  • When we microwave in our house we say we're going to "zap it". What do you say?

  • The issue is the ambuguity in what someone intends when they just say radiation. It is valid to call any electromagnetic wave radiation. However, as for health concerns, what matters is "ionizing radiation." Microwaves are too low energy to be ionizing, so they don't match what most people think of when they say radiation with the implication of ionizing.

  • Michigan bills would require landlords to do repairs within 48 hours or renters can withhold rent

    Jump

  • A short time frame is fine because the consequences for missing it is that rent is delayed until the repair is complete, or the tenant is authorized to arrange for repairs themselves and deduct the costs from the rent. Neither of those are onerous so there doesn't need to be a long grace period.

    This is also specifically for safety related repairs. It's not like a tenant can withhold rent for a broken window screen or dripping faucet.

  • It's not about that either. It's about connecting photo ID to browsing profiles and deanonymising the internet.

  • When your the big spoon how do you keep your earthward arm from falling asleep?

  • My ribcage rests on a memory foam pillow. My head rests on a buckwheat pillow. My arm goes in the gap between the two pillows. The buckwheat pillow is easily remoldable so my arm can go underneath and find a good angle without making my head feel unstable.

  • Notice the Bold F? These results are matching the search query 'F' that is already typed in. The all M options contain no 'F' and therefore don't match the search string.

  • You need to revisit the concept of centripetal acceleration. You are remembering incorrectly. Any change in the velocity vector is acceleration. That can be magnitude and/or direction.

  • Will the motherboard in my decade old desktop pc work with any new graphics card?

    Jump

  • Ironically, high end cards usually only have small penalties for having a previous gen PCIe. On a full x16 lanes, there's usually bandwidth to spare. Although you wouldn't want to put a RTX 5090 on PCIe 3.0. It was the RX 6500 XT with its mere x4 lane count that took a significant hit running on PCIe 3.0 instead of 4.0. That was not a good limitation for that market segment since the low end is where people are most likely to try to avoid upgrading motherboards/cpus.

    YSK how to slice an Avocado

    Jump

  • The trick to getting the pit off the knife is to not whack it in to begin with. Hold the knife parallel to the first cut and use the point on the back of the knife near your hand to pry the pit up. It doesn't take much force and the pit pops right out without sticking to the knife.

  • If my county passes a new tax for um lets say a new jail. They staff it and build it and everything with the tax money. How come it seems the tax is there forever? Why not get rid of it when built?

    Jump

  • Usually that kind of thing is done through a bond measure. The increased tax isn't enough to pay for a big project while it's under construction. Big projects are financed by selling bonds. Those bonds need to keep being payed back well after the project is complete.

  • We should all be so excited that a new federal sales tax that didn't go through congress, and hasn't been challenged by congress, is only at absurd levels instead of straight embargo levels.

  • Genius

  • I think it would be the progression from gathering firewood in the winter. They would notice that logs are easier to drag in the snow/on ice. Logs also glide way more easily along their length as opposed to across the side. So maybe you pick a couple long logs to pile all your other sticks on so you can drag a whole heap of wood in one go. Eventually that gets refined into a sleigh with bone runners. Then you just need someone who wants to have some fun with the idea and plays around with making a miniature version they can strap to their feet.

    TIL ancient Romans used communal toilets—stone benches with keyhole-shaped holes—where people sat side by side without privacy, chatting while waste drained beneath them using flowing water.

  • True. If your gut has decided that its purpose is to hate you and everything you eat, then no amount of fiber will convince it otherwise.

    IBS isn't always lifelong though. I hope you can work out a diet that avoids angering the growling intenstinal gremlins.

  • Fiber helps with that as well.

  • The North Carolina legislature has a supermajority of far right republicans. The NC GOP is currently brazenly attempting to throw out legitimate ballots to steal a state supreme court seat, and the courts are going along with it. If they want to move for political concerns, I don't think NC is enough of an improvement to justify the disruption involved.

  • Another way to view it is that college classes are filled with your future colleagues, and should be treated similar to a workplace. Students should generally dress similarly to how they expect to dress in their future workplaces. Whether that excludes a tank top is a matter of discretion, but clearly the proffesor did not find it to be professional. There's no hard and fast rule, but I am surprised by the indignant tone in the comments here. Lectures are the domain of the professor and its not outlandish for them to set expectations about what they consider acceptable conduct for their lectures.
