Older article, but AFAIK lead acid battery tech hasn't changed too much in the intervening years: https://www.upsbatterycenter.com/blog/battery-desulfation/ The takeaways: 1) A conventional charging cycle won't revive a sulfated battery. You may get a temporary charge into it but it won't hold. 2) A...
It's kinda weird reading about techies baking and cooking stuff. Don't you lament the time lost in these activities that could otherwise be used for more tech-related hobbies? And if you are doing the kitchen stuff, what do your wives/gfs do? Wash the dishes? Proof positive that you're an AI. You c...
@ludi Plain car batteries. The immediate one I want it for is basic lead-acid. No need to add water. It's currently very depleted. 5V unloaded, 3V connected in the car (alarm system?). A conventional 12V lead acid battery depleted below 10-ish volts for any length of time is guaranteed dead. A deep...
Kind of hard to know what the question is asking. Is this a traditional lead acid battery? If so, is it a sealed type, or vented? Is it for a vehicle application, a solar application, something else? Are you trying to store it between use seasons? Is the storage area being kept in a reasonable tempe...
You can get that by eating a jar of expired mayonaise. Nope. Neprinol clears out excess accumulated fibrin from the body. Only side effect, if taken too much, is thinning of blood and interference with blood clotting. But it states that clearly on the label and no one in their right mind should tak...
Both you and JBI don't understand the misery of someone on a low budget whose everything is on his hdd and suddenly their world goes dark and they are able to do nothing. Hddregen saves them. I ran that by the editor. She says it has promise but you really need to work in something about vampires i...
Was letting YouTube randomly pick 90s alternative tracks last night and what comes up but Candlebox, "Far Behind." I had completely forgotten that one from old FM radio days.
That is pretty. Didn't spend much time in video arcades growing up, but have many memories of Pac-Man consoles and tables everywhere, even in the lobbies of restaurants. All of that massive panel artwork is a lost experience these days.
It's a shame that an entity entrusted with public health is not collecting blood type information. Maybe talk to your friends about fixing that? The US is still behind in getting a simple SARS-CoV-2 testing panel online in the volumes required to do actual contact tracing. It's unlikely they'll be ...
Those Q96xx's are actually still useful for lightweight machines, but only if you have a fairly good graphics card to install and don't otherwise have to put much money into it.
We simply don't have enough ventilators to do the strategy you propose. Keeping the death rate at 1% requires the 5% of patients that come in to go into ICU care / ventilator support. What part of this are you not understanding? Isolate the high-risk population and the hospitalization/ventilator cu...
Why must these people all be tested? I don't get it. You feel sick with flu-like symptoms, go quarantine yourself. If you don't get better, go to the doctor. What's the fascination with testing? So far, the best way to get the country reopened is to figure out who has it, symptomatic or not, and th...
How much longer before you're ready for an R5 ? Looooonnngggg time, unless my YT frippery suddenly takes off and I start actually making money with the equipment. $1.8k+ for just the camera body...that's less than $1k shy of my TOTAL Canon investment six years ago (mostly second-hand equipment) whe...
Well, the G7 arrived in good working order and I've had some time to play. The one thing that's desperately missing is the in-body stabilization which the Olympus E-Mx series all have, and which was added in the Panasonic G85. One of my lenses is a Panasonic with MegaOIS (lens stabilization) so I'm ...
I'm falling back down the rabbit hole. Being stuck in and near the house for Reasons of COVID, our dine-out, driving, and other outside activities costs have decreased for a while, and cabin fever is setting in. So it makes sense to increase the hobbies/activities budget for the family. My own alloc...
Offical data aren't quite linear yet. A linear function would be reliably trendlining as some form y=nx, and you would see pretty much identical new caseload each day. For now I think there's still some sort of polynomial equation in there, albeit a fairly shallow one. Colorado's daily numbers (coun...
For anyone who lost track of the handy link many pages ago: COVID-19 Data Analysis by Blue Margin Looks like the US casetrend is still slightly exponential (and current news items have the peak occurring around mid-April): https://i.imgur.com/846pB3u.png As always, assume the Chinese data are unreli...
It's got to be the controller. I have a C930e and just verified that it shows up as a microphone entry under "audio devices" and a camera entry under "camera devices." Normally these Logitech USB webcams Just Work.
Back on topic, another one of those "days from 1k" normalized charts from the same source as noted n pages ago: https://i.imgur.com/Zs0OhzL.png The good news is that the US curve appears to be shifting linear the past few days, and given that testing rates have increased massively, the tre...
China has already stepped in to provide humanitarian aid and leadership for the areas of the world that are much less ready to deal with this pandemic than the U.S. Even the staunchest U.S. allies have commented about how strange it is for the U.S. president to have withdrawn rather than taking the...
Have you already tried manually forcing the framerate to a lower level and maybe a lower resolution as well? Nobody can use 60fps for most streaming connections, and 1080p isn't really necessary so long as the camera can be physically set to view all participants in the frame.
Should singular "unusual" deaths drive national policy? That's really what's being argued here. Is the US currently experiencing a death rate (slice & dice by population cohort as you may) that exceeds statistical norms by a statistically-significant number? That's the key question. I...
Still pondering and I haven't actually be back to look at it since it's dried to see how it looks now. Very disappointing. But, I am at the limits of my current skills, and this is the first time I've done this -- hence the limited skills -- so live and learn. We all start somewhere. At this point ...
Found out today that staff in SCL Health facilities are apparently not permitted to use face masks for routine care, even when working with known COVID infected patients. Supplies of PPE are thin, key items can't be reliably restocked, and the demand for much more serious cases is expected to rise r...
Add Colorado to shelter-in-place as of 6am Thursday. Caseload from yesterday's data dump is now at 1,086 for the state and the hospitalization rate is still hovering near the 10% mark with a 1-2% mortality.
