Eternal is amazing bundles of fun and elation, jibbed and blended with lows of platforming and how-do-i-make-progress-here. The 3D arena style combat is a blast, though I'd love a KB/mouse. The glory kills for health and flamethrower for armour are a great combo and demand throwing oneself into...

That's a cello. Being played in the wrong part of the strings. Point: it's not small enough...

Unless there's any other coils of wire in close proximity, eg in the charging station, your phone, your credit card, etc.. Depending on the number of coils of each, the current flowing, the proximity and the core/coupling between them, the volt-amps trying to get out of the secondary might have...

Yeah, naa. Celsius here (hold-outs excepted) by the 80s at the latest. Parents used that exclusively when I was a nipper, though I'm sure they could handle F if needed. Besides who really needs more than "Bugger me, it's cold this mornin" or some such?

I found almost the opposite issue in Ireland. Trying to pronounce Siobhan was a challenge that I nearly got the hang of over several years, because it is almost a 'v', but not quite! Now I'm trying to learn Korean and finding that whoever produced or otherwise supported the accepted...

It's also called a cask in English.

I find your lack of imagination disturbing.

Yes, it's often overlooked, but ethics training is quite common to many fields. The problem is the same as driver's licence tests and a great many other measures. They check knowledge/ability, but can't effectively measure attitude.

They're waiting until the release of their new line of inkjets, because they'll be branded as... The Fresh Printerz of Dell Air

Oh, it definitely isn't stupidity. I had to buy a usb-c cable last week to support a monitor and power delivery. As I couldn't find any spec info on the standard cables from Belkin, let alone cheaper options, I bought their usb4 cable. It's the only one I can rely on to meet the requirements...

Deimos. Radius of about 6.3 km, put through 4/3 * pi * r^3 gives about 1,000 cubic km. Phobos has a mean radius of about 11 km, giving volume around 5,600 cubic km.

"It's difficult to comprehend what 1,000 cubic kilometers of rock would look like." Can try. Take the Hawaiian island of Kahoʻolawe (smallest of the 8 main islands). Park your boat a few hundred metres off shore. Now look up as the entire shoreline turns in to one continuous cliff that goes...

Yay, numbers! Thank you.

Well, by settling, Apple are maintaining high standards of privacy and data security (by avoiding discovery.)

See Your GP if symptoms persist. For a short few words, there's a lot of crazy in that sentence. All things old are new again, apparently.

Hey, my Linksys WRT1900 is a great router. Well, became great after I evicted the factory firmware for OpenWRT, turned the WiFi radios off and unscrewed the antennae, then added Ubiquiti and later Aerohive APs with a PoE switch. At some point I'm going to grandfather's axe it, but might just...

Yeah, about that carbon tetrachloride. It's only somewhat carcinogenic, but it is extremely toxic to the liver and kidneys. Worse is to come for those putting it in a fire extinguisher, however. While it seems like a good idea, as it is quite good at putting out fires, when mixed with air and...

I'm in the "unwind the transaction and pay back the creditors" camp. Practically everything beyond money flowing into FTX from "investors" was fraudulent. The share buy-back was for both sides knowingly fraudulent and extortion to boot. Hold them all upside down (legally) until sufficient...

Seems legit. It worked for the greatest American hero, so with 40 years of learnings and an instruction manual, I'm sure Sam can work it out.

At first glance, yes. However gas is very light and is substantially affected by the solar wind and by pressure gradients, and is not fully orbital (Keplerian). So the paths of dust grains and gas molecules intersect, which creates head-, cross- and potentially tailwinds.
