Not that I think anything Facebook does is good, but doesn’t this just make sense? They’re not required to provide ad space to anyone, so why would they provide it to people who want to harm their business? If I was the evil CEO of an evil corporation, I would do the same.
Some definitely won’t let you use them if they’re not connected.
Most carbon fiber you might see in the world is sealed with resin. But under that resin, it’s just sheets of woven or non-carbon fiber fabric. And those fibers are just nanometers thick and can easily puncture cell walls the same way as asbestos.
There are bioplastics that are actually compostable and biodegradable, and I’m sure with enough research we could develop others with better properties.
But why would we research a way to make the world a better place when we can just pull oil out of the ground and burn it and make forever chemicals out of it instead?
Teflon itself is technically “fine” if you ignore that it’s a forever chemical on its own. The chemicals used in the manufacturing, and the chemicals used to make a notoriously non-stick material stick to things are the big issues.
But like the other commenter said, even Teflon, despite its hydrophobic and non-stick properties, eventually wears out and spreads micro particles everywhere.
But it’s a dry heat!
“Ninja rocks” is what they called the broken ceramic bits from spark plugs because you can throw a handful of them at a window, and it damages the glass without breaking it. When you do break the glass by hitting it after, it shatters more quietly.
Why would you thermite the fuel tank? A pile the size of a quarter will burn through an entire engine block and some of the pavement under it.
Street Fighter is terrible, but Raul Julia’s performance is actually great.
This is not a “system,” it’s a PSA campaign. These aren’t installed anywhere, they were just put there to make the ads.
Those plastic things are just for show, as part of the campaign, which is why the drivers seem surprised that they’re there. They’re not actually installed on any roads. But having them pop up as the car approaches if there’s a pedestrian on the corner makes it obvious that the car needs to stop.
A car on the tracks can cause the train to derail, potentially killing many people.
It’s a 1 in 4 chance of guessing both right. With odds like those, she should be playing the lottery.
The previous Mayor of Montreal, who ran for Projet Montréal campaigned partly on expanding bike lanes and followed through on several major bike lane projects.
I don’t know the history of this specific bike lane, but I know it’s a small street that normally doesn’t get a ton of traffic. It’s a perfect street to host a bike lane, but it’s a somewhat upper-class neighborhood and the residents want their street parking, and bikes are for the poor.
OLED monitors typically have burn-in prevention and repair features built-in. They sometimes have a mode where the brightness can fade in and out depending on their use or one where pixels are triggered on and off repeatedly to help reverse existing burn-in.
Extending subway tunnels by 41 miles would cost many, many billions.
The problem is that people don’t see public transit as a public service, and instead see it as a source of revenue, which is crazy. You don’t build public infrastructure expecting direct monetary returns on the investment. The returns are indirect, but they are there.
Having two locks including a proper deadbolt with a decent type of key. You want a deadbolt that goes deep into the door frame, not a cheap one that barely hits the strike plate. That and locking windows with window film will keep most people out.
Nothing will keep someone out who really wants to get in. You just need to make the hassle greater than their desire to get in.
Reverse image search goes a long way.
