I can vouch for that. A friend built one of these and since it worked really well, so I and some others built five more last year. Make sure to put a piece of window screen over the openings of the tube to keep insects and spiders out. If y

These measurement devices have a limited lifetime and I think it is really the intake of dust and dirt that limits how long they can be used. That's why they're not running continously but for some seconds every few minutes (becau

Russia biggest problem is that once they were a great nation. Now they are no longer but can't accept that. Since they have no way of keeping up with the others, all they can do is putting a spoke in the wheel of the others. If they ha

Here is an idea: you have to return books with interest, i.e. by adding thoughtful annotations.

You have one of these multi-function printers in your company’s office? Chances are that your company is using someone’s services for maintenance work and toner supply. Bad news: without these chips, the copier does not/cannot keep tr

OK, let's assume you have 75% elemental resistance. You also take 15% reduced damage and 10% less damage. You have 5% chance to avoid elemental damage and 10% to dodge it and are under the effect of Elemental Equilibrium and Gluttony o

Synthwave‘s cheery, Vaporwave‘s sad/depressed. I never liked the latter for that reason.

Do you use dark background/dark mode? Dust shows a lot more on dark than on bright background while for Haidinger's brush it is the opposite.

After some practice I can see Haidinger's brush (=> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haidinger%27s_brush ) with little to no effort. Turns out that this is inadvisable! Why? Because now I can see the effect each t

I think that I once heard that in Switzerland the second cheapest bidder is the one to get the contract, exactly to discourage someone aggressively underbidding all others. I could not verify that now though.

The only bad thing about time changes is adapting to different sleeping hours. Since the change between standard time and DST does not come as a surprise, I do that slowly over the course of a month. When the change actually happens, I drop

Intermittency of renewables is less of a problem if one rids oneself of the medieval seeming idea of energy self-sufficiency. Energy does not have to be produced where it is needed. We can transfer it already. The grid would need upgrades b
