It’s harder to pronounce, and no-one can understand it.

Don’t get name brand either. https://www.thecubicle.com/ has good, cheap, reliable cubes.

My favourite book when I was young was The Way Things Work.
It might have a few outdated references, but it’s still really interesting stuff. The full adder section actually helped in the first year of my engineering degree.

• Knex kit
• Gyroscope
• Sliding puzzle
• Trapped rings puzzle (there are many variants)

This type of systems works really well for trains.

Australia tried that and got the excellent quote:
“The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia”

(Off topic)
What about a legal solution to a hardware bug?

I have ADHD. I’ve forgotten more hobbies than most people have heard of.

It looks like this story is very nuanced.

In South Australia, there is so much solar power that the wholesale electricity price frequently goes negative. I don’t know about Tasmania, but I expect the situation to be similar but less extreme. The energy company just can’t offer a lot of money for solar exports because too many people are exporting solar power at the same time.

We also don’t know how much energy he is using at night. If he’s using multiple megawatts overnight and exporting megawatts during the day, then his property is destabilising the grid by drawing power when supply is low, and sending power when supply is already high.

Alternatively (or additionally), the energy provider could be incompetent or trying to make as much profit as possible, but we can’t know without details.

I suspect that installing a large bank of batteries on site would fix these problems, but such a battery would be quite expensive.

The problem is that changing the name makes it much harder for people to find and collate evidence.

I use Shotcut. I only use basic features like cutting and stitching, but it’s never let me down.

If it was just a screen, general purpose processor, and customisable OS then I’d have one already.

I don’t feel like paying a monthly subscription fee for a product to lie to me every time I ask a question, and relay everything I do back to a company who will sell my personal data to anyone.

I love my Pebble watch and enjoy playing with new tech. If a company like Pebble can make one without the spyware, bloatware, and AI, then I’ll probably get one.

I’d be more concerned about the group responsible for more than 50% of violent crimes, but I guess we’re allowed to be scared of people playing sports too.

I understand that this is a joke, but people believing themselves to be superior is what got us into this mess.

If you want to remove both natives and immigrants, you’re just racist.

A toilet seat, according to Amazon.

Do you think you could make an automatic warranty claim for the door not being strong enough for standard use?

If your device is not quite strong enough, a small spring that’s too weak to open the door on its own could help.

If you access to the side, then a form of lever could provide mechanical advantage (just check what the fulcrum rests on or you might dent something).

If you aren’t concerned with reusability, dynamite is fairly effective at opening doors.
