  • That sounds like antisemitic hate speech...

  • I like edamame as much as the next guy, but it will never replace bacon, no matter how charming the pig.

  • These also have inefficiencies which would reduce the runtime on the battery.

    Not wrong, but the efficiency of inverters is really high, loss is just about negligible.

  • Since liquid water can't be compressed

    Common misconception - it can, just not very much, so the volume change is tiny, and in practice, there's usually something else in the system that is changing volume by a larger amount- like air bubbles, or if there's anything elastic in the plumbing, it will stretch - but regardless, water absolutely can be under pressure.

    resistance only reduces current, but when I think of hair in a pipe, the pressure after the obstruction would also be lower

    You are correct, in electronics, resistance drops voltage (assuming the load is in series with the resistance). In fact, a cheap quick and dirty digital to analog converter uses a bunch of resistors to supply different voltages...

  • AC is like tides...

  • The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club.

  • Water analogy works better with plumbing. A river, not so much. But people aren't that much better at understanding plumbing, unfortunately...

  • My mom was making an effort to understand Ubuntu just before she died...

  • FUD sells...

  • Lol I had one like that - I made a copy for a friend, but it wasn't just one code word, it could be any one of about a hundred - but he was dedicated, he figured it out somehow over the course of a few weeks.

  • I'm not somewhere where I can watch a video, how does a router have a display at all? Is it streaming to a web page?

  • Normal Windows updates don't take an hour

    Correct. But who can tell the difference beforehand between a normal update and an abnormal one? The problem is Windows tends to hide those details. I've sat on support calls where a server needs to be rebooted for some configuration change, and Windows insists on applying updates because hey, you're rebooting anyway, so what if it takes 1/2 hour to do this thing that should take 5 minutes...

  • Helium in balloons is returning to the atmosphere. We can re harvest it if we want

    No. It wafts away into space. All the helium we find is a product of radioactive decay- alpha particles- which gets trapped underground. Once it's released into the atmosphere, it is effectively gone.

  • The problem is those passive adapters only work because one side switches to the other's protocol.

  • If there was one food that would supply all my nutritional needs, didn't need to be refrigerated and could be kept for months without going bad, that'd be a hell yeah from me.

  • Do you call them George?

  • That percentage is non zero. The percentage of Waze executives going to prison for it is zero.

  • Ride it down the side of the pyramid...

  • This is why I have no qualms about piracy. The workers get shafted either way.
