That tension between the skin and the center are probably what give it strength. Annealing it would make it less prone to shatter so violently, but would also make it break easier.

Check out prince rupert drops for another example of this.

It also could be inflated due to winnings being put back into another bet. A single dollar could be accounted for multiple times if used in multiple bets.

Not that I am saying that this number is ok, gambling is a net negative on any society.

> But it was easy to prove warfarin was safe: a pest control officer held a series of local meetings where he ate warfarin-treated rolled oats while discussing rat control.

Got to love those live demos. Eating rat poison in front of the audience to prove it is safe!

I'm guessing you have never driven though Nevada.

I think it is a bus maybe? I can see out a window over some seats, and the overhead compartments don't really look like ones i've seen before.

That being said, that is absolutely amazing they brought a wii where ever they were going to write and debug this while traveling! That is dedication!

EDIT: nvm, there are multiple pictures of them traveling. First one looks bus like, second one look like an airplane.

Yep! I have a small setup with just some used food grade pickle buckets, and have been growing greens and things for a bit over a year. Going to get some more and expand them this year. It literally uses no power as pumps are not used, and water usage is very minimal. I live in the desert so low water usage is very important.

It's an interesting hobby, as you have to adapt it to the area you live, and where you grow the plants.

> Now they have a whole suite of successful products.

Like what? Do they have anything that actually brings in income other than advertising?

SpaceX also is Twitter(X), and Xai. So they already have several products that are loosing them money. Not sure what else they have in the pipeline other then ai data centers in space.

This seems fairly interesting. However I can’t find a link to the original 30 papers?

The link on the repo takes me to some site that wants me to “compile” papers for some reason.

Edit: nvm I found them hidden lower in the read me with a link to a different document.

I’m another happy customer. I use them to backup all of my wife’s work, and all of our personal files and pictures.

I recommend them to everyone who asks me about backups.

The utter simplicity of just having ssh and zfs as a service is killer! I can connect anything I want to it to back however I like.

And it just works.

I’ve been told that too. But I’ve done self pay for the last year, and every time I go to the hospital they instantly give me a 30% discount.

That makes me think they are artificially inflating prices so that when the insurance company negotiats their discount, well, it might be the same as what I pay

whoa.

> Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors.

How is that even allowed?
