The reflective coating seems to not be very durable in my experience.

Not to try to oversell you or anything, but I wouldn't write out ovens that have convection capability (often marketed these days as airfry). They cook faster, with more even temperature, and it's literally just a fan to blow air around. It shouldn't really have much effect on the price. I think it should theoretically make the temperature oscillation much lower, too. Personally, my dumb oven swings by like plus and minus 50 degrees F with a 25 degree offset. So if I want 350, it will bounce from 275 to 375. Newer, smarter ovens can have better control methods to maintain temp.

If your current oven heating element melted itself, I would suspect that there's something wrong with the thermostat, so there may be additional parts that need replacing.

Sounds like a nickel sulfide inclusion.

there's tons of mechanisms to stop that from happening

There are tons of such mechanisms in the United States as well. Unfortunately the mechanisms essentially boil down to laws, policies, and norms. Doing an illegal action does not pull a lever that deposits you in jail. The whole system relies on the people in power choosing to do the right thing. That's going to be a potential issue in any country with centralized power.

For fitness:

The absolute "best exercise" for someone to do is whatever they find enjoyable/fun, baring some sports, etc, that are harmful to your joints and/or brain (like American football). Fitness is about long term, sustainable effort. Some strict program that follows all the best science isn't going to help you in the long term if you don't stay consistent with it.

As long as you are either creating forceful muscle exertions or getting your heart rate up (preferably both), and it's an activity you can stick with, you are good to go.

It's similar with diet. Whatever you can consistently do to hit reasonable macros, with a nice bit of fiber and minimal junk, go for it. People might tell you that it's better to get 100% of your protein from meals rather than having protein shakes, but for a lot of people, going without that protein shake will just end up with them undershooting their protein needs.

It depends on what type of licensing. One way it could be beneficial to them (and this is me purely speculating with no checking) is that any work done from outside of their company on their code base is basically free labor. Yeah, they'll lose some potential revenue from people running their own instances of the code, but most people will use their app.

Let's hope it was a counting error, not a death flight.

I'm not clever enough to come up with a good example on the spot, but you could have something along the lines of a scheme where the word selection corresponds to a not-obvious code. For example, if you wanted to secretly send the word "hello", and you've previously given your receiver a code word "apple":

Hello > 7 4 11 11 14 Apple > 0 15 15 11 4

Adding the code word to the secret message, you'd get:

7 19 0 22 18 > H T A W S

Then your message could be something like:

How are you doing? Today, I went to the store. Avocados were on sale. When do you want to meet up? Saturday looks good for me.

There are definitely way better methods to do the encoding part, and probably also better ways of doing the concealment part.

There's a whole bunch of different steganographic methods. You wouldn't necessarily have to apply them to audio signals, you could apply them to the text itself. It's certainly trickier, so you would want to keep the plain text very short so your ciphertext doesn't get too long or weird

At the end of the day, most of what people care about isn't age, it's cognitive function (though age itself is important; why care about the America of 2040 if you won't live to see it).

Many of these people in power would fight age limits, but they are usually so sure of their abilities, that they may not fight cognitive tests with published results.

For example, if you give someone a Montreal cognitive assessment, and their reaction to it is:

Yes, the first few questions are easy, but I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. I'll bet you couldn't, they get very hard, the last five questions

And those last 5 questions are:

What month are we in? What year are we in? What day of the week is it? Where are you right now? What city are you in?

You might think that person shouldn't be in charge of the country.

Oops.

Feeder can do keyword filtering on titles, but not on a per feed basis, and only with simple wildcards. I've been able to filter out a bit with it, though.

Oh wow, they really did a good job of explaining it. It's not too complex. I think it probably would be able to filter out some of the fluff.

If it's open source, you could perhaps tinker with the algorithm. My main desires for rss feeds are:

• a way to filter out fluff affiliate link articles (e.g., 8 best gadgets on sale for prime day)
• a way to cluster articles on the same topic (i don't really need to read 5 articles about the same news item)

Any clue if nunti could do that?

The most crucial part of the process is that you and i will be the ones paying for the energy used for carbon capture, but the fossil fuel companies will be the ones profiting from selling the energy.

I'm in the midst of planning out some built-ins. When looking for inspiration, it is so annoying how many videos/blog posts, etc, on creating built-ins start with "buy IKEA cabinetry".

If you are buying cabinets, you aren't building cabinets. Yeah, there's assembly involved, but watching someone buy a cabinet, and then just paint it and put different hardware on it doesn't help me at all.

For example, I'm trying to figure out the right way to have the cabinet doors interface with adjacent window trim. I.e, do I cut the trim to fit the cabinet doors, or do I alter the cabinet doors to fit the windows trim.

The "ikea cabinet" people can't have these choices cause it's not possible to alter them since they are built of chipboard.

As someone with only a casual interest in 3d printing, are the open source 3d printers worth the effort it takes to make them vs buying one?

If I recall correctly (i.e., I'm talking out my ass), when people have late fees that continue to stack up, some percentage of people will decide to just stop using the library. This results in them keeping the books, and also removes them as customers. This ultimately costs the library more than they gain by having fees.

Also, there's the saying "a fine is a price". The idea is that by having a late fee, people are okay paying the late fee. Shame is often stronger than modest fees.

You just have to slowly start printing all the pieces for your own Von Neumann probe printer

Oftentimes, yes. Mine has a series of little rooms. They are often used by teens working on homework together.

If you want to try a cool experiment, do a pourover into multiple mugs, where the 1st quarter of water goes into one mug, next into the next mug, and so on. If you normally make a 300 ml cup, do 100 ml into 5 mugs. You can then taste each to see what flavor you are getting for each part of the pourover. The first cup will be intense, second good, third might be weaker, fourth bad, and fifth weird and bad.

Then you can just pour the first 3 into one mug to enjoy normally.

If you want to be a big nerd about your coffee, you could do this for different types of coffee to determine the right dose ratio for each. We all tend to use mass for coffee, but since darker roasted coffee weighs less per bean, you might find that you can dose lighter on those coffees.
