Am highly interested to know who designed the IQ test cpu68 took, and how was it designed and qualified. How it differs from the IQ test for normal people ?

Hi. Done that; am there. Two years now since installed, have 5600W solar roof grid-tied system, no batteries. The good part, one more year to pay for the investment. The convincing factor for me was am skilled in electrics and electronics, have the guts to climb to the roof, wanting it for a long time, my roof is sloping south, have a trailer to go to the vendor and transport the equipment, and the adrenaline to calculate and install with no hurry everything alone by myself (3 days instead of half). There is other important financial factors ( incentives and source of funds, and bought at a price-valley cash and tax deductible. Incentives duration of 25 years and same longevity warranty and 100% export fares ! ! ) that made me decide doing it when I pushed everything together. Until today, the system has delivered 10175 KWh to the utility. Which is not production ! Production is dwelling consumption + delivery to the electric company, should be about twice but never did the figures. Sunny days, am 'exporting' ~30KWh. It is just $3 daily, but am happy. Never hired anyone to make a 'feasibility study' or a planner, or designer, or a lender, or an installer, or a transporter, or a electrician, or specialized expensive mounts and dozens of $9 screws, nor needed a city permit to do it. That is what makes it expensive. Feeding more and more mouths. Your 8 year estimate can be cut to a third done by yourself + friends + family. Respect to maintenance; it is zero with no batteries, and cheaper system too occupying no space. Swept snow a couple of times. Respect to uninterrupted supply in events of the utility, I don't give a peanut being an hour, or 5 with the utility 'down' Makes it more real life to have a backup gas heater for such events.

Hi all. Saw this, never seen before : Adults not creating new fat cells. Is it true ? Can anyone explain how adults get fatter ? Do the same cells since a youngster get bigger instead of adding 'new' ? 🤔 Edited, added :

Well, if it is, please delete. Or move to the humor section. Or change the name of the town... or block the icebergs from wandering that place...🥵 ---> https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/giant-phallus-shaped-iceberg-floating-in-conception-bay-surprises-residents-of-dildo-canada

Greetings. If deserves moving to science news, well, go ahead. Seems rosy. Perhaps too rosy. Any opinions for the inconvenient sides if any; of hurdles against ? Aimed mostly to large scale storage (which is not wrong at all) , at least for now. I understand the manufacturing/production started already. 🤨 A link, just a link ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHNELRnJ_4Y There should be others, better or worse.

Well, 'American' is conflictive. As America is a continent, not this country. The U.S. is in America, but it is not it. And not the only united states either. And in the past, There is an interesting article about it ---> https://djaunter.com/american-demonym/ Perhaps am peeing out of the can, and the term am after is more a toponym for U.S. 🤔 Or even another term I ignore, like : --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An oeconym, also econym,[1] or oikonym (from Greek: οἶκος, oîkos, 'house, dwelling' and ὄνυμα, ónuma, 'name') is a specific type of toponym that designates a proper name of a house or any other residential building, and in the broader sense, the term also refers to the proper name of any inhabited settlement, like village, town or city.[2][3][4] Within the toponomastic classification, main types of oeconyms (econyms, oikonyms) are: astionyms (proper names of towns or cities),[5] and comonyms (proper names of villages).[6]

Thanks. No, 'domain' does not click... Another example: For Spain, a person demonym is 'spaniard'. an object/thing can be 'spanish castle'

Thanks. Foursquare does not ring, but seems you understand the question. The word am looking for is mostly a demonym for United States. A demonym name for 'an item from a particular place' (U.S.) attributed to or used by some Canadians. Demonym implies a person -I think-. What would be instead, a 'demonym' for an object ?

The fresh smell of grass is matter of tastes. Your brilliant idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTPHsouuGq4 carries an expensive liability insurance. When I attemped a similar to stop ducks in shrimp farm ponds, no laser manufacturer came with anything.

The only thing they care about is to wring your wallet, not to provide performing equipment. The day they put user replaceable non-proprietary batteries on a mower, then I will buy. My cordless weeder batteries did not last even 100 charges. 😡

Naaaahhhh... To become a multi-millionaire, design a GMO grass that does not grow over 2 inches, forget about the mower...

