Thank you for this. I grew up outside the scene but it is so encouraging to see things like this celebrated.

I just looked up Cochrane ON because I hadn't heard of it before and yeah, it seems a bit of a mystery to me why it isn't more settled. I live around Edmonton where farming is a major industry, and just for comparison: Mean daily

My armchair assessment is that both will have their uses. 80/20 is 3-4x the price, but is lighter and more rigid than EMT conduit. EMT conduit is sold everywhere and will be more useful for quick and dirty setups. For a machine like

You can't use LFP batteries as a direct replacement in your UPS, no. The voltages and charge characteristics are different. What you can do is replace the UPS with a portable battery solution, like another poster suggested. I believ

I was recently surprised how bad Google results had gotten. Way back when I used Python heavily a google search would return results from python.org. When my kids were learning python for uni I told them the python online docs were great,

Yes, this is very true. In my case, I think my weight loss from mountain biking comes from riding hills I wouldn't normally (and often pushing up hills), eating better (I'm not sitting at my desk and therefore spend less time sna

Agreed, I just learned that the next formula for Formula E will eventually have charging stops. The spec will allow 5kwh of charge in 30 seconds, which is 10% SoC in their case. Pretty cool.

So production isn't really subsidized in the traditional sense. Producers actually pay quite a bit in royalties and taxes, and employ people, who also pay taxes. It's more about these externalities like pollution that aren'

For context, Alberta oil sands have an energy ratio of about 4 to 1, meaning it takes one barrel of oil to produce 4 barrels. The world average is about 17 to 1 with your typical Saudi oil about 40:1. It's difficult to describe wha

Not the person you're asking, but it might also be where it is installed. The connector I looked up online is rated to +40C, and being located in direct sunlight on a hot day could derate the connector compared to a temperature contro

It's an advantage because you as a botnet client have made the server side do extra work. You sent two packets, one to request a new connection, and a second to immediately cancel the request. The server on the other hand sees a conn

I think you misunderstand. I don't think the parent is saying fractional scaling is better than Windows, just that it sucks less than it used to and is almost usable now. X and Wayland has had fractional scaling for a long time, but g

Saint Helena has import tariffs like other colonies do. They used to have preferential rates for commonwealth countries but I'm not sure if that still exists. I guess my response would be they have import duties for the same reasons

In retrospect you could say yes, but it was hard to tell. It ended up being either okay or not okay depending on Intel vs AMD and clock speed.

It should be fine to try. Some devices dual purpose the 120 volt transformer to both charge the battery and provide 120 VAC, but those have internal switching so the 120 VAC will simply not work when charging. Given that your device charg

Similarly the authors talk about how the multiline brackets were hand-drawn, and how could they be that precise? They might now know how common engineering stencils were for such things. Just find the bracket of the right size, and trace
