   I didn't think I'd see Steve mentioned on this site! The camp stove would probably be fine, but the fuel would be an issue. I wonder if axes are allowed in carry on?

   I'm stuck with a cloth interior. I bring a beach towel to drape on the seat after my rides. Mud falls onto the towel which makes it easy to clean out of the vehicle.

   It depends on the use case. If your server is able to handle 45k connections but 42k of them are stalled because of mobile users with too much packet loss, QUIC could look pretty attractive. QUIC is a solution to some of the problematic a

   QUIC would work okay, but not really have many advantages for machine-to-machine traffic. Machine-to-machine you tend to have long-lived connections over a pretty good network. In this situation TCP already works well and is currently han

   I've wanted a receipt printer for years just for giggles, after doing some custom integrations with them in medical labs. It turns out F**book marketplace in my area has some for movie night prices, just in case someone else is thinki

   One other thing you can do - live in a newly developed area. Areas that had car traffic when lead was still used in fuel can have significant amounts of lead in the soil. If you live in an older area and suspect lead poisoning, test your

   I had to look this up, and I found the answer interesting because I used to develop software to accurately report magnetic declination at any point in time, for directional drilling oil wells in Canada. https://www.geomag.nrcan.

   I'm not a lawyer, but worked in the US for 6 years as a Canadian TN. The green card eligibility is the big differentiator between TN and H1B. Other than that, there isn't much difference that I could tell. One difference betwee

   My guess is no, it won't. This is US taxpayer money being used to increase the manufacturing capacity available to the market so that the US has domestic manufacturing when stuff goes sideways. A similar thing regularly occurs with au

    It is unlikely that a natural gas conversion could be done for this price. The tanks to hold natural gas are quite expensive and I doubt we will find a significantly better way to build a high pressure tank than we already know about. Then

    The design decreases the efficiency of the car in total, through increase in weight, increase in mass and probably a few other things we haven't thought of. It makes up for it by allowing you to replace gasoline with electricity, which i

    I don't see how the design could be adapted to disc brakes. The majority of vehicles sold have drum brakes on the rear, probably close to the 90% figure the person in the video mentions. Furthermore, cars with disc brakes on the back ofte
