Hopefully this will really end commingling. I received a pair of bicycle tires as a gift (they bought on Amazon instead of locally) and even though everything looked identical, one tire was somewhat stiffer and weighed 100g more. I wouldn&#

I was diagnosing my washer (drum balance issue; many annoying minutes unlocking the lid multiple times) earlier today and had the same thought.

Noticed as a kid I could flip a quarter with a certain consistency, so I experimented a bit and quickly got to be >90% accurate with an ordinary (controlled) flip. Pretty simple. In fact I just picked up a quarter and practiced (20+ year

If a challenger doesn't appear soon, I may have to look into stitching together my Chromebook Plus display (12.3" 2400x1600, 3:2, with Touch Screen) to some new AMD laptop body.

As an example (the only case that I've identified personally), if your curious, I have a (windows; Intel q6600) box that I use for gaming occasionally. Single player game I like, Total War: Shogun 2, runs at about 55 fps (benchmark) p

It'd be nice to be able to easily boot into, or toggle into, a performance optimized, disabled mitigations environment to do something while offline.. many computer uses don't require being connected to other computers. I've

Yep, Stoli is definitely a bottom-tier vodka (not in price, though)

I've done double blind vodka tastings and some of the cheaper vodkas come out on top. e.g. Barton's is as good as top-shelf (that were in the tasting)

To be fair, I am mostly surprised there are not yet EV or hybrid vans, versus PVs on the roof. Seems like stop-and-go, or lots of idling, fleets would benefit signifigantly. I imagine vans use the battery for more than propulsion, so PVs on

3% rule -> $24k per year. Pretty reasonable, I'd say.

That might be interesting, actually. Has it been done? I've been an advocate for "coin flipping is not random" since I was young and could flip heads or tails on demand (about 80% accurate, but I didn't practice all that

I'm not sure about the metaphor. With a little practice, one can certainly flip one's desired result with high probability. It's a pretty simple physical system (which is why coin flips in more fair circumstances usually mean

"wynd halo" on kickstarter maybe? sub $100 + accurate seems a tall order, but maybe this latest one will be good.

"not supposed to" is pretty idealistic, the goal. Anyone working on firmware, drivers, or other low level SW will assure you that SW can fry, shorten the lifespan of, or otherwise brick HW.

Should I (or do I?) own the firmware, OS, applications, etc? Maybe, maybe not. Certainly if I own a device, I should have the capability to use the device to its fullest with my own owned software (i.e. no gimping of hardware/firmware
