  1. 2 advantages of TOSlink over Digital Coax. smaller and more flexible made for easier routing through ducting for me. Not really prone to corrosion in moist environments.

  2. You got a lot of good jokes. The one that made me actually laugh audibly was "this website I found."

  3. Why should I fight you? You're already hurting yourself. My work here is done.

  4. They probably also got you a very low wattage stove/ oven. many of the crummy ones that you see in apartments don't really change via stat or something like that. Rather they're doing some kind of pulse modulation as near as I can tell. The stove in my present apartment kind of surges on and off rather than holding a steady temperature when you have it on a medium setting. This makes it really easy to burn something unless you have a thick pan to even out the surges. This seems to be common for crappy apartment stoves.

  5. One of the other commentators give a fairly complete answer. I would add to it that most of the flavor notes I like come off early. some of the compounds and coffee particularly the acids are water soluble and come out and higher levels with the longer soak. others are oils which are basically heated to the point that they become runny enough to fall out. The oils tend to have the flavors I like more as well as small particulate. The longer you let it soak the more acidic and sour it gets. There are bitter notes in the early and the long soak components so bitter is semi-independent from time. But sour is definitely a positive correlation to time soaking.

  6. I've never had a gripe against them I like them for work lights and I like some LEDs for that purpose. Both are less inclined to be damaged by shock than an incandescent. Generally speaking they put out more brightness per wattage and per heat which is nice. My perception and I'm not sure this is correct is the LEDs are safer around volatile fumes. But perhaps the little transformation pack that converts the electrical signal is a spark hazard... My complaint is actually the new formats of the double prong locking light fixtures which are used in many apartments. The design is to force you to not use incorrect bulbs. So far so good. The problem is they're based around this stupid wattage equivalence theory. Like each of these things is supposedly equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent. And they aren't. but worse they are forcing you to use something that isn't as good as the Volvo you didn't want to use because it wasn't good enough in the first place. I don't want to replace a 60 watt or 40 watt bulb to be the one of two light bulbs in my bedroom or living room. I want something that's approximately equivalent to 160 watt incandescent bulb in actual light output. So to make a standard based on forcing me to use a 14 watt CFL or a 14 watt LED to replace a 40 watt bulb that should have been 160 watt bulb is madness. They wanted me to use more efficient lighting, great. I want that too. I just happened to want brighter nice color temperature more efficient lighting. That is well within our technology. I don't want a 14 watt LED I want approximately a 40 watt LED.

  7. Off road vehicles would need to ignore your dead man switch. Weight bounces in and of the sensor even at very low speeds. They are also less well suited to steer and shift by wire.

  8. I'm curious if you like the channel machine thinking. It seems like you guys are interested in similar things and slightly different presentation styles.

  9. Did something happen to the engineer guy?

  10. From an evidentiary standpoint fire investigation and criminal profiling are very problematic. They have reproducibility levels on par with phrenology. Worse, they both tend to base life altering conclusions on a process that amounts to: step 1 form an opinion. Step 2 look for evidence that appears to support the opinion. Step 3 announce conclusion. Step 4. Take credit for hits. Ignore misses. Get publicity. Get funding. Teach in a seminar, and produce certification for others. They both are abysmally inaccurate, and fail audits of every kind.

  11. I was already a fan of aging wheels. However I was having a very hard time telling where I knew him from. Context matters for memory of faces too.

  12. I'd like to see Cameron from the tech of tech respond to this. He's obviously an old musky fanboy but he also likes innovation wherever it is.

  13. How many of these has Destin Sandlin bought?

  14. I still get used for a handful of carbon copy forms, and certain government forms that are a giant pain in the butt to import into acrobat or similar. There's one in my law firm that the people who use it seem to genuinely enjoy for the novelty. It's an electric typewriter of course but I'm not sure which model.

  15. You really left out portable and semi-portable things that make torque. Amps make torque. It is really inconvenient to have our tooling limited to 120. so if you have something like a home drill press or latheyou find yourself really wishing you had the 240 version but you don't have enough 240 outlets. Same for welders but that probably falls under your portable things that make heat category. but basically any power tool that is working under a lot of load and you don't want to bog down is kind of handicapped. Shop vacs, floor polishers, belt sanders....

  17.  @Yora21  it made sense when if was developed. Scales were the most precise and accurate measuring tools available. Materials were sold by weight. Dimensions were fairly variable through a piece of material. Spot measuring a location would be inaccurate. Better to get a chunk that is big enough to minimize the effects of differences in rulers and put several of them together and average what you find on a scale. It gives you a better picture of the properties of the material as a whole, using the most precise tools that were available in the early industrial age, and even pre-industrial. Keep in mind most things are based on doing visual divisions halves thirds and so on. Which is the thing that humans can do a lot more precisely than you would think. See vernier effect. That's why a lot of old systems were base 12. Or 240 for the money, which also works with base 12. Everything is usually divisible by halves quarters and thirds. The cage system grew out of this method of thinking I have a known weight I can divide it and even number of times to come up with a diameter or a thickness of a given size of a plate or ball or rod. They did not have calipers or micrometers. But they did have scales.

  18. I think there's a very simple explanation for why they should make it look similar to the vfd. It's a part of a component system the other components probably have vfd and it should match.

  19. I knew about stochiometry, but had discounted pre-wash. I also knew I was buying water to get a convenient squirting dosage mechanism. I didn't know that I was giving up the function of either bleach or an enzyme. Thank you for persuading me to improve my buying and using habits with facts, logic, and testing.

  20. Very clever. He got me, and left me no room to feel that I could detect it.

  21. But none of that says that it will require me to install an app on my phone to control it. And can it print my customized logo on my toast for no reason? and how will I know that a Star wars movie came out several years ago If it's not brand linked to the Star wars movie? This ancient toaster solves none of those problems!
