  • Their isn’t one way to make a flat head screwdriver. Some a chisel and some are slots. The slotted ones are better but more expensive.

    Both still slip from the screw and are a pain to manually screw (slotted less so).

    Pozi is the best + type screw. It’s pretty much standard for UK construction. The only time a different type is used is sometimes Phillips for plaster board or external hex and internal torx for long or large screws.

  • A glass may have a spec that allows it to be filled to the brim. Doesn’t mean it’s a good idea, especially when you want to run up stairs with it.

  • This was caused by lowest bidder decision making. Along with a tolerance for critical systems designed, developed and manufactured outside of North America and Western Europe. If a country doesn’t have a history of liberal democracy, they can never be fully trusted.

  • Intel Foundry Fails To Impress Once Again, 18A Process "Yield Rates' Are Reported To Be Only 10% Making Mass-Production Impossible

    Jump

  • Because there are so many small parts to a processor you need 99.99+% at most stages to stand any chance of mass production. In this context 60-70% is seriously impressive. Millions of things have to be done right to get this type of yield.

  • Churchills attitude and comments about it suggests otherwise. He was hailed as an evil cruel racist, not in retrospect, but during the war. Churchill wasn’t well liked, as people think he was during his time. The people that think Churchill was one of Britain best PMs have only a basic understanding of British history. Churchill was immediately voted out as soon as elections resumed. When he got back in a PM his party had less votes than the opposition.

  • In this situation a hub is still better. You can pack all the stuff away plugged into the hub for easier set up. If your plugging that all into your laptop, you’ll need to plug it all back in again when you move.

  • It’s so they have more people to put into the meat grinder.

    Ukraine isn’t the end game for Russia.

  • Canada would arrest Israeli PM if he came here: Trudeau

    Jump

  • They would. Anyone seriously attempting it in their country would have already accept the possibility of all out war with Israel.

    Countries like Canada and those in western Europe have stronger military alliances than Israel. They also have a better network of procuring arms, blocking and sanctioning (long term) and are likely to win in a total war senario. Israel’s main backer (USA), would be compelled by NATO to support the NATO members over Israel. Without the US arms, intelligence and presence Israel would be invaded by its neighbours (this doesn’t justify Israel’s current actions, I believe it was entirely possible for Israel to make an acceptable peace with their neighbours - they choose not to and use the consequences of their actions to justify their actions ).

    When your doing something like arresting a genocidial head of state, you don’t send a couple of police officers. You send multiple armoured vehicles, hundreds of soldiers and some air support. His security will surrender, aid in his arrest or be shot. The first two are more likely. Israel would rather contest this legally and politically than with might. If the body guards start resisting in anyway then their legal and political case falls apart. It’s all out war of which they will eventually lose and be overrun by their neighbours. Unless NATO invades Israel and decides to provide security for several years.

  • UN watchdog confirms riot control agent used on Ukraine battlefield

  • War crimes are mutually agreed by close to parity powers. Crowd control isn’t. One group decides what is acceptable and what isn’t. I would be surprised if any government allow citizens the right to use CS gas on their police force.

    They aren’t going to reevaluate crowd control tactics because the crowd don’t have the power to force a change.

  • How can one make cotton socks softer?

  • Too long in the dryer and they cook. Think of dryered flowers, they go brittle and scratchy when they’ve been dried. When those same flowers are fresh their petals are soft.

  • Fabric softener is a scam. It just coats your clothes in plastic. It will lead to rougher clothes over time.

    Your likely over drying your clothes and causing them to be harder and coarser than they need to. Your then compensating with fabric softener.

  • Not all patents are good. But a patent system is good. It could be better but the general concept is not flawed like the person I was responding to suggests.

    The physical object isn’t what is patented in this case. It is the method to create the object that has a patent. One that can’t be reversed engineered as it isn’t part of the final product. You could only reverse engineer it if the process was not novel or not obvious to anyone knowledgeable in the field. If both of these conditions are true then the patent should not have been granted.

    Patents are not inherently bad. This is a bad patent. Patent laws don’t have to be changed, because this patent shouldn’t have been granted. The issue is ineffective patent reviews, not patents. Getting rid of patents is not a good idea. If you think it is you probably don’t have a good enough grasp on what a patent is.

    You can make something if you figure out how they did it because it was obvious. In this case the patent isn’t valid. If you have to develop a solution then the patent is probably valid. The patent is a reward for developing and sharing the solution publically.

    If you still don’t grasp why patents are useful. It may be helpful to think of it like open source software. The patent is the code base that is freely accessible to everyone. This preserves the knowledge and lets others build on it. However, to incentivise people to make their code open source you provide protections that stop others from selling the same code you developed.

    The incentive mechanism is why far more businesses produce patents than produce open source code.

    If you remove patents businesses stop funding internal r and d overnight. It increase the risk and reduces the reward.

  • The patent system explicitly provides free access to knowledge. The patent is the knowledge that would be kept secret otherwise.

    You would still have monopolies, except things like the ingredients to medicines would be unknown.

  • Patents do provide some value. If there were no patents than companies would make their technological development a a secret and not share the work with the world.

    The patent systems exchanges knowledge and technology development for a temporary monopoly on the technology. It means a company can publish the ingredients to medicines, methods of manufacturing etc. if they didn’t have the patent system they would keep these secret and if a business folded this knowledge would be lost.

  • Whenever you get a new router or move somewhere, change the WiFi access point name and password. Set it to the same line you used previously. That way all your devices will connect to it without changing anything.

    Use a new unique name and password. Never keep the one that is printed on the back of the router. You can make the password easier to share by making it a few words and numbers. Still very strong, but much easier to say aloud to someone.

  • They also produce much more meat. They also eat indigestible (to humans) food. Cows stomachs can eat and gain calories from grass in a way humans or dogs can’t, for dogs and humans grass is fibre and doesn’t provide many calories.

    Cows are great in this case for food security, ground that would struggle to produce much grains or vegetables can still produce grass. If you feed your cows a lot of grains the food security aspect is nullified. Even feeding dogs grains for a country like North Korea that struggles with food security is not a rational unless the dogs provide a benefit like guard dogs etc. During World War Two many people in UK cities killed their dogs when rationing was put in place (not to eat) purely because it was suggested the pets would consume food that could have been human food.
