I assume there's too much airflow to use a urea-based filter like adblue or something in a home stove.

Though, if you could get the stove exhaust to pass through some liquid anyway (like the bubbler in a bong, but larger), wouldn't that deal with particulates effectively?

When I was in school, all of my teachers referred to language listening exams (a tape is played, you have a sheet of questions to answer) as "aural" which mirrors calling the spoken exams "orals". Having not heard the word before, I could barely even tell the words apart when mentioned.

What amazon did to diapers.com is a very good example of burning money to kill a rival. Especially because they launched their campaign while trying to buy them.

From working on hardware with GPS-functionality tacked on before, I can suggest a simpler solution;

1: Find the GPS module, and look up its data sheet.

2: Spoof the data coming out of its IO ports. Cheap GNSS modules that spit out NMEA messages on a serial line are everywhere. (I guess because they're super cheap, and easy to integrate)

I don't think most of these restrictions apply if you're running in a VM anyway.

Plus, they don't think they want to break VM support, either on a personal or business level.

You forgot Alexa.com, for both the product and the name. (in mindshare at least)

So, when cheats are implemented as rootkits/VM hosts, will that be required for the anticheat too?

I think at that point, it's turtles all the way down.

> Laboratory-grade flooring: epoxy resin. Durable protection, withstand frequent pedestrian traffic. Slip resistance.

This can't be overstated. There's a lot of overlap between safety in labs, and safety in (especially professional) kitchens. Heck, there's more danger in kitchens with how familiar people are with processes, causing them to lower their guard.

The biggest parallels are probably the slip resistance, and the protective clothing. If you weren't aware, most chefwear is super easy to remove, has a hydrophobic coating, is not tight-fitting, usually layers over itself where it fastens, and often uses fasteners that are completely separate from the garment. (all of these examples are a result of me thinking about the dangers of scalding-hot fryer oil as in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOk2Akqb3CI)

I think lab coats and chef jackets are similar, but one targets corrosive liquids, and the other targets dangerously hot liquids.

TL;DR: get some labcoats, teflon pants, protective shoes, and eye protection for your kitchen.

> They inject something in the gums that removes sensitivity there so you feel nothing

I've never heard this called "freezing". I assume you're being injected with lidocaine, the dentist's non-psychoactive best friend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidocaine

This family of molecules is well known for causing numbness in motor and sensor nerves; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEI4qSrkPAs

Also, knowing why all of the power tools are pneumatic, rather than any other kind of power helps. They need to be small, and stay cooled well.

It was a ryanair flight. They know exactly how many people are going on their planes, because every unsold seat could be another €20 and someone looking for a return ticket.

> After 9-11 the chance that the interceptors are armed is probably 100%.

Why wouldn't they be? What else can they even do? Especially in the case that the radio is inoperable. Other than seeing what's happening, and reporting back.

I don't think you understand, friend. The airline market in Europe is like a whole different world of deregulated competition. For example: ryanair operates a scratch card gambling thing on all of their flights once they reach cruising altitude. Because this is considered similar to international waters, and Ireland's advantageous gambling laws can be observed. (as a result, they will do anything they can to fill seats. Planning to make up any loss on cheap tickets elsewhere. I'm talking bonkers shit, like flash sales on 99c tickets)

Assuming you don't get caught by every hidden charge along the way, an airplane ticket isn't going to cost you >$100, even if you spring for "business class".

I think insurance would make a better insurance policy in your case. (especially when the airline tries to rob you)

But what's the cost of the lottery ticket? Is it a certain amount work done? That's "proof of work". Is it an amount of the currency? That's "proof of stake", kinda.

I haven't heard of any cryptos that require you to risk your coins to mine. Sounds like a neat gimmick, but hard to implement.

Other than being a random untrusted USB device, is there any reason to not use the cheapest generic U2F device you can find?

I've been wanting to start using them for a while, but yubikeys are too expensive for me to get a bunch of.

> The difference is that anyone can stake.

Unless you're entering a pool, you need 32 ETH to stake.

I remember when that wasn't a lot.

> there are many ways of running a lottery that don't involve burning tons of electricity in the process

You need something to be the limiting factor on the amount that you can try to win such a lottery. With proof of work, it's electricity. (assuming everyone is about as efficient as each other) Early on, they talked about it being proportional to cpu-time. That has become more abstract since.

On Arduinos, it's actually "for (;;)", which surprised me.
