Automation meets ersatz automation

Monty Hall Problem, for those who know that name

Mobile phone radiation is non-ionising. There is no known mechanism for it giving you cancer. Regardless of mechanism there's ample research on the topic, and no sign of a link

Wordless instructions make the world a more equitable place by making everyone equally frustrated

A cheap nonstick pan will keel over even if you exclusively touch it with soft cotton gloves.

This is a standard way to draw geometric proofs, it's not at all unreasonable to assume straight lines and unrepresentative angles.

PS/2 does not have a key rollover limit

Simulink has a concept called Test Harnesses which are models that isolate individual blocks for testing. The tests themselves are then driven programmatically from MATLAB

There are a few PCB drones out there.

Most PCBs, even really cheap ones, are made from FR-4, which is a very robust fibreglass. It's would be a pretty decent choice for drone components in general.

Not drones, but Carl Bugeja on YouTube makes some fascinating machines almost entirely out of PCBs (although he uses a lot of flex PCBs, not just FR-4).

Wood didn't rot in the carboniferous era. It used to build up in dense layers that became our modern coal veins.

At some point microorganisms evolved to exploit that vast resource. Now coal can no longer generate naturally and we have to keep wood structures dry or painted lest they be reclaimed by the Eafth.

I don't know if there's any reason it couldn't happen to plastics. We've created the niche already, how long until something exploits it?

Everywhere near me has the anti-theft devices turned up on self checkouts to the point that traditional checkouts are both faster and require less human interaction.
