I dunno, I think all manufacturers are at fault. Even the ones that are properly aligned are ridiculously bright, but aimed down. Which is fine if two vehicles approach each other on flat ground. But if two vehicles approach the crest of a

A CNC mill that's worth the cast iron it's made from weighs at least 2000 lbs, not to mention it takes a lot of skill to use (workholding, toolholding, setting up feeds and speeds, coolant, etc). It's very easy and very expen

Makes sense, I take for granted how great modern electrolytic caps are compared to 50 years ago.

WTF is a "computer-rated" capacitor?

Forgot about that. So about a 100% chance my dad got it from that.

I remember my dad saying "yello" in the 90's, here in Northern California. Pretty sure he just said it because he found it amusing.

Counteroffer: the App Store and the Play Store will be used for the precise reason they were built, making their owners a shit-ton of money.

I'm sure they mess around with it, they'll just never announce it.

You don't need an account to lurk.

Yeah, it's not as if Mercedes (who made the vehicle he's talking about) or BMW are German.

The screen doesn't have to be obnoxious like this, though. A Chevy van has a small screen embedded in the rear view mirror, which is impossible to see when not in reverse.

But it's important to "punish" (via punitive fines) the right people, so that they will put some effort into not making that mistake again.

I'm not opposed to activism, I'm just opposed to their activism which goes against what the Mozilla Foundation stands for. Obviously what I think the foundation stands for (a freely accessible web) and what it actually stands for

Windshields themselves are glued into the frame, and have been for years. They are a major part of the structure of the vehicle, as well as an important safety device, and there isn't a problem with them comining loose. Badges are atta

I realize that this is being translated from technical speak to layperson by someone that doesn't know anything, but sounds like a multimeter would've been useful. I wonder if they got their phases swapped, so when they turned on

For water heaters and wall furnaces with a gas control valve, yes. For old stoves, they don't.

I was told that you want lights on all 3 phases so that you can see spinning things spin. If the lights are on single phase, they will dim 120 times a second, and the strobe effect can cause spinning things to appear stationary. With 3 phas

Because all of the IC's that are attached to the battery are designed for 12V. Things like solid state relays (BTS7008 for exammple) and the 5/3.3 volt regulators.
