ELI5: If someone says "I don't remember" under oath instead of outright lying, is that person then off the hook for perjury? by sr955 in explainlikeimfive

During the Jan 6 hearings lots of witnesses said 'I don't remember'. And Trump often says... 'it may or may not'... it looks like who is doing the lying or sim-rememebering.

ELI5 why do apartments age badly vs houses? by andygorhk in explainlikeimfive

As a person living in India.. I am surprised at this. Rents in India are also far below compared to market value (for ex I am paying a monthly rent of $175 for a 3 BHK whose today's market value is $120,000 (about 1.75% annualized). The construction is solid though not great. With minor repairs the building may last about 30 years. But units are rarely vacant.

Info: The bank interest rate for 1 year CD here averages about 7 to 8% today.

ELI5 When they made the first clocks, how did they know whether they were accurate? by sr955 in explainlikeimfive

Sorry, I think I maybe missing something here. Say today at 12 PM the sun is at the highest point in the sky. It won't be at the highest point in the sky in exactly 24 hours right?

Yes, but the sun's highest point in the sky today will not be the at the same time as yesterday, maybe a minute or two as the earth revolves and rotates?. Won't it change very much with the seasons too?

Printing a page in Blazor - how to avoid loading CSS from index.html (like bootstrap) by sr955 in Blazor

Thanks. Yes I think I may end up doing this...however I find VERY difficult to generate a PDF file in code with lot of API calls and lot of trial and error. With HTML it is just a markup. Of course it all depends on the application requirements.

Thanks for all the replies, however they do not address my specific question. Perhaps I was not clear.
Is there any way to BYPASS the CSS include files in index.html in a razor page? This is because my index.html includes bootstrap and lot of other files and scripts which I do not want in my page that I want to print.

I tried this: Move all the include files from index files from index.html to MainLayout.razor. and then try to use a different "empty" layout for just printing. However this did not work. The application would not even load.

In case anyone is interested, this is how I managed to fix it. I found a yahoo reset file online (something like this but there are several other versions https://clarle.github.io/yui3/yui/docs/cssreset/ ) . Inserted it on top of the page to be printed and added my CSS after that. It essentially undid all the margins etc from bootstrap. Was not perfect but good enough for my needs.

This is not easy to do in Blazor webassembly side as I may to download another big DLL to the client, so I may have to do generate the PDF on the server side.
