  • Does betteridge's law apply to questions that haven't been answered yet?

  • Being in a state of having a currently working machine with replacement parts on hand for the most likely failure isn't what I would consider rake in face, unless the "fix" adds a safety liability.

  • I went to Isle Royale when I was 12. I don't remember specific trails, but I do remember being very poorly equipped for weather in the 50's in August. A crazy storm came while we were there and whipped up all the cold lake water. We ended up cutting the trip short, but had to wait for the ferry to recontinue service due to large swells from the storm. Seeing the north shore from the ridge was cool. Also wild blueberries were a nice break from mre's.

    It was a memorable trip, but it would take a lot of convincing for me to go again.

  • There are plenty of dressings that aren't unhealthy: simple vinnaigrettes, ginger dressing, sesame dressing. Homemade dressings without all the sugar and emulsifiers are usually fine.

  • "Don't breathe the fumes" seems like a bit of an understatement for a reaction that produces chlorine gas.

  • Thank you.

    Brian Higgins had an unbelievably good 2023.

  • Sorry, I must have skimmed too quickly and missed that.

  • Look for an expiration date. Radionucleotide style detectors end up failing with false positives when they reach end of life. You might need to have all the old ones replaced.

  • I lived in an area that was going to start strip mining for sand that was the right consistency for fracking. Plenty of conservatives were amongst the loudest opponents. There's plenty of hypocracy, no need to exaggerate. Their reasons were not wanting to have so much heavy equipment on the roads and fear of silicosis, not opposing natural gas extraction.

  • The majority of people occupying the same bed will have congruent driver/passenger sides. Distant strangers don't need to know which side you are referring to. Couples from different regions could adopt the local convention.

  • My wife got repeated infections and had a lot of pain from the copper iud.

    If you go looking for testimonials you'll find numerous people who had bad experiences with it.

    Also, they really should offer anesthetic or at least a powerful painkiller for the insertion and removal procedures. Doctors act like it's no big deal, but it's very painful.

  • 4 pump impeller failures in 5 years. 1 time a mask strap got past the strainer. I'll take the blame on that, but the other 3 were just long hair and bad design/materials choices.

  • And the algorithm AI does magic to make our product more awesome than the competitor.

    Yeah, the lack of formal definition of what is and is not considered ai definitely muddies the waters when talking about applications and capabilities.

  • 4 times in the last 5 years.

    There's a combination of flaws. The strainer basket doesn't do a very good job keeping debris out of the impeller. There's little separation between the steainer and the impeller. So long hairs that are partially caught in the strainer can still wrap around the impeller.

    The pump itself has a terrible impeller design. The impeller is nylon and is press fit onto a 1/8 brass rod that just has a flat ground on it, no knurling or splines. The nylon cracks easily and ends up free spinning.

    They use the same pump in loads of washer models. So yes, there's a very large user base, but that's a lot of people with part failures. The pump is garbage and lg should not be using it.

  • I'm constantly replacing the drain pump in my LG washer. When a replacement part has thousands of reviews on amazon, you know the brand has to know their parts are crap and either doesn't care or wanted it that way. They're on my never buy list now.

  • Ai is already being incorporated into chip design tools like synopsys. TechTechPotato has an interesting interview with Aart de Geus that is relevant.

    Ai is far off from making high level design improvements, but it can greatly reduce the workload on trace and route and other design steps.

  • The terrible state of online play ruined everything nintendo for me.
