Some devices have frustrating quirks. Occasionally because of a power outage or provider maintenance I need to reset my Roku stick. Sometimes the device sees both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz network, while at other times it sees only the 2.4GHz network. After some research, it seems that because the RF remote control isn’t…

It’s a V6...think about it. Some other brands favored the “DOHC 24V” nomenclature.

Yes, and it likewise gets a 4-star Chief of Staff, but not a separate civilian Secretary and department. But will it get representation on the Seal and Flag of the Joint Chiefs; the National Guard doesn’t, even though statutorily a member. Can the Chief can be appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs—it took 55 years…

Yes, I think the RAV4 and Freelander are the only ones that aren’t based on RWD architecture, although one or two weren’t sold with 2WD in the USA.

You need to repeat Chem 100. Negative pH is hard to measure accurately, but it is possible to have hydrogen ion activity/molarity > +1, which makes the pH<0.

I should point out that contamination of ground water by iron ores can occur undisturbed in situ as well; the former mine just allows the water to collect in a big pool. Marble and limestone pits aren’t always safe either, but they generally stay less alkaline than, say, laundry bleach; which is not good for you or…

I love how they now go to great lengths to remove “contaminants” from the car before it takes its plunge into a bath of almost certainly, and not necessarily weak, sulfuric acid (there’s an iron mine in CA with pH as low as -3.5, more than 3000x more acidic than a car battery) probably with a measurable concentration…

For an authentic experience, he should have busted into a spare sock reserved for the purpose (in the 80s and 90s, I worked in R&D for a Navy contractor and sometimes deployed for a few weeks on SSBNs and occasionally SSNs to monitor data collection from mounted instruments. Despite being kept busy the crew can get a…

Those legally-required stickers seem to refer solely to dealer warranty obligations, and not to manufacturer warranties. CPO cars have a manufacturer warranty which depends on the program, and late-model used cars may still have manufacturer new-car warranty remaining, depending on mileage and model year. Only on…

Well, it is now. They do have a river combat flotilla, but Montenegro got the other combatants after their 2006 divorce.

The shape is closer to a batard. It’s softer than a baguette because the diameter is larger, and ideally was made with Tipo 00 flour. The crust is thinner, softer and chewier because it is brushed with water before baking rather than steamed during baking. Frequently the bottom surface of the loaf is dusted with corn…

The ones I have received are marked as recyclable in the same way and places that plastic grocery bags are recyclable, e. g. Amazon-owned Whole Foods and most other grocery stores and many big box stores of other types. If they have paper labels, those do have to be removed, but in my experience they peel off with…

Once purchased a car in VA while living in MD and twice purchased cars in MD after moving to PA. VA dealer charged MD sales tax and remitted it to MD. VA dealers can do MD registration paperwork for new plates, but not for plate transfers, which is what I wanted. After agreeing that I would handle the plate transfer…

Drew, have you never been a hospital patient before? Usually a dietitian checks everyone’s meal order vs. their chart and doctor’s instructions and adjusts it for compliance and nutritive value. No cheat days for you! They also check your tray when it’s returned to see what you did and didn’t eat. Years ago, when I…

I’m sure you have a very different view of what’s stylish than I, given your snippy comments, but you might check Tom Bihn, a Seattle bag designer that’s probably closest in concept to the bag from the sadly-departed Trager Seattle that I’ve been using for more than a decade. Bihn bags and luggage can be pricey…

It’s a quite useful car for an active single person. If it didn’t have rear doors it might be close to perfect. And it’s priced the same as most of its competitors when comparably equipped.

Wow, did other people get colonoscopies without being sedated? By far the worst part is the 24 hr before, when you can’t eat anything, or drink anything but clear fluids and a quart of laxative to “clean out”.

And it’s also largely irrelevant to the subject. Wind affects the rate at which a material cools, but it cannot cool lower than the actual air temperature. “Wind chill” is based on human perception of temperature in moving air vs. still air. It’s an important consideration for outdoor dress and exposure times, but…

I’m a little tired of hearing that this is what the market “demands”. Everybody’s trying to chase 2/3 of buyers and mostly ignoring the other 1/3. Even with 70% of the US market wanting CUVs and trucks, the other 30% is larger than the German and South Korean domestic markets put together, which seems like an…

The Land Cruiser is a passenger vehicle and not subject to the 25% tariff. This is why, e. g., all of the first Transit Connects imported from Turkey were shipped to the US with rear seats and side glass installed, which for the cargo version were removed and replaced with steel panels at the port-of-entry. But there…
