if you invert the flow of electrons, a receiver becomes a transmitter

Ehh not really. That's kind of like saying if you invert the flow of photons, your eyes work as flashlights.

"It could be possible with some changes" the changes would amount to removing the receiver and replacing it with a transmitter. In this specific case I'm not sure if a transmitter already exists at this antenna and it's definitely possible one does, but that's not a guarantee at all

"RTFM" My irritation is that most recipes make a huge amount of assumptions - at least as many as code that assumes a certain version of library. You can get recipes that say things as vague as "prepare the chicken" and aren't at all clear what they mean, unless you've seen someone do it first, but it's published in a book like you should just know. I hate that. I also frequently see quantities like "1 can" which just drives me insane as though that's a standard unit.

There's also plenty of cooking specific jargon, so densely packed that beginners might spend the majority of the recipe looking up what the terms mean. "Chop" parsley - how finely? "Mix the ingredients" how long? What the fuck is Golden Brown actually?

It only ever starts at 18% now

Just more nonsense showing how broken modern copyright is. It's too hard to write weasely legalese to just say you have the right to reproduce content submitted to your website, you have to own it entirely. And if you own it, why not sell it?

100% a man who bought it for a day out and didn't want it taking up space for the next decade with almost no usage

The mantle is between 500-4500K, meaning most of it is hot enough to glow at least a dull red.

You don't say lava is black because once it cools down it turns black...

I'm kind of surprised RED is still small enough and Nikon is still big enough for this to happen. In my mind I expected them to have a thousand+employees

Lmao idk if "most" even holds up in fiction. Even the "good" cops in fiction tend to perform illegal searches, abuse suspects, break the law in countless ways to get the bad guys. How many times have we seen the "good guys" stymied by their inability to search a home but one turns to the other and sarcastically says "oh I think I heard someone scream for help lol" kicks down the door?

Sometimes they have a conscience but I'd call very few fictional cops "good"

I'm not convinced many of the grips pictured actually work to pick things up with the chopsticks, much less grip something weighty with them

They're weight-limited rather than space-limited

I'm not one of the maniacs making threats of any kind, but honestly it really seems like death threats are the only thing that gets any attention anymore, so I can understand why it's done...

Is "eat the rich" not a death threat in its own right?

This is why I haaaate "today I learned" posts sourced from a cheesy interview. Some exaggerated or even sarcastic statement gets spun into absolute truth and it's pervasive
