  • My understanding is that current atomic clocks work on changing the state of whole atoms.

    Whereas this new method changes the state of part of the nucleus of an atom.

    Basically smaller is more precise. However given that current atomic clocks are one second out over something like a billion years I’ve no idea what benefit this extra preciseness will give us.

    We’ll probably start noticing really weird shit when we look at time that precisely. That’s generally what’s happened when we get into the quantum scale of things.




  • Did you read the recall? Again it says hood latch switch deformation.

    That may be part of the hood latch assembly but again at no point does it say that the latch not latching is the issue. Only the reporting of the latching state.

    You’re really rather pathetic and I’m certainly no fan of Tesla or Musk. A brief check of my previous posts would confirm this.

    As you’re obviously not very good at reading or understanding things then that fact probably did slip by you. You seem to be only capable of latching (you might not see what I did there being a bit dense) onto certain words without understanding the full issue.





  • The comments read like a lot of people don’t quite understand the issue.

    The bonnet (hood if you insist) latch may not warn a driver if it isn’t secured correctly. If it is secured correctly then it is fine. So it isn’t going to suddenly open.

    If the latch isn’t shut correctly and then the sensor doesn’t report this then the bonnet may open unexpectedly.

    If they can use a software update to correct the reporting then that’s it fixed.

    There’s no issue with the actual latching mechanism. It’s just the sensor for reporting the latching state.

    It may be that it currently works on a two value system. i.e a value for correctly latched and a value for not latched. If that’s the case and isn’t just not providing the second valve correctly then a simple software change to only use the latched value would fix this. As any other value or the absence of a value will report it at unlatched.




  • I have an ok machine and regularly use it.

    I know a guy who works in the industry supplying machines and another who is a commercial roster. Both say similar things.

    A good grinder and fresh beans are far more important. They both say the aeropress is an excellent way to brew and better than most cheaper espresso machines.

    My advice based on that would be. Keep using the aeropress but if you want an upgrade get a good burr grinder.

    That’s if your ultimate aim is making better coffee. If you just want to get better using a machine and have fun just pick one you like the look of and enjoy.

    The real answer is it depends how the diver is exerting force as he stands there and what force he has to overcome to jump forwards.

    If he’s using all his driving force through his legs just to stand there then when he jumps up he will go backwards.

    If he was casually standing there easily overcoming the push of the air already then he can jump into the pool just as normal.

    It’s the same as standing next to a swimming pool with different wind speeds. Small breeze = jump in ok. Hurricane = blown backwards.

    That’s assuming he wasn’t trying to jump off the back of the vehicle…




  • Yes but that might not matter. It may only be sticking because the fibers are wrapped tight around the plastic part and the screw creating a lock through that tension. Cut through all the fibers wrapping round the screw and plastic part half way across. So there are fibers running in the gap and out both sides. Then start pulling at them with pliers. Some should come out. They must be able to move within that join or it would have jammed up as soon as the fibers started to enter. Rather than wrapping them round and round and then stopping.

    Also unless you know exactly which plastic that ring is made from don’t try chemicals on it. As you’ve no idea of the damage it might do to it.
