It's not so much the microprocessor, it's all the trappings of the Arduino, and not using sleep mode. If your project is large and runs on limited battery power, you might want to choose another solution and work on power manageme

I believe your observation is correct. I'll also throw out a possible reason for women being less okay with sexualisation in conversation: We're the target or object of sexualisation far more often than men are, and sometimes in quite threa

There is absolutely no such thing as "chemical free". Water, lactic acid, casein, and so on, they're all chemicals, even if you have glorified them with a stamp that says "natural".

Oh, a "normal" diet varies a lot depending where you are. Myself, I'm in Norway, and the diet here is fairly healthy if somewhat short on vegetables (especially during the winter). I'm sure most other "normal" diets in the world are quite o

The sleep bits are (probably - don't know very much about the topic) ok, but once it gets to diet, it goes right into la-la-land. It is riddled with misinformation and the belief that a "raw food diet" fixes all. A raw food diet might make

I was just about to say this, too. I've ended up just splitting up the letter æ in my last name into a and e. Even some Norwegian businesses end up mangling my name, which is really very embarrassing. For them, that is. Æ, Ø, and Å aren't c

And I just can't help but thinking... "Aha. So that's where the Bananaphone song got its superpowers from!" >< On a more serious note, I do love everyday comparisons that everyone can understand. For example, science books for kids

Like MichaelSalib says, they're definitely out there, and sometimes they're our teachers. I've got female classmates who have routinely been graded one grade lower in than their male classmates IT class in high school - despite being as goo

Male nurses is probably the most glaring example of that.

Bingo. I'm female, and a comp eng student. The problem might not be the gender bias among researchers so much, but the attitudes little girls face when learning. If you grow up hearing that girls can't do computers, can't do math, can't do

Actually, I'd skip the super-loose socks and go for a pair of compression stockings instead (and some aspirin before I go), with slightly loose, thick woollen socks on the outside for warmth and comfort. Feet get cold, and deep vein thrombo

It depends a little bit on what specifically you fear when flying. If it's the safety of the plane, I'd get really familiar with how planes work. Having flown a lot since I was a child I can "feel" the plane and know that things are all rig

Yeah. That probably works if you live in a place that has more than two hours of "darkness" (it's 1:41, and it's twilight) during the summer, and that has decent quantities of daylight during the winter. The light adjustment thing works, th

I don't think you can do away with five hundred or so years of typographic history that easily. The use of Lorem Ipsum and the first Oration against Catiline came through need, not through a desire to flaunt random Latin texts. There is a d

Why, yes! I've grown up with hard rock/heavy metal, opera, and good food. Food usually gets good when mum's rocking out in the kitchen :P

Oh, the iPad might be all fancy-glitzy-waste-of-money-blah-blah, but as a product, it's good at it. It provides an experience , as well as providing usefulness. I have used a laptop for recipe purposes in a kitchen, too, but using an iPad

Not sure if it is a contributing factor, but it was also posted on Reddit a day ago. But title probably helps if you want to catch eyes :)

Vitamin C, you need it in sufficient quantities as not to get deficient and interfere with collagen synthesis. Moderate amounts of fresh fruit and vegetables will see you well covered. Extra supplementation is not helpful, no matter the bel

As a picky eater myself, that's absolute torture to go through. My father tried it on me. After a few times of retching at the table, and running to go vomit because I found various tastes so bad, he kind of gave up. No more chicken livers

Nope. It's just that Big Supplement wants a way to make more money off the gullible :P We really don't need that many supplements. Decent food and no absorption issues is all it takes.

Hey, I can understand that. Been a picky eater all my life, though I've gotten a little "better" over the years. My parents were the same and they're doing just fine, so I don't think there's that much to worry about as long as you don't ge

Vitamin B12 and folic acid, relatively large doses to prevent recurrence of deficiency, since regular dietary intake wasn't enough. Brand doesn't matter, since it's prescription-only. Non-vitamin supplements is Omega-3 if I haven't eaten mu

If that "I'm not in the US" button can lead to a page with general planting recommendations for people abroad, it'd be a very nice touch! Maybe a list of tools that are useful, or a link to services that may help, if you're feeling extra ki

Which is about the same time (well, a little bit more) as the wait times in public hospitals in awfully socialist Norway. State covers 62% of the cost up to a maximum copay, after that they'll pay the rest for you. Having various chronic il

It's not quite as good as rationality winning hard, but still, it's not bad - and yes, the BCA should bear Singh's costs. And a change to British libel law would be nice, too.
