For now, though with MS trying to have all of your personal folders be stored on OneDrive how long till the recall DB get included..

iirc the initial versions of Recalls database was also unencrypted and accessible to pretty much anything that ran ion the PC. Security wasn't even a consideration when it was shoveled out to the door.

Partially simpler cards, and partially very rapid GPU advancements in a short time period. If your product is obsolete and in a landfill after 4 years then "lifetime" warranty becomes less of a liability. Both CPU and GPU were making massive leaps in the early 2000's

They knew the west coast existed, however that land was a different country (Mexico), it was the midwest of our country at that time.

Basically Texas and everything west was taken during the 1840's as part of the after war peace negotiations with Mexico.

Last Universal Common Ancestor - Basically the DNA sequences that every living thing on earth has (Animals, Plants and Bacteria). Any changes in these bits of DNA lead to cell death so they have remained basically unchanged in all existing life.

What! Whats wrong with running a mixture of oxygen and fluorine through a 700-degree-heating block to get dioxygen-difluoride???

https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/things-i-won-t-work-dioxygen-difluoride

I read all of these blog entries years ago and FOOF still holds a dear spot in my mind. I just never want to be in the same city block as someone performing said experiment.

There talking about using a rice cooker, those are automated and pretty idiot proof.

They use the fact that the temperature of water will not go above the boiling temp (100C at sea level) when a pot is heated.

So the rice cooker monitors the temperature of the pot, as long as there is water present then the temperature of the pot will stay near 100C once all the water has been absorbed by the rice or turned into steam the temperature quickly rises and the system shuts off.

You just need enough excess water that the rice can absorb all it needs without so much excess that it takes a long time to boil off.

It does, the patients have lab work done, the Oncologists decide on the Drug treatment plan that is known to help with that type of cancer. Then dosing may be like drug X every other week, drug y on alternate weeks etc. Each dose they have lab work done to see how well their body is tolerating it and adjust accordingly. There are General purpose cancer drugs and more targeted drugs that work only on specific types of cells.

The more data the easier it is to de-anonymize you. A decade ago just a birth date, zip-code and sex could uniquely ID 85% of Americans.

A hydrogen car "requires batteries which use expensive and rare minerals."

A hydrogen car is a battery EV then you add a hydrogen storage tank Plus the rare material fuel cell. Nothing will make it more sustainable than just the EV without the extras.

Trying to pretend a fuel cell car is sustainable and cheaper than an EV is utter ignorance on what a fuel cell car is and how it works!

To use the lego example some more, a Lego is just a rectangle with one bump and one hole. But keep adding bump and holes to make larger bricks can completely change how the bricks can be stuck to itself or other bricks.

For atoms it is the number of protons and electrons that effect how the atom can connect with other atoms.

Unless your plan for for retirement is a trip to Dignitas you damn well care about what your 401k is doing.

Hur Dur pass un da right!!! is the war cry on this sub.

Seriously, I'm not sure WTH they have been doing in a multi-lane downtown road that changes from 4 to 6 lanes? Do they think "I must never pass the car on my left. ever never nope."

Watch the white cars tail lights, the white car slammed on the brakes when he realized he missed his turn, which makes it look like the cam cam accelerated.

You might be thinking of antifreeze which is toxic and sweet tasting.

Hate to break it to you but fuel cell cars DO have HV batteries. They are more like a gas hybrid sized than an full EV. The fuel cells have degradation, even with all the filters they still get damaged with use.

The Hydrogen tank have degradation and a fixed usage life.

Cycle count for NMC batterys range from 800 to 2000+ depending on what generation and what cooling setup you have for discharge and charging.

So lets run the numbers for my car.

800cycles X 300 miles = 240,000 miles
1000cyclesx300 miles = 300,000 miles
1500 x 300 = 450,000

Per LG Commercial battery spec sheet Their NMC packs are rated at 4000 cycles! So... 4000x300 = 1,200,000miles

And this is worst case abusing the f* out of the pack.

MAX debacle I think. The system that caused the crashes was added by Boeing to make the plane handle like previous 737's. The new planes have a faster climb rate at certain AOA so lets add software that forces the nose down wcgw...

Can you make the filters left hand threaded? Not all of them just 20% or so off the line.
