LTT has a video where they tried to see how many PCIe riser cables they could string together before it stopped working.[1] They got to several meters. Maybe you could argue that it's worse inside a PC case since there's more EMI,

It might have to do with the USB buffer on the Ender. If the buffer is too small (e.g. 4 gcode commands or so) then when the buffer is filled with commands that execute very quickly, its possible for the printer to empty the buffer before n

Just to clarify, that means that I would need to 1.) purchase some packs of Kong, which are unloaded, and then 2.) participate in a lockdrop to gain the tokens with which to load the Kong? Seems fine and dandy wrt the acquisition of bills,

Question: since bills can be either loaded or unloaded (either because they haven't been put in circulation yet, or because they're counterfeit), doesn't that mean that e.g. a vendor taking my Kong who has no trust in me woul

Is it riffing off ranch dressing? I've heard that ranch is associated with the US, outside of the US. Edit: looks like "american sauce" can refer to a multitude of things. Typically it seems to either be some kind of ranch or

It's probably the fiber content, if I had to guess. Fiber is really good at making you feel full, which is why psyllium husk is sold as a dietary supplement.

When I first read your comment, I thought that there was no way that solar panels could be heavy enough to affect your mileage. So I did some quick calculations. Estimates of solar panel weight I found say that solar panels tend to weigh 2-

That's fine, because when something breaks the day after you've pushed, it's Friday and everyone's in the office. People are still going to rush the deadline, but putting the deadline earlier means you have time to deal

The lacing isn't plastic, it's (as the article mentions) typically waxed linen or some other type of fiber/rope. Zip ties have to be made of a more solid material like plastic, since you need to mold in all those tiny teeth t

Personally, I just remapped capslock to esc, since I never use capslock. The touchbar does seem to hang more often nowadays, though. Especially when I'm trying to adjust the volume.

It can at least bias your priors ahead of time. When you (as a human) are using Waze or Google maps and you see a speed trap ahead of you, or a traffic jam, or construction or whatever, obviously you can't blindly trust that. But you c

Gravity is not uniform everywhere on earth, because the Earth's density is not uniform. (This is ignoring the other consideration that the earth is not spherical. Because the Earth bulges at the equator, gravity is also weaker towards

Some of the post's salad examples (spaghetti, poutine) could be interpreted as starch surrounded by non-starch. Thus I believe the rule would still consider turkey with stuffing to be a salad.
