keyboards aren't that bad, even if they're very cheap, but…
Could it be called an ink coating? My understanding is that the distinction between ink and pigment is that ink is a solution while pigment is a suspension, can there be both kinds of coatings? or is it a meaningless…

As others have said, E=mv^2/2 only holds at very small fractions of the speed of light. I believe the equation you need is E=mc^2/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)-mv^2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy#Relativistic_ki...
2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control. I think that most rational people would agree the already-existing baskets should be distributed instead of being left to rot, so the…
Why is this articled titled this way? It seems very negative to me, and if I had just read the headline and moved on I would have assumed the diet was a silly, maybe even dangerous, fad. The article explains why the…
But text is already symmetrical along the z axis, so it works. Say your hands were 2d, so the backs looked the same as the palms. Now hold your hands so that you're looking at the palms and the fingers are pointing up.…
