It makes me sad - most of them are fairly poor and so don't use much energy. I want those people to have the wealth to consume as much energy as me. (My city is also 100% renewable but since I live in the us we don't show near as well on the charts overall.
this is wrong and dangerious! Home brewing very well can cause methanol poinonings. It doesn't happen often because the process is complex enough to get settup that anyone likey talk to someone (or read a book) and get the simple process to avoid it (throw out the beginnigs of each batch since the harmful stuff comes first).
That is horrible. Conversations are most easy to start around weather, work, and family. (Travel, where you live, hobbies, and sport are most of the rest.)
bluGill: "how is your family" $another-guy: oh, still dead after that train crash.
or
bluGill : "what do you do for work" $another-girl: why are you asking? Do you have a problem with that?
... fun conversations indeed.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to communicate.
I don’t have a problem with those questions. I do have a problem with getting bored at social events by boring boilerplate conversation, and I shared my strategy for having interesting conversations.
I’m happy to debate you if you clearly state a viewpoint.
I have long said that static checkers get ten false positives. note that size of the code is not a consideration, it doesn't matter if it the four line 'hello world' or the 10 million line monster some of us work on, it is ten max false positive.
Yes, it is fairly common with some plastics. better plastics won't but there are a lot of different plastics with differt formulas (and many can be mixed)
> We don't have magic oil filters which last even 22k miles. You should be replacing them every 6 months / 6k miles, or 12 months / 12k miles depending on your risk tolerance (some people suggest even half my short interval).
We do - they are just a lot bigger.
You should replace the oil filter when it is no longer filtering. Replacing it early is a pure waste of money. Unfortunately the tests of do you need to change the oil filter is more expensive than just replacing the filter so just replace it before it can possibly be clogged is the right answer. Generally the manufactures recommendations are correct and you should follow what they say unless you have lab results that say otherwise.
Yeah, of course, but I am not aware of any regular car which comes stock with such filters.
The point was really that lasting 22k miles longer than stock would be an unrealistic improvement for a filter for a normal car.
> You should replace the oil filter when it is no longer filtering.
I was specifically referring to manufacturer recommendations. Of course they're conservative, they also have to account for engine wear.
And yes, you are right that ideally you'd test. Although testing the filter from what I've seen is destructive, and there's a nontrivial turnaround time.
I'd disagree that following manufacturer recommendations is a waste of money though. As you say, testing is _more_ expensive. Engine damage is even more expensive. Replacing the filter on schedule is the economical choice.
It might be strictly a waste of resources, but that's a separate concern.
That is why you mix in "Something So Feminine About A Mandolin" in once in a while. Or if you really insist on only very well known tunes "Cheese Burger in Paradise" should still count.
The vast majority of git users are using github as a central repository. There a a few other not github but serves the same purpose central repositories. Distributed sounds cool, but almost everybody wouldn't notice a thing if git was centralized.
Yup, I guess local commits when GitHub is offline (as it is frequently) is a decent improvement on a central subversion server if you are genuinely working offline or your scan server is as faliable as saas tends to be.
I used subversion for 10 years and don’t ever recall a problem when it was offline but the killed feature of GitHub - distributed source control - proved too complex
For the majority of development teams. Instead there’s a “main” which people fork, add a feature, then merge and delete the fork.
The optimum amount of fraud is non-zero only because detection is expensive as you get close to zero. Getting less fraud needs to always be in mind. When someone gets away with fraud others will try to copy it so anything that has happened before has a much higher value to detect.
But for fraud that hasn't happened yet don't worry about it and hope nobody figures out how to do it.
