Another gas bubbling through the water "knocks" the dissolved gasses out of the water. So the oxygen bubbles up out of the water, along with the argon.

I believe you can make a process noncacheable today, and maybe even disable branch prediction. This would totally shut down Spectre and Meltdown. You can disable SMT, and there's a whole host of other things you can do to isolate your

All good points, and certainly if you went entirely off-grid, avoiding a water tap fee is big savings. Though, 110 gallons isn't going to get you very far if you're totally off-grid.

Where does the article suggest the water is wasted? It seems to focus on the savings in terms of reduced demand on the municipal water plant- rainwater doesn't need to be treated- and in terms of changed behavior: once they got that r

It used to be illegal to do anything except direct the rainwater, e.g. direct a downspout into your flower garden. You are now allowed 2 55-gallon rain barrels. The bummer is, even though you can now have rain barrels, it rains infrequently

The reason it's so fascinating though, is that because it is a many-variable optimization problem where 1) many of the variables conflict and 2) we haven't actually agreed on the desired optimum. In the end it still very much has

Geography still matters because your interests are entwined with where you live, at least so long as you continue to venture out the front door.

Reminds me of water rights. During droughts, huge campaigns against residential water use in California- meanwhile industrial agriculture consumes 80%+ of the water used in the state, and has no incentive to cut back.

The only one who can keep up the house is owner, but as you can see in this case they'll just choose to pocket the rent. I don't think it's just a profit thing. If you're a small time landlord, it's probably incre

Naturally, a lone country road designed for speed is fine. It's when you've got a high speed road with lots of on-street parking and pedestrians right next to traffic, even house fronts, where you've got a major clash of func

Speed, in of itself, is not dangerous Certainly! Falling from great height isn't dangerous either, you know.

I think the big picture goal of reducing speeds is much more than putting up a different sign. There's a whole movement out there pushing for denser development, reduced car-driven-development, and streets that are truly lower speed, n

Reducing speeds is a form of collision prevention, is it not? A typical car can just about stop on a dime at 15mph, and a pedestrian has more time to react. There's a whole slew of other pedestrian-friendly street design that we could

Has there been a rash of failures? Not a meteorologist, but I usually hear that ECMWF & GFS have generally been trading blows, and have different strengths.

Has no one yet tried forking AMP and simply removing all the Google? Call it OpAMP. You might not get into the carousel right off the bat, but if you get the ball rolling you'd have actual leverage instead of writing open letters on th

That's why it so perfectly illustrates the problem. The detractors are correct, a website can be made fast without AMP. But that isn't the problem AMP solves. To draw a crude analogy- I don't have a problem with alcohol, I

Post-AMP, it's easy to see why it never got solved before. Many, many detractors commenting along the lines of: I was perfectly able to make my personal website fast; there is no problem, no one needs AMP.

To me, the fact that 'nothing happened' was a very much the point Maybe nothing grand, but it's pretty hard to stomach movies that don't go anywhere at all. I come away wondering, what is the point? Why are you telling

The US is certainly too big for some things. But it's definitely not a good argument when we're talking about urban & suburban street design. How big the US is or isn't, means nothing when we're talking about how bes

Ok, so really it's just about targeting a leaner body composition, that makes a lot more sense. Thank you.

What's your BMI & BF%? IMO as another skinny person, you should probably clean up your diet and put on some healthy weight (muscle & bone) first. The discussion about carbs, keto, etc applies to some people, but for the truly s

I still haven't really figured out how CR is supposed to be sustainable. I am around BMI of 19, and have been as low as 17 (6'2", 133lb). I become extremely unhealthy when I don't eat enough. As far as I know, I can&#x27

Have you tried dropping the dose and interleaving with acetomenophin? I have been hearing recently that's an increasingly popular strategy, sharing the load between the kidneys and liver.

Those were generally about culture and morals though, right? Rock and roll, drugs, etc scared parents because it was viewed as depraved & debaucherous, nobody was worried it was a substitute for good parenting and that it would impair y