Hello all. It works, satisfactorily, but the engine seems running roughly, and decided to investigate. The way it works is with a thermal choke fully applied when cold (bimetal spiral) heated by the exhaust opening the choke gradually. That operates fine from cold to hot, fully closed butterfly to fully open in a couple of minutes. No manual choke, no priming bulb, no manual speed control. But noticed than in the middle of the transition, there is a point where the choke butterfly wildly and widely closes and opens, like synchronized to every air intake pulse, like actuated by the air flow and not by the thermal bimetal. Looking at clues from web forums and youtuber geniuses, they guess one thing after the other until sort of make them work. The choke butterfly is asymmetrical, for too much suction, air flow pushes its larger 'half' in to force open. None of the repair experts mentioned that behavior. What would you do / opinion ? -images borrowed from the web-

moral free market moral free market is the way I always knew it, moral free market, is it possible ?

Thanks ! It has to be your peppered moth larvae. Identical. My camera was at its limits, my photography skills too. Noticed it uses a 'life line' attaching its raised end to somewhere with an ultrafine filament as spiders do.

Hi a Red bud tree (Cercis canadensis), see the small branch growing 'northeast' in the center of the image ? Well, it is not a branch. It is a worm. Hyper identical color an appearance to the branches, walking like an 'inchworm' Never seen that model. Has to be a 2023.

We know which will have the other for breakfast...

Hi. Please no not merge to a similar thread. A laser beam travels trough air, enters glass, then a rhodamine+ dye, changing its green wavelength to yellow : If the dye is a thin layer, should the green beam pass trough it as yellow ? Or, if the dye is 'sandwiched' between glass 'slides' , would it exit the second glass as yellow ? Will it be coherent and monochromatic ?

Good day. What is the name(s) of crystals that divide or multiply the wavelength on incident light, and light exits them at doubled (or halved) wavelength ? Any examples beyond DPSS lasers ?

Thanks. Yes, recent move to outdoors and watered during some very sunny days, other days bordering freeze temperatures and very windy. Tips of branches showing little new growth since the problem surfaced.

Hi all. One of those things partially in retina, unable to remember ... Once in a documentary of perhaps 30 years ago, heard the term Canadians use or used to refer to a U.S. dwelling, -read 'American'- style of houses, or type of construction, or some building process, or particular shape, or characteristic... Never heard that word before nor after. Cannot remember 🤔 Any clues please ? It is not necesarily a despective or favorable word, and not a common used word either but seemed genuine. Like replacing the word 'American' in the phrase "American house" from Canadian slang -or not slang- ! term.

What happens when a priest becomes pope obtaining infallibility ? Was fallible before elected ? If retires and quits, becomes fallible again ?

Good day. My pomegranate tree is 2 year new, about 2m tall in a drained 20 litre bucket outdoors now. Shows pale portions on most of leaves. Anyone familiar with a cause ?

Hi. I have NO router, no WiFi at home. My 'smart' phone does have that feature which is not enabled now, I never use or need it... Once I enabled such and printed a document from my phone direct to my WiFi printer. What is the correct term for that connection ? Words like peer-to-peer ; ad-hoc ? something else ? Stores sell a WiFi door-bell camera with intercom that can use a 'smart' phone to see who is at the door and even dialog with. What should I look for in the specifications/instructions terminology wording to know if its WiFi connection is direct door-bell-to-phone or needs a router at home ?

Hi. Am the flag bearer of computer idiots. Can hardly find how to explain what I want : A device with a RS485 connection is plugged to an USB port on my Linux laptop using an adapter : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is there a standard generic set of instructions for RS485 communication that I need to have/load in the laptop to ask/command/get/interact/obtain reports ? I do not know how to interrogate the device to obtain its data. Is a 'special' set of commands needed ? Typed on some sort of 'terminal mode' console at the laptop ? The device is supposed to report Volts, Watts, Amperes, temperature, time,... This has nothing to do with internet, WiFi, servers... it is wired RS485 port to USB port, period. Yes, am that dumb, and need it guided/explained accordingly.

Good day. What single crop could be cultivated to provide humanity an emergency substantial and reasonably balanced diet by itself, as if critical climate changes prevented variety of foods to be produced some day ? Some root, tuber, grain, legumes, leaves, beans... ?
