I thought that when used as a monopropellant, the subject of this article even though it isn’t stated explicitly, that the reaction was nearly 100%.

The products of hydrazine are N2 and H2. The “burning” of hydrazine isn’t where the polution comes in.

So, Makerbot changes the infill pattern from hex-cell to rectilinear and claim that increases the speed of their printer by 30%? Hex-cell is always going to be slower due to the high amount of path changes. Rectilinear infill will always be faster on any FDM printer.

Why the bloody hell would you want to breed MORE emu? They are fucking evil incarnate.

Jane: I heard you’re a member of the KKK. You are a despicable pig. I hope you die in a fire!

The real problem with eugenics and selective breeding is that you are by necessity limiting your gene pool and therefore genetic diversity. While you are able to breed for select desired traits you often also get traits that you don’t want.

I think that scratching can also be something of a reset switch for nerves near the skin surface. The nerves fire off for some reason that is usually below threshold. You then scratch, which provides a known stimulus that the body/brain can use to reset your threshold parameters. This helps to keep the skin sensors of…

Actually, I found that applying Lamasil to the cuticle daily for about a month and a half fixed it for me. I caught it fairly early (pinky nail size on big toe nail). Also used Whitch Hazel on whole nail about 2-3 times a day.

Lets please have a follow up article on:

I feel that I have to add a third “must know” rule: (and really it should be the first rule).

Drobo 5D- Thunderbolt and USB3 with easy RAID fault tolerance and hot swappable drives. I don’t need NAS but I do video and game production so large, safe, fast data storage was on the menu. Drobo has delivered.

I have one of the 110V HF welders and they are ok for joining mild steel, but expect spatter and the welds to look like crap. They are no good for aluminium.

Except that the original premise, that computers are good at translation, is actually false. They do an adequate job for some tourist on the street asking for directions. But they fail massively at subtlety, and native idiom.

Actually it only fair to say that the current level of AI is equivalent to a single ant. Current neurological system emulation is maybe up to a mouse brain in complexity but at about 1/100th real time. Organic neurons are not transistors. They are far more complex, efficient, and subtle.

That’s funny. I read the same prediction in a science mag - in the 1980’s. And that article was stating that computer scientists were saying that AI was only twenty years out - in the 1950’s.

I use Firefox for most sites, but I use Safari for those few sites that Firefox (with flash and Adblock) craps out on such as YouTube.

Any hints on how to fix Safari?

I have the Playboy Cover to Cover 1950s digital magazines from Bondi but it’s gone to crap. They haven’t updated their DRMed version of the PDF viewer for the files for years so the disks are now unreadable. There were a hell of a lot of ground breaking articles and fiction in Playboy in the fifties (60s, 70s and 80s…

I don’t normally respond to trolls, but what the hell.
