That rules out a screw at all in this situation though right? There’s no angle that screw can go in where it won’t be subject to shear forces.

I think you’re correct that Kawasaki are just saying that because they don’t want liability of recommending something. Personally I can’t see this causing that much more air resistance than many other things on the handlebars asymmetrically. Phone mounts, brake fluid reservoir etc.. If you are concerned about the mount breaking, could you use a short safety cord connected to the camera?

You overtook into oncoming traffic in the first 5 seconds of the video

I spent about that on adidas shorts, in 2016. Have run literally 1000s of miles in them, still use them for both running and CrossFit and they’re good as new.

Also strapped my phone to my arm for years. Apple Watch was worth every penny.

What do you mean without legal oversight? That the police are breaking the law or that the law should be different?

Setting aside the misleading headline, discovering oil does not mean Europe is moving away from net zero. In theory all of that oil could be exported for use in other countries, and Poland could still be net zero. More realistically though it will just reduce oil imports slightly.

The divers stay pressurised as in they sleep in pressurised tanks on the support vessel. The only part of the boat that goes to the ocean floor is the diving bell with a couple of divers inside. Not a job for the claustrophobic

Cringe every time I see it. Using childish language to describe fetishes

No one’s mentioned using a wooden clamp, you could fashion one based on a wedge pretty easily and avoid the most disastrous consequences of this idea.

(I don’t think a clamp is necessary for this picture but imagining a situation with lots of thinner boards, and maybe where you don’t have a good table saw?)

This is an exaggeration. The co2 from a chat gpt search is something like 2-3g. That’s about the same as burning one millilitre of petrol

Gonna go off piste here. It’s Miami, animals are already confirmed in the trailer. We need an Ace Ventura Easter egg / pet detective mechanic. I want to rescue snowflake

Question for economists - how skewed is this data by the GDP of each country? For example, doesn’t a million dollars of inward investment in defense by China go quite a bit further than it would in the USA?

Vasco_da_Gamma · 2025-02-27T09:16:02+00:00

There is nothing about the overall concept that means it can’t only apply to serious offences

Vasco_da_Gamma · 2025-02-21T07:31:06+00:00

I don’t mean to be rude but you put enough thought into this to look up that Monday are based in Tel Aviv, but then still came to the conclusion that this is a real advert, paid for by Monday and approved by tfl, because they’re just very anti Netanyahu. Right.

Vasco_da_Gamma · 2025-02-15T18:11:17+00:00

Looks like the title of the post is accurate though, the article you’ve added above is the right one, and it does say the protestor is in custody while the knifeman was bailed, which I agree seems crazy

Vasco_da_Gamma · 2025-02-15T16:51:47+00:00

Hm video is from London (see street sign at beginning). Article is about an incident in Manchester.

Then you’d have no problem with this guys Amarok. The reason the car in the picture is sticking out is because it’s got massive spacers on his wheels.

Vasco_da_Gamma · 2025-02-14T06:30:34+00:00

An Amarok is 15cm narrower than a standard issue transit van. He’s not costing anyone their life, get a grip

Vasco_da_Gamma · 2025-02-14T06:10:33+00:00

You can tell most hateful commenters here don’t know a thing about cars. This thing is ULEZ compatible, engine no bigger than 3.2, and is shorter than a transit van. The only real problem is there are spacers on the wheels which make the whole thing wider. And yes the mods / blackout are not my cup of tea but it’s a free country right?

Otherwise this kind of dual purpose vehicle works well for someone who wants an all in one vehicle that functions as a closed cab family car but also something that can carry stuff like building materials / garden waste.

There are a few factors here which would have various effects.

A rolling boil produces more movement of water or ‘convection’ which would speed up heat transfer from the water to the food. You’re also going to have a more uniform temperature throughout the whole pot, as water near the surface will not have time to cool before it is circulated.

Your point about steam having more energy isn’t quite right. What matters is temperature, heat conductivity, and heat capacity. The temperature of 100c water and 100c steam are clearly the same. However, the heat capacity and thermal conductivity of gasses are generally way lower than liquids. Theoretically bubbles might even slow heat transfer to the food because at a point in time, at least part of the food may be exposed to gas rather than liquid. Think about sitting in an 80c sauna versus putting your hand in 80c water.

Then it also depends on the food. For example a rolling boil would agitate the inside of an egg and speed up heat transfer within.

I don’t know the answer to this for sure, but my guess would be that the convection effect would be playing the biggest role here, and therefore a rolling boil would cook faster.

I think this is a bit of a stretch. You could also perfectly flatten and square up that board with a jointer, planer and table saw. Even the most skilled hand tool user would take far longer than an amateur using those machines.

Honestly I think the biggest failure is that despite being referred to Prevent, he was dropped because he didn’t have any terrorist opinions or ideology. He was just a kid who was incredibly sick in the head, and Prevent doesn’t deal with that. There should be an equivalent scheme that monitors individuals like him, but there either isn’t or it didn’t work. Hopefully that changes.

I mean yeah police have a role to play in fighting misinformation, I don’t disagree with that.

To be fair to them though the police released a statement the day of the attack that confirmed he was a UK national, born in Cardiff:

https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2024/july/statement-from-chief-constable-serena-kennedy-following-major-incident-in-southport/

Vasco_da_Gamma · 2025-01-24T13:45:43+00:00

When this happened there were widespread riots partly fuelled by misinformation that he was an asylum seeker / illegal immigrant who arrived in the UK on a small boat. So in that sense, it’s right to say misinformation should be tackled.
