If its not in the middle east it's just a sparkling police action.

RC Cola, this is your moment to shine.

All software is more hacked together than we want to admit.

I can remember at least one incident when someone on the bus from SF to campus was actually watching porn on their laptop. IDK if they were torrenting it at home or at work, but there were many emails about not streaming content on the shuttle bus WiFi.


hydroxyapatite is a mineral like your tooth, that's how it supports remineralization.

It's actually great stuff and works wonders for tooth sensitivity above and beyond fluoride shellac. I also order it from the more civilized world.

BioMin is available in the US and is similar, but I don't find it works better and I don't like that it doesn't have fluoride. (I live in an area without fluoride in the water)


Biomin F does have fluoride, but you need to import it.


Have we learned nothing from Cambridge Analytica?


We learned not to publish as much information about contracts and to have huge networks of third party data sharing so that any actually concerning ones get buried in noise.


A Santoku or other knife with scalloped sides do well. There are also in fact, cheese knifes, for cutting and serving that are popular for self service cheese boards. Wire is also popular for cutting large block cheeses.


The current recommended cutoff is 45 (well, pre the current US administration). So I think it was a question of we tested this at the time in these high risk age groups and we were still waiting on the results for other cohorts that were less important.


If you have time based billing you can also input that into the system and it's even more effective. For example, if you tell it that electricity is cheap from 9am - 5pm (peak solar) and expensive from 5pm - 9pm (peak residential demand) it will take your trending consumption and decide when your solar production isn't keeping up with foretasted demand and let you charge from the grid to at the cheap rate to make up the shortfall and minimize cost. It even factors in things like grid charging speed and total site usage limits, which are great given my 100amp panel.


The charging the battery from the grid on its own is interesting in spaces where the TOU between 4-7pm (or whatever yours is locally).

Here it is more than 3x, so if I can charge a battery and run off of that for those 3 hours, I am saving money.

And it's not that I can lose money, a charge in the battery doesn't become stale.


Don't forget to account for the additional battery wear from extra charging and discharging. However your cost saving probably exceeds the wear cost.


> The professional bakers around me who do a dozen cakes a day or whatnot are all pre-made mixes, maybe some small modifications to the mix, and from-scratch frostings. I'm not sure I could even find a local spot with cakes made from scratch - at least in the traditional sense. The spots making 200 cakes a day perhaps, but those are going to look a lot more like the mixes you buy from Sysco or whatnot.

95% of bakeries are using a box mix and a packet of jello pudding. That's the secret.
