It’s not an “if” detector, it’s a “how much” detector. It looks like it’s using the LED chamber to light the film in a consistent way, and then the phone camera measures the color change to quantify how much radiation it was exposed to.

Just… really research hard before you buy one. I’ve seen multiple stories of cats being injured or killed when safety features on a litter robot failed (or didn’t exist in the first place)


Aren’t we?


Right, what I was suggesting was that the fact that it makes sense both ways might have been the reason the inventor settled on that name, as opposed to ‘cabin logs’ or something else.


I’m curious whether that was intentional. The wiki article doesn’t give any background on the choice of name, so I’d say it’s entirely possible that the name is a play on Lincoln/linkin’.
It’s also super cool that they were invented by one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s sons! One biographer claimed that Frank’s middle name at birth was actually Lincoln and his mother changed it, so there’s a possibility of that being an inspiration for the name as well.
Great post, thanks!


Anybody that lives above other people and drops any heavy item on the floor intentionally is a dick, there’s no maybe involved here.
Even $1,000,000,001 is too much. I’d probably cap it somewhere closer to $10m, if we have to use money.


The main problem with the belly as a target in a self defense scenario is that it’s too slow. If you’re being attacked, you want to end the fight and escape as quickly as possible. Wounds to the belly kill via blood loss and sepsis, which takes at least several minutes during which the attacker can keep causing you damage.
The femoral artery in the inner thigh is what you want to aim for. Also, the tendons along the inner wrist are responsible for grip strength; if severed, that hand can’t hold anything. Take a good look at the anatomy of those areas and you’ll have a good start.
Your reaction times and agility from fencing will help you in a real fight, but the actual techniques not so much. Stick to slashing attacks, as stabbing can result in your blade getting stuck in or between bones.


It still falls back onto the driver, as they chose to start driving without everyone buckled in.


The word you’re looking for is ‘gleaning’; ‘gleaming’ is more like ‘shiny’.
I’ve always wondered, does the ear experience additional, unheard “loudness” when using ANC?


Absolutely! Biometrics are at best a username, not a password.


Doesn’t happen with spacecraft either, despite what Hollywood often depicts. In order to ‘stop’ in space, you actually have to generate thrust. The scary thing that can happen if you lose your engine in space isn’t getting stuck in one place, it’s smashing into your destination at full speed.


I don’t think the comment you’re replying to was referring to shit as in fecal matter, but rather shit as in unknown potentially toxic substances.

There’s actually a tricky spot for folks who get certain social services which are tied to income. A small raise can bump you out of eligibility for things like medicaid and food stamps, and thus can in fact result in higher expenses, less money in your pocket, and a lower quality of life.
I wasn’t suggesting all automatic litter boxes are dangerous, only that some are. If someone is shopping for one, it’s important to be aware that not everything on the market is safe.
