However, the governor will not be apologizing for calling it ‘bags’ instead of ‘cornhole.’”

B key vs M key. Laptop likely needs a SATA M.2 using B or B+M keying, you have a PCIe x4 drive with M keying.

The headline margin of error only applies at the centre (50%), and decreases towards the extremes.

Wikipedia says that for a poll with 1013 participants and the same headline margin of error, a 2% result would be ±0.8%.

It’s more likely that this is the crowd who deliberately gives the most absurd answer possible.

Dealing with bump and sway is mostly a matter of running a ballast cleaner/tamper/regulator along the track more regularly. Maybe replacing some rail. Unless the actual sub-foundation is bad; that gets really disruptive.

Much cheaper than trying to ease curves, gradients, structure clearance, or provide grade separation.

The issue is acronyms; there’s millions of products, schematics, datasheets, and manuals that refer to them as MISO and MOSI with no further explanation. Any new standard that doesn’t fit runs into the 15-competing-standards problem, and ought to be followed by an “AKA MISO” every time it’s used.

Public policy can/should fix shitty schools. You ‘just’ need funding, staffing, and leadership, plus to some extent a willingness to ride roughshod over parents who willingly avoid teaching e.g. science, sex ed.

Public policy can only do so much about shitty parents.

Definitely; look at the railings in the stairs at the far left.

You’re better off putting the panel somewhere where it always gets sun, and isn’t extra weight you have to haul around.

Leafs have battery packs with no active heating or cooling, which significantly impacts their performance in bad weather and when fast charging. Coupled with very small packs in the early models, and you have a recipe for a bad experience.

Bear in mind also that the extra weight and possibly aerodynamic compromises actually reduce range. In some cases, particularly at night, in poor weather, and at high speed, the panels would be a net negative.

They would only be useful if your car sat around in the sun for long periods without access to a charger.

Secondhand stuff can be really cheap if you know where to look, but the drawbacks are usually power and noise.

The main cause of acid rain is/was sulfur in diesel fuel and coal. When burned and then mixed with water in the air, you get sulfuric acid.

Ultra-low sulfur diesel and flue gas desulfurization (scrubbers) have more-or-less eliminated actual acid rain as a serious issue in the western world.

Like the ozone layer issues, lead paint, and leaded fuel, this was a relatively easy problem to deal with, and could for the most part be corrected by moderate tech changes/substitution and better handling, though China is backsliding on CFCs.

Greenhouse gases and plastics are much harder to deal with because the issues are fundamental to the actual purpose the product serves.

Bear in mind many models also have voice recognition, and the Bluetooth can potentially pick up the MAC on every phone in the car.

Biggest question to me is why you need an IP in the first place?

Yeah, NZ & Aus both have a ‘standard drinks’ system.

My guess is that larger quantities of alcohol (particularly bottles of spirits but also wine) simply aren’t intended to be drunk by one person in one sitting. Total volume of alcohol isn’t that useful; it’s more useful to be able to work out how much is in one shot or one glass.

This is especially important when you look at the same product being sold by the shot/bottle/cask/barrel, or being able to buy a gallon of it in your own container historically.

In beverages, it’s g/100ml.

Yup. Expect that everything lasts exactly as long as you don’t want it to.

You’re also potentially blocking a seat that could be used by a paying passenger, and the operator will statistically run more/longer trains at higher cost to cope with increased demand.
