It usually means that 300 people were involved in the project at different stages of its lifetime. It probably also includes the people involved in sourcing the material, tools, people, workspace, etc. That’s probably 20 people who likely never touched the final product. There likely was also some marketing and business people involved. They did probably put hands on the final product for a photo op.

I can’t answer all your questions, but I can assure you that you probably don’t have a suffiently large enough power service connection at your house to blast out a powerful enough signal to do much damage.

If you did use all available power at your address, it would take almost no time to locate the person blasting out a massive “it’s me!” signal over the radio waves. Much like if you used all the power at your address to blast out an incredibly loud sonar signal, people will notice pretty quickly. Also, the massive antenna or radar dish/dome (much like the massive speakers) would give you away visually.

With the plug in models that’s about the biggest you’ll find. Full range cook tops will offer larger diameters.

If you’re searing or pan frying, then a 12 in might have some cold spots towards the edge, depends on the quality of the pan. A 10 in or less should be fine as long as the pan is decent quality. For something like deep frying, stewing, boiling, etc the size won’t matter so much.

Get a decent counter top induction plate. Don’t get a fancy one, because they are all limited to the same power. So get one that has the basic features you might want to try. Also try to get one with a reasonable size heating zone.

Then get a good solid stainless steel or cast iron pan.

It won’t be quite the same power level as a full cook range, but it will show you how the heat can be managed. It will probably be able to boil water faster than gas, but not quite as fast as a modern electric. Try something that requiresgood heat control, like pancakes.

These induction plates are also just generally useful for doing stinky/messy things outside or adding another burner to the kitchen during big holiday or family events.

That’s still a smaller factor than how you feed it and store it.

There’s likely a sufficiently large number of organisms in both the levain and starter that as long as both are thoroughly mixed before sampling that there would no difference. The mixing means that you’d have an exceptionally small chance of getting a significant difference between sampling methods.

You will get larger differences based on how the microbes reproduce. So this means things like feeding schedule, storage temperature, water/flour ratio, etc will be what actually change the characteristics of the culture. The selection process that matters is how well different strains of microbes reproduce, which determines which microbes are more common in the culture. The way that they get moved between batches isn’t likely to have an effect.

That said, if you’re sampling from the levain after your first rise, then you will likely get a difference because those microbes reproduced under different conditions than the ones that may stick to a spoon. If you sample the levain right after the initial mixing of the dough (and there is no salt added yet), then there will be no significant difference.

Because people have rights, even felons.

Adding a VPN step would be a good choice too.

Won’t be long until she’s leading the newly created Ministry of Truth.

These seem like the kind of people who use spaces, not underscores, in their file names.

Some people want their Sci fic to be like Asimov all the time. From this point of view, I can see why they wouldn’t appreciate Weir.

I didn’t want to get into a discussion of vapor pressures, so I was just using those temperatures as stand-ins to get an idea of what temps would required. But you’re right, I probably should have used the sublimation temp.

Highly unlikely, the melting point of those materials is higher than most house fires. The boiling point would be even higher. Even then, the amount of beryllium in all of those gems combined wouldnt be enough to significantly impact the air quality.

I should have been more clear, they can no longer implement temporary injunctions. These were used by judges to stop further action while the case was proceeding in their court.

Once the trial has been conducted and the judge makes a decision, they can decide that a nationwide law is not valid and therefore stop it’s application everywhere.

I thought SCOTUS stopped nationwide injunctions. This sounds like a ruling.

A real simple fix would be ranked choice voting.

As an American, I think finding the dumbest of us would be hard given the amount of competition.

No because that state refers to bosons only.

Once the universe has expanded sufficiently, there will be no more reactions at all. Protons and electrons will be too far apart to interact. There maybe a few remnant pairs of neutrons and protons, but eventually even those will separate to distances where they won’t interact.

Isn’t this a bit like saying that NASA has Mars in its sights, not New Jersey? Sure there are more people in NJ, but arriving in NJ isn’t really an accomplishment. Likewise, being able to beat a piece of hardware that was out of date when it was first announced over a year ago (switch 2) obviously isn’t their goal. Additionally, Valve already has superior hardware and distribution, so they are clearly the competitor to beat.

My theory is that his PR people are “leaking” these stories that he can rebuild his image as a recovering addict. This will let them craft a sympathetic story and they will hope that we’ll forget that he’s a racist asshole.
