Or slinky catsuits. I bet they’re comfy, if perhaps stinky with the polyester/elastane combo. I remember reading that the TNG outfits were not at all comfortable, but that was 1980s tech. We have lululemon now.
This is something I’ve looked into in the past as well and with about 35 circuits to monitor, the Vue seems like a good one and done solution except it’s way too small, AND there’s mucking about with firmware which I’m none too excited about. I’m waiting for something better.
People who work in research often have their whole life built around their specific field of research, to the point where their transferable skills and knowledge are minimized or excluded. Financially, they’re usually dependent on the institution they work for to a far greater degree than most professions are, which is part of why tenure exists. They also—but certainly not always—are neurodivergent. Their area of research is necessarily something they’re passionate about.
I can totally see this happening. There’s a lot going on in the world right now. Many people are experiencing extreme anxiety about world events they don’t have power over.
Being personally bullied by the government specifically about the work that is tremendously personally important would be devastating.
I think a moderately competent lawyer would be able to build a case. Of course, it would get tied up in court for a while, but protecting IP is a big part of IP law (more on trademark I think, but IANAL). The C&D should have been sent a long time ago. It’s possible that this is a department that’s “moving fast and breaking things” and higher-ups said no to the license. In no way should that be considered to excuse the behaviour.
Yep the real challenge is understanding when it’s fucked vs when it’s slightly off kilter and a professional can give it a stern look and fix it, but with most things these days it’s always a “well, we can get you a new module, but it’s on back order; it’ll take 6 weeks to come in, maybe buy a new widget”.
In lieu of nothing, there’s UV lights for drinking water that might fit the need that are reasonably reliable… or maybe just a binge of bigclive opening things up might give the key for cracking that UV light. good luck!
This depends entirely on what you want to run. A pihole needs vastly different resources than for example offering jellyfin to 20 simultaneous users. Both can be hosted at home.
March 2025, Ben & Jerry’s filed a complaint in federal court against parent company Unilever, accusing them of firing C.E.O. David Stever because he had allowed Ben & Jerry's to express their sociopolitical beliefs publicly.
I forgot that part. He did a graph. After about 3 min the OG is colder than the new one. Not a major difference at start, 3°C but doesn’t seem to make enough difference in the brew.
I recently set up some solar panels. Turned them on very close to noon. Well, look at that! So much power! Four hours later, i was getting 10 percent of that number.
I know that solar power levels change throughout the day. But when it’s put into concrete terms like “I can run my refrigerator on this … oh, only for 2 hours a day” it helped me really understand.
So to answer your question - we use fossil fuels in the grid to as a disposable battery to handle changes in demand and times when renewables aren’t available.
As for EVs - many train routes aren’t electrified. EV trucks are impractical for long-haul, and the infrastructure is nowhere to be seen. Even in EV friendly areas, it’s hard to find a charger that is easy to reach with a heavy-haul truck. That’s before we talk about whether there’s trucks to drive, and the cost of the truck. For individuals, an EV is simply beyond the finances of many people. Road trips are an edge case, but some people travel a lot for work and can’t afford to stop every 3 hrs for 30-60 min, if the charger is available, and twice as often in winter.
The metal base (quite heavy) makes a squealing sound against the glass portion when installing it. Some (like Hoffman) find it unpleasant; others find that the tactile experience outweighs the auditory experience, as it is very solid
it has slightly different dimensions, which make the puck deeper
slightly higher extraction
in a 3 way test against XL and OG, he was able to identify the three brewers correctly and overall preferred the Premium, though that may just be a result of a careless brew
the amount of microplastics one will ingest from an Aeropress is probably not significant compared to other sources, and the Aeropress microplastics aren’t identified as immediately harmful (i.e. BPA free)
it’s kinda an expensive way to make the same coffee and trades a lot of the original Aeropress benefits (price, portability, durability) for a luxury feel. It’s glass; you won’t want to toss it in your bag like the OG.
The emissions from the act of cooking itself are not negligible and are never considered in these studies. Or perhaps I haven’t seen one that does; I don’t keep that close an eye on it.
This article reports on a study that measured benzene emissions in some scenarios and then leaps to conclusions based on those measurements. There’s no control.
So many studies about gas stoves, ignoring the possibility that there’s adequate ventilation (tbf there usually isn’t) or the possibility that a lot of emissions are still there when cooking with electricity.
Biggest problem overall is the shitty standard that is accepted for range hoods.
Not to detract from the possibility that gas stoves are an unreasonable risk, but let’s collect all the data.
Port and starboard are easy enough in a powerboat (of the type I am familiar with). Tie up port side, sit on starboard (steer board) side to steer.
But what is most fun is remembering what direction in a channel one is travelling in an area where the channels merge.
