I will not give up my Jiffy Pop when camping!

Is the very thin paper used in constructing corrugated cardboard that strong compared to aluminum foil? I don't have the answer to that, but it does tell us that very thin, relatively weak materials can be used to construct much stronger things, and we shouldn't casually compare the underlying materials with the finished product.

I always had a muLinux disk handy in my computer toolbox. Most of its shell commands came from a simple script ingeniously written by the distro's author. It's been around since the mid-90s, I'd guess.

Just so you know, the original Ford Maverick started out at just under $2,000 in 1970.

I would wager that the land was lower than the sea back then.

The article is chiefly about a radio circuit you can "build", plus some controller software that happens to run on an Android phone. Meanwhile the headline is 100% focused on describing something that your phone can be made to do (which you have admitted that it can't).

The two don't add up, and your apologetic analysis doesn't convince me otherwise. It's still clickbait. An Android cell phone has radio guts, and that headline is just gutless.

This doesn't turn your phone into a ham transceiver at all. It turns your phone into a transceiver controller. Given that a cell phone is a transceiver, this headline is rather disappointing clickbait.

It's a little (or maybe a lot) different, given the added dimension of clashing (international) cultures and the resulting management perceptions. In some ways, it's the opposite side of the spectrum from those European countries that established their business operations in the USA in the '80s and '90s with far greater benefits and relaxed working schedules than the typical US corporate policies of the era. SAP comes to mind as an example.

The pepper grinders at the gift shoppe at Seattle's Space Needle are terrible. Someone like this designer needs to make a GOOD Space Needle pepper grinder with a good (Peugeot) mechanism!

(I recall a sombrero-roofed observation tower at the I-95 South of the Border rest stop/tourist trap in South Carolina called the Spice Needle)

I did exactly that as well. I wanted to figure out what a synthesizer does/is, so I bought a MicroBrute and had a great deal of fun with it.

So much fun, in fact, that I bought a MatrixBrute not terribly long afterward. Now _that's_ a monosynth to last me a lifetime!

Yeah, OK, it did say that. But the reasoning behind this rather complex scenario (i.e., the process) is left up to us to figure out. "The thing came in here, sucked out all the juice, and then left a while later leaving just the crust behind, like an old chewed out tennis ball."

"Stojkovic and his colleague, De-Chang Dai of National Dong Hwa University and Case Western Reserve University, also suggest looking for PBH evidence in celestial bodies with surprisingly low masses. They posit that if a PBH shot through a body such as a planet, moon, or asteroid with a liquid core, it might get trapped inside and vacuum up its center, hollowing it out until an external impact dislodged it."

Please explain how this phenomenon would lessen a celestial body's mass?

Diverging slightly from the topic, Palm (the Palm Pilot company) at one point had a market cap higher than all US airlines combined.

A big externality is time-savings, and can be calculated.
