I saw the video; I have questions. The electrolyzer looks like it splits water into oxygen and hydrogen. How long does that take? How much electricity will you use to split it? (I can do the calculations to determine it; just want to point it out) How can you compress the gas without a compressor? Feels like it is trying to fly in the face of thermodynamics. Yes, gasses are just thinner fl

QuoteMrNoBody QuotepRICE cUBE Wonder how many cars were totaled before the sign went up? Once saw a full size Ford MP patrol car that hit a small deer @ 30mph, total loss. Imagine the damage a 1/2 ton cow would cause. Engineered like no other car in the world... Guy I knew in high school hit a cow. It was a Volkswagen Bug; the cow shrugged it off and left the scene of the accident.

Re: F.U. Dang It!! I Finally Got An Email Explaining Why My MacBook Pro Is Delayed - 4 months ago

If I ordered today from Apple (which they have to if it is new), the delivery date would be about Mar 3-6 or so. If the machine had truly been back ordered in November you would have had it by now; either they didn’t order the machine and you were being played at that time, or you are continuing to be played. The discount you tried to get is available at other reputable places. Wait long enough

QuoteMichael I'm about as far from an expert as there is. But, I'm very familiar with running very big data sets that slow down pc's. I used to go to a computer lab at night and run different sets on a dozen machines at a time, moving back and forth among the computers. I had a much more powerful machine in my office that would run the sets but it was ultimately faster to go to the lab. Is the

What makes this difficult to determine are the following: 1. The manufacturer of the software I will be using doesn’t really say what the minimum specifications are for their software. Yeah, not real good nor real fun. When trying to see if the latest iteration would run on my current setup, the only thing I could tell is that some folks have trouble using it with Big Sur, and they could onl

Need advice on a M1 MBP - 4 months ago

On Jan 3 I had knee surgery--patellofemoral, not a total replacement. I'm doing well with that, and I get the medical staples out tomorrow. I'm tapering off the pain medications. Either I don't need them as much, or ... whatever. There is only so much television, so much gaming, so much mindless stuff one can do before the brain rebels. Either that, or goes completely asleep. Since it's easier

Re: How many of you have the Apple Card - 4 months ago

Yes, I have one. It has basically supplanted my other cards; there are some caveats however. Some places won’t take Apple Pay so I have to use the physical card, and I have had it declined, as in “well, I have to key in your number and since it doesn’t have numbers on it I can’t use it” because, of course, they don’t have scanners. I am looking for another place for those services.

As far as the billing information issue, I can’t help. I don’t know if this will help, but I’ve found several things about Wally’s site. This was discovered during various forays due to my mom having problems. She has had the car taken away as she’s scary behind the wheel.

Re: Mayfield, KY Candle Factory - 5 months ago

The northern border of the state is defined by the Ohio River and is relatively flat. The further east and the further south you go, the hillier it gets as you get into the western foothills of the Appalachian mountains. The water table in this region is relatively high as well, since you are essentially in river bottom. The combination of easily available water from both wells and the river, and

Re: the line between rest, recovery, and rehabilitation - 5 months ago

Ditto the MRI and the specialist. I have arthritis in my knees—a patellofemoral surgery has been scheduled and the recovery from that will take a while. Get it taken care of early, as any damage you may have done to it needs to be taken care of before other issues arise. Good luck.

Re: How to order watch band? - 5 months ago

The 44mm or 38mm or 45mm is a designation of the size of the watch, not the size of the wrist. I originally started with a 4 at 44mm (the larger one) and have since gone to the larger one in version 6, which is slightly bigger than the larger 4. Bands that fit my 4 will also fit the 6. What kind of band were you thinking of? The newest from Apple comes in different sizes for the wrist size as we

Re: Could numerous boosters make future Covid vaccines less effective? - 5 months ago

I’m with PeterB on this: if the virus mutates far enough away from the protein(s) that the body/immunization shots are using to identify the virus, then it is essentially a new virus from the position of the immune system. So we won’t see a reduced response so much as now the system is presented with something it hasn’t seen before and it takes time for the new immune response to manifest.

Re: How do they not capsize? - 5 months ago

A ship’s stability is dependent on several things, including it’s center of buoyancy (COB). An empty cargo ship will have a very low COB relative to other types of ships, as additional weight shifts the COB upward, particularly if the added weight is above the COB. As it rises, the ship becomes more unstable. Any force that causes the ship to move will also cause the ship’s COB to shift—f
