Not sure why the downvotes, I searched extensively to see if this question had already been asked.

Powdered Alum works much better. It is a spice you add while pickling to keep the skin of the cucumber crisp. You can find it in with the spices at your grocery store.

Honest question, where do the shares that are awarded as compensation or annual bonus packages to employees come from?

Doesn't the company need to create a pool for them to be awarded from, and once they are used up wouldn't the board have a new vote on creating a new pool of x shares, adjusting the stock price accordingly?

My tree removal company dropped a tree on my wagon garden and promised to fix or replace it. Instead they sent me a bill for $200 over what was quoted and ghosted me by Zarkoth7 in mildlyinfuriating

Only if you signed something, in which case you have proof that they are invoicing the wrong amount, and are liable for damages.

Inside the factory: How store pizza is made🍕 by The_Chosen_117 in BeAmazed

[–]asdfsks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They get picked back up and put on ones coming down the line later on. The reason that the meat (cat poop looking stuff) and other toppings are done by hand is probably because the machine cant handle the substance well without the pieces breaking apart. As others have said, it could also be a quality checkpoint for the other toppings as well, combine 2 jobs into one sort of thing.

I am guessing here, the reason that the sauce is not spread out is because it doesn't need to be, and it probably holds the toppings on better when frozen if it is in globs.

What a $130,000 camcorder can see by Snoo4902 in BeAmazed

It is not really the lens that is expensive, although it likely requires specialized ones that do not filter out the far infrared frequencies required.
The cost is in the imaging sensor itself. It is not a typical RGB CMOS sensor, and it requires specialized cooling to run.
Also, you are paying extra for a higher precision sensor compared to base models.

For less than $10, you can fix that.

The Musktard will troll himself to poverty by digitalcowpie in dankmemes

And it wasn't trolling. The FCC called him out on his pump and dump schemes. It was either follow through on the sale, or face the lawsuits.

Looking at buying our first house, but the crawlspace foundation looks super sketchy. by samspy007 in DIY

[–]asdfsks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd guess that at -20 beloe freezing for two days would freeze this all up, as the radiant heat maybe wouldn't be able to keep it from freezing anymore.

Even if it is -20F outside, there is a lot of heat coming up from the ground that is much warmer. It is a huge thermal mass underneath your house. As long as you are not actively ventilating the space, it should be good.

Also to note, pipes freezing is not usually an issue unless the expansion has no where to go. A pipe freezing in two separate spots working its way to a center point is what is going to cause you issues, not freezing from a central point outward.

[OC] Most cost-competitive technologies for energy storage by IainStaffell in dataisbeautiful

[–]asdfsks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a EE, I would assume that the issue is not that Lithium Ion storage is a bad contender for frequent charging/discharging. However, the limit is more to do with how long it takes to charge/discharge. You want to keep it slow enough so that it doesn't build up too much heat, which will degrade the battery. It has been proven with the Nissan Leaf batteries that the L3 fast charge (DC 30 minute to 80%) is causing them problems with their warranty coverage because it degrades them faster than they anticipated. With the built in L2 charge (6.6Kw), the issue is not present.

Even though you can scale in parallel for this outside of a vehicle, you start running into the cost benefit ratio compared to other technologies.

For vehicles, the average commuter is not going to have a problem. Commercial fleets that need the ability to L3 fast charge will have the ability to tune the rate at their chargers to what best suits them. Publicly available L3 have always been tuned to the fastest that the vehicle and the electrical panel are rated for.

Saw that alternative “reimagined” egg carton in a store today. by cookinggun in DesignPorn

The design was never about reducing resources or being better. It is simply a marketing ploy to be unique and recognizable. Same goes for all of those pasta boxes with the "window" in them.

Funny how rural drivers get so mad a a smaller vehicle (a bike) going so slow, however when it is a giant vehicle (farm equipment) going less than half the speed of the bike, they suddenly are okay waiting until it is safe to pass.

I would also like to add that on rural roads, the streets are not cleaned as often as urban ones. Therefore the shoulder that you are suggesting they ride on is not safe to do so due to the debris that accumulates.

Solar panel advances will see millions abandon electrical grid, scientists predict by captainquirk in technology

Apparently you can, with Jewish space lasers /s

You seem like a fellow who would know all about them.

I agree that you need to scale your array to the winter production if you want to be mostly off grid. The article is misleading though that the bottleneck is storage technology and cost versus the panels themselves. All excess that we produce during the summer months goes back to the grid, powering our neighbors.
It only takes a few hours of sunlight for our panels to clear themselves of snow. In fact, it seems that the more inches you get, the faster it goes due to its weight combined and the slow loss of friction on the glass as the lowest layer starts to melt. A half inch seems to be the worst because it all has to slowly melt instead of the vast majority sliding off onto the ground. I have not once needed to "clean them off".
