- As someone with a self proclaimed fetish I have to ask if you have ever tried working with the material? I find even the most basic manipulation to be wild compared to other common metals.
I was sanding and polishing a long handled titanium spoon to make it more smooth (slowly) by hand and the friction from that quickly made it too hot to hold. It's thermal conductivity is 1/10th of aluminum and roughly 1/2 of stainless steel.
Another fun thing is to anodize it to different colors. Compared to aluminum it can be achieved without the use of caustic chemicals.
- One downside is it would motivate companies to get intellectual property registered under a trademark with indefinite protection rather than copyright. Even with our current lifetime + 70 year protection we have companies like Disney getting characters registered as a trademark.

wtf.
- Calculators are large enough that it should be possible to fit AAA or AA sized batteries, even possibly a 18650. They're lower power enough that a CR3202 lasts a long enough time but it always ends up dying at the most inconvenient time and they're really the only device I have that needs CR3202.
- Am I the only one who dislikes the CR2032 that all the RPN calculators need?
- Places in California has this problem too. Installing solar panels today could result in a larger electricity bill than not having them.
Getting solar panels forces you onto a plan in which they charge more per kwh pulled from the grid. The surplus electricity is only credited at the generation cost which is only 1/4 the total cost per kwh. (Delivery costs is 3x the price of electricity).
So if you want to go solar to save money you need both batteries and solar panels which is not an insignificant amount of money.
- Not to be confused with Apple HomePod.
- I prefer to cook pasta like rice and starting it in cold water brought to a boil and then a simmer: https://altonbrown.com/recipes/cold-water-pasta-method/
- As someone also served by PG&E I don't think cheaper electricity will help. At peak hours electricity is $0.13/kwh but the delivery charge is $0.50/kwh.
- Depending where you are in the world some banking apps only work with phones that have physical sim cards.
- 16GB has been the new minimum for under a year. Give it some more time /s
- I live in the 3rd "wealthiest" county in the United States. The combined market cap of headquartered companies here total over 10 trillion dollars. I can't install solar panels and I can't be bothered to buy house batteries so I've only had power 98.6% of the time last year.
I've lost hope. In theory it can be done but it feels something on the same order as setting foot on the moon again. We have the technology and capability to do so but somehow our population collective decision results in keep things garabge.
- I've said this before but the trackpad is too big and they could have fit both function keys and touch bar and everyone would have been happy.
- I had foolishly given them the benefit of the doubt and after poking around their entire damn website site and I now hate them. I couldn't find a nutrition label but buried in text was information I need.
"4-5 grams of protein per 100 gram serving" "fats derived from canola, sunflower seeds, and algae"
Real Coho Salmon is about 20% protein and 7% fat so we're looking at less than 20% of the important parts being salmon. I retract my previous comment. It's not Salmon.
I believe the FDA defines a minimum of 40% of a meat product to be made of that meat to be labeled as that meat (eg. beef hotdogs needs to be made of 40% beef) and I'm not sure if this qualifies as that.
As a benchmark, the tuna used in a Subway tuna sandwich is 100% tuna, the beef in Taco Bell beef tacos is 88% beef, and the chicken in McDonald's Chicken McNuggets is 100% chicken but make up 45% of the nugget.
- The large majority of the final product is salmon cells so I think it counts. I don't see how this is too different from fish paste products like imitation crab or chikuwa.
- What baffles me is that Discord is basically mIRC with some extra features but the culture just isn't the same.
- Probably because the Apple Watch is effectively a modern 10 year old smart phone made tiny with an ARM Cortex A series CPU running at nearly 2GHz while the Garmin is a ARM Cortex M series microcontroller doing ~200MHz.
- Something I miss with modern UI design is the location persistence of items. Like the old windows desktop widgets or the OSX dashboard. You should show the desktop or bring up the dashboard and the todo list would always be in the same location and show up or hide with a quick key strokes.
- I don't follow youtube links during work hours as a personal policy but an India government webpage outlines the water test for whole tumeric: https://eatrightindia.gov.in/dart/
> Test 14 : Detection of lead chromate in turmeric whole > Testing Method: > * Add small quantity of turmeric whole in a transparent glass of water. > * Pure turmeric will not leave any colour. > * Adulterated turmeric appears to be bright in colour and leaves colour immediately in water.
- I'll bite. In the limitations of my mortal life with it's predestined total allocated time for recorded media there's an infinite amount of high quality content. Savoring an expensive meal is just a way to get maximum value out of it but with endless cheap amounts why not devour it to my hearts content? Quality over quantity but what choice does one make when it's both?
Many of these stories have a small narrative arc with very direct emotions it means to invoke. A feeling of nostalgia, of happiness, of sadness, or of anxiety to name a few. Even at a faster speed it will make me think and make me laugh. It's not a work of profound art that I need to stop and contemplate. It's not a comedian's joke with precise timing.
In the end it is just audio entertainment. Episodic entertainment not freed from the shackles of churn, or the temptation to fabricate results for a good story. There's not much grand detail for my ears to wander and focus on the way my eyes would wander over paint on a canvas or a room filed with light and sound.
- I've seen too many variants of icons for "general" menu. Three bars, three dots, square, square in square, tall rectangle, gear, company logo and probably a few more.
And if we want to focus on just three bars let's not leave out the skeuomorphism trend where three bars meant the "grip" area, something to use to rearrange items or windows.
- I want a better list than the IARC because their Group 1 has substances like benzine and asbestos along side things like Alcoholic beverages, Chinese-style Salted fish and processed meat.
- Ever since the death of WinForms and Cocoa we've moved away from apps having a unified visual experience on an OS to apps pushing their own consistent theme across platforms. A big contrast between app and OS theme in recent times was when apps offered Dark Mode before it became an OS wide setting.
- If it was modernized a little, I think I would enjoy needing to tap a RFID hanko to my phone to sign for digital delivery.
- I grew up on kikkoman, view it as the soy sauce equivalent of Heinz ketchup or Best Foods/Hellmans mayonnaise and still cook with it all the time. But after tasting a wide variety of soy sauce I would describe kikkoman's profile as salty, metallic and stout-beer like. The fancier soy sauces seem less salty (despite similar amounts of sodium) and can have varying notes of oyster sauce, seafood, sweetness, coffee, molasses and MSG.
- I recommend against the Pi Zero. Once you add in the cost of the microUSB to USB-OTG adapter and the ethernet USB adapter you might as well buy a 3B or 4. Price aside it adds an extra mechanical point of failure as microUSB is not very robust.
- > What happens when 4,500 people ask for the same feature? At Firefox, we build it.
That's allegedly less people asking for the feature than the tabs I have open or 0.0028% of the user base. I don't believe it.
- If it's been compromised then the whole thing just melts away.
- > when lead belaying, you need to pay out rope, which means disengaging the auto brake. If you do this buy holding the handle
What the hell are they teaching kids these days. I've NEVER needed to hold the handle on a grigri unless I'm trying to lower something. The correct technique is hold the cam down with your thumb leaving three to four fingers in contact with the rope at all time. The left hand is used to pull rope through the girgri to give rope to the climber, the climber already has to pull up a bunch of rope through a maze of carabiners and don't need the extra work of trying to pull it through a grigri.
