    So, any of you Britishes scanned your face for the interwebs yet?

    It’s never about kids it’s about control. . Benjamin Franklin once said: ``Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.''

    The Climate Change Thread

    I'm confident that they will figure this out; airplanes technology will adapt. Example: fighter jets. Since those always go above mach 1 speeds and create a sonic boom, they probably encounter constant turbulence.

    The Trump thread

    The White House press office went out of their way to release an official response less than 12 hours after the latest South Park episode aired. Dumbest thing they could do is acknowledge the show even aired. They go on to call it a 4th rate show but its important enough to warrant a statement...

    Accuracy of AI search overviews

    The AI overview usually does not like to make sense of my complex and niche queries. Instead, it opts for a more basic response that is related.

    The Black Friday retail con job

    Black Friday has been heavily nerfed. Probably a good thing. Notice how now it's Black November? Also on Amazon deals are randomly scattered throughout the year. I personally buy whatever I can used on ebay or amazon because I don't have much money and I enjoy the hunt.

    Air flow: It's all about fan thrust

    Testing how much air the fans can move through a window. This turns out to be considerably more than the air that goes through the fan itself, even if the flow is impeded by a bug screen.

    My search for a fan

    The next fan I try is a Pelonis 16 inch axial fan. https://us.pelonis.com/shop/fs40-19prd-16-inch-pedestal-fan-with-dc-motor/ It is energy efficient on level 12, top speed, at only 22 watts. In fact , I'll attach a graph of electricity usage at each of the 12 speeds. I cannot hear the...

    Why have supermarkets stopped opening 24 hours?

    Back in the 90s there was an arms race between fast food, convenience stores, and supermarkets to stay open later and later. McDonald's would announce they're extending their business hours by a few hours hoping to scoop up the customers of every other place that closed earlier. Then the others...

    Why have supermarkets stopped opening 24 hours?

    24 hour servicse is or was a luxury offered by big box stores because they can afford it. Smaller shops in small towns would have already been closed by sundown. Where I live on the southwestern fringes of a city, most stores would close in the evenings since a decade ago (when we moved here).
