It’s often used as the name for ammonium chloride on black licorice. The ammonium chloride also makes a great soldering iron tip cleaner!

I eat them all the time because I have a fucking problem, but I don’t enjoy it.
Aah, like salmiakki (salty licorice). Tastes terrible, but I just can’t stop eating them.
A thousand Roman paces. A pace is two steps, each about 1m, so 1mi is about 2km. The conversion from paces to meters isn’t exact, and definitions have shifted over time.
It’s the NIF. It’s a hydrogen bomb simulator, it’s not intended to become a power production mechanism. Roughly 0% of their budget involves researching how to turn single fusion explosions at most every few hours into continuous power output.
Scales great for getting around nuclear test ban treaties though, much quicker to retest than blowing up Pacific islands.
CPU doesn’t have any secure storage, so it can’t encrypt or authenticate comms to the TPM. The on-CPU fTPMs are the solution, the CPU then has the secure storage.
Lead(II,IV) Oxide (aka red lead) is sometimes used to color low-quality cinnamon to look better. Much like yellow led is sometimes used to color turmeric. Toxic, of course, but profitable!
Not directly, but they improve the low-power modes substantially, and using the low-power modes for longer times is the solution. Inverters aren’t strictly needed, but they do make it better.
I said nothing about safety. I just said it should be considered a different class of vehicle if it meets certain characteristics. SUTs are great for camping, for hauling surf boards & kayaks (possibly with a rack) and tow just as well as pickups. They don’t have a full-size bed, so they’re worse at most jobs, though the larger cab does mean they can carry more workers at once. It’s a trade-off: get worse at most work-related tasks, get better at personal tasks and thus reach a wider market.
In presidential systems like the US has legislation originates from congress. The President only has veto power over legislation, and controls the enforcement of existing legislation. They can’t force congress to create new legislation, though of course they can propose legislation (anyone can do that). This is very different from parliamentary systems where the Prime Minister is the head of the majority party of the parliament, and can thus directly propose legislation and get their party to support it.
At what point does it become ok to have an open bed?
When the distance from the back of the truck to the front of the bed is longer than the distance from the back of the cab to the front of the truck, it turns from a Sport Utility Truck into a Pickup Truck. Typically that’s around when the bed gets big enough to haul a sheet of plywood or drywall safely.
Of course it’s OK to have an SUT instead of a pickup truck, just not as useful for construction work.
To be extra pedantic, there are a lot of dash, hyphen, and minus characters, but critically no such thing as a “hyphen-dash”, just “hyphen-minus” or " dash".
Motorola Razr IIRC. First smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy S.
Probably red lead used to disguise low-quality cinnamon.
Mostly joking, but Farenheit is % hot outside.
0°F is 0% hot. Jacket, pants, boots, scarf, etc.
30°F is 30% hot. Shorts, but with boots & an unzipped jacket.
60°F is 60% hot. Shorts, short sleeves, & sandals.
80°F is 80% hot. AC recommended.
100°F is 100% hot. AC or you’ll melt.
120°F is Phoenix, Arizona, a city which should not exist and a temperature which should not exist.
Snowshoes & shorts are a classic combination.
I’m the same way. I’m happy with my life, overall, but of course there are improvements I could make. There is pleasure in achieving something long striven for, and there is displeasure in the striving. More money would achieve some of the things I want more quickly, but none are critical so the balance is better with a longer wait and lower stress.
Lol! All the historical booms and busts before we stopped using the gold standard apparently didn’t happen. Just a conspiracy by historians or something.
It was making them trans, not gay.
RF circuits are the same core principles filtered through black magic and the Laplace domain.
It tastes like death and I love it.
