  • It's the term we need to use until it's generally accepted. Thanks for fighting the good fight.

  • It's the new screen-mirrored laptop, taking the development of open-source software to the next level with real-time, in-room code transparency.

  • Yep. Only potatoes and salt, plus multivitamins to make up for the massive nutritional defecit, for 5 days. I was already experimenting with an elimination diet due to food allergies and a friend mentioned this week long potato diet to help reduce food cravings. Potatoes were a safe food so I thought I'd give it a try.

    It was awful. Day 4's dinner was an entire pizza.

  • I tried this with potatoes. It's miserable and I broke after four days.

  • I spent like twenty minutes looking. I'm stumped!

  • Unfortunately, even though it sounds adorable, that's a myth. There's nothing about bees or bumblebees that would make their flight theoretically problematic.

  • Failed electrical engineering major here - it turned out I was built to be a scientist, not an engineer, but it took a year of EE classes to figure that out.

    Regarding energy storage, capacitors aren't much different than batteries, but they can charge/discharge faster, have lower energy density (units of stored energy per units mass), and self-discharge faster, hence why they aren't used in place of batteries. For something where weight and volume aren't an issue and with no need for long-term storage, like a solar-equipped house, a huge cap would be a great option. I'm trying to figure out how to build one of what's described it the article now.

    The rate at which a capacitor discharges varies just like a battery, proportional to the resistance of the circuit. The reason most folks associate capacitors with "shorted terminals go boom" is the maximum rate of discharge on a capacitor is much higher than a battery, plus some capacitors operate at a much higher voltage than is practical for a battery, increasing the likelihood of generating a small arc. Shorting the terminals with a conductor makes a low resistance circuit so it just dumps its charge, whereas a battery would max out at a much lower rate, typically making a toasty wire versus a vaporized or melted wire.

  • Or accessible at all!

  • I'd punch the alleged deals into camelcamelcamel to find they'd been similar for years. I've even found prices that went up!

  • People are much nicer as a whole here. I was on Reddit for years and I started to dread seeing I had replies to my comments. I'm actually excited when I get responses here.

  • It helps a ton. Facial massage and neti pots help me survive the worst congestion.

  • Oh shit, I didn't know about ESPhome. There goes my free time!

  • You're not supposed to chew them?! I love oysters but I chew them up.

  • If only science could provide an answer. It must be a witch!

  • I'm a secret leftist amongst a bunch of low information MAGA voters (the ones that voted for Trump more because they're stupid and easily duped than being giant racists) in a few different circles. All they know is I own guns and answer "oh fuck no" when asked if I'm a liberal, so they assume I'm a non-MAGA conservative*. Hehehe.

    Without exception, they adore Elno. They don't realize it but they're prosperity gospel types (because stupid), so they assume he must be a good and intelligent guy, otherwise Jebus wouldn't have made him successful.

    *Side note: I have one all hot and bothered about seizing the means of production, just using different terms.

  • That was over a decade ago. She now receives 49% of merchandizing profit.

  • Habitual consumption of even small amounts of processed meat, sugary drinks, and trans fatty acids...

    The data showed that people who ate as little as one hot dog a day ...

    As little as one hot dog a day? I eat like one every few months. How many hot dogs is the average American eating daily?
