Originally Fahrenheit was based on a salty brine solution, it was rebased it to water only sometime after his death. Do the phase changes of that brine scale exactly the same as plain water with atmospheric pressure? I am not a scientist so please elaborate and educate me, since I honestly don't know.
People generally hate change, it doesn't matter what the motives are. This seems like a logical step, although personally I think the tall skinny format brought about entirely due to phones is horrendous in general. Unless it is viewed on a phone it is painful, count me as another that hates change right there, just in a slight tangent to the original topic.
The scale was based on how humans perceive temperature, 32 may be the freezing point of water but it is not the temp that is intolerable outside in winter. That was determined and set to 0, as well 100 unbearably hot. You know what, those extreme outdoor temps are STILL around the limits of human suffering. For humans and weather it is a perfect scale. Sure metric is great for everything else, but not really for a weather report. Does anyone really like dealing with decimal points for simple weather forcasts?
Anyone that went to a competent school in modern times should know that number is way off. Read the chart's fine print. It's also a sign of how ridiculously mind numbing economics numbers have become. How do you mentally imagine 20 trillion of anything?
Micron has ramped up its operating margin to as high as 50% so far in 2018 compared to 20% at the end of 2016
With that kind of profit taking, the fines and penalties would have to account for almost half their sales. For 2017 they exceeded $20 billion sales with gross revenue margin (profits) of $8 billion, those fines would have be near or above that to make them fear doing it again. It not called collusion, but it is. The problem is that dram companies are so entrenched it would take miracle new company with nothing to lose flooding the market to create price competition. As much as I don't trust china manufacturing, a new big player is needed that will upset the dram cartel.
If you don't stress test what you have how do know it will work? They use this 'day' to fix any issues now so they don't have unexpected ones at actual important times of the year.
Ok, now let us pretend they are keeping the scan data and tying it to your identity...
They know what you left with and what you returned with, now lets say you bought something out of state and returned home with it (the receipt is also in the scan), would you be ok with them (your state) using that knowledge to tax you the sales tax you did not report for that sale?
I wonder at what point people will say enough is enough, if at all?
Yes I realize someone could figure out a mass application exploit at any time now, but are there any actual active threats out there besides the mental scare tactics currently imparted by all the news outlets?
Trading data is currently hard because we all use different formats, we will all save money selling^H^H^Htrading your data in a single compatible format. We can make it open source so those poor smucks can help us make money on their data while providing free labor.
Now this is a bit off topic but the FDA should enforce a downsized package notification on the label for six months after they reduce the size of the contents. yea Orange Juice I am looking at you! 52 oz is NOT 59 oz which is NOT 64 oz. These new bottles are so obviously smaller. Help me boycott purchases of 52 oz orange juice. (and yes that is U.S. ounces, metric loonies need not apply)
It is more about product identification than extending the meaning of a word. Context is everything. What if you are allergic to coconuts? Then it should be absolutely clear this is not milk as it has always been known.
It is coconut milk, not dairy milk. They need to be specific, pure milk in the grocery store has always been cow milk, it should stay that way. Please see the 'ice cream' vs 'frozen dairy desert' arguments, I avoid the latter as it's not ice cream.
The problem is these 'alternatives' are usually inferior or completely different in almost every way and try to pawn themselves off as the real thing by using the same name, I accidentally bought soy based Parmesan cheese alternative and it was horrible, it was inedible, you didn't know this wasn't real by looking at the package unless you read the fine print or ingredients list (yea shame on me, but shame on them too). Clear labeling is important, and in this case milk should only be allowed to be on classic milk. They can include the term milk, but the predominant ingredient should be in the larger print with milk as a footnote.
I suspected this was the cause of most cases of ADHD for years, as you use these devices your brain is taught to never focus too long on one thing. As smart phones and computing devices grew in use so did cases of this learned behavior. In this case I do believe it is environment over heredity. Sadly it is something that appears hard to unlearn, but drugs are not the answer.
displaying Tom's likeness, from both Tom and the NFL before posting it on snappychat? The logos on that shirt are under copyright as well. Slippery slopes and all that good stuff.
My completely inept interpretation is that there was a devastating forest fire, precipitated by a years long drought, this created the charcoal. Now that the land is cleared by fire, plants that grow in the open field can now proliferate until the indigenous plant life grows back into a forest.
consistent volume across loud and quiet portions of movies
So much for dynamic range, isn't that what good speakers are supposed to provide?
With no messy audio cables to connect, you can have your Roku TV Wireless Speakers up and running in minutes. Just plug each speaker into a power outlet
So instead of having to connect two speaker cables, you get to connect not just one, but two power cables, oh which will require two outlets? Haha the jokes just write themselves. I bet it will soon be energy star approved as well:P
So all that money goes into components for two power supplies, two amplifiers, two remote controls, four bluetooth radios, and two microphones, what's left for the speakers?
Sounds a lot like stalking followed by harassment. It is simply amazing what people are willing to tolerate, even worse, most are oblivious it is happening to them.
Much cheaper perhaps, until they figure out how to move the gas taxes per gallon to electric car taxes per kilowatt (or just plain tax you by the mile when you renew auto registration). Having it per gallon made people at least try to get more efficient gas cars, per mile not so much.

68 deg F == 20 deg C
You mean there are places where this isn’t true?
Basing something on the melting and boiling points of water is a moving target as the atmospheric pressure changes. So yes.

Did you just completely ignore that sudden whooshing sound?
Yes I realize someone could figure out a mass application exploit at any time now, but are there any actual active threats out there besides the mental scare tactics currently imparted by all the news outlets?
All that sounds like it relies on an insecure web browser to break out onto your local lan. Doesn't that make it a web browser issue?
This is like if a dam breaks and floods a village, you blame the homes for not being water tight.
More likely will be snippets that download harmless sounding payload and execute.
Yea don't get in their way, if they're wearing metal cleats on pavement stand clear and be ready to laugh.
Our pyramid is built, it is no longer in our best interest to take your money. But don't worry, we are scouting the land to start a new pyramid.
