Also lumber. Everyone knows a 2 by 4, but say that in metric. That'll probably be easy to fix though.
"5 by 10" ?

I'm still reeling over the fact they noticed that "Start Menu usage dropped" right after they removed the start button.
How is that possible?
State and local politicians know who elects them, and it ain't Elon Musk.
They also know they aren't going to personally foot the bill for the legal defense. The taxpayer will do that for them!
Maybe you wear baggy pants with elastic waistband.
Hipsters prefer the "two pin plug" look.
Practically everybody puts their phone in a case. Which makes wonder: why is phone thinness such a huge issue?
Because you don't want something to be an inch thick when it's in a case....
In the end a large flat object can be broken, that's just physics and no amount of design will change that.
If you bother to look at the videos you'll see they all seem to bend right where the volume buttons are. That's called a "weak point" and a certain amount of design will change that (and without violating the laws of physics!)
Remember that in realty Apple's has reports of just six actual phones being bent.
Riiiight....becuase Apple has never lied about product defects and never, ever deleted a forum post that pointed them out.
how do you get away from the "I nicked my iPhone dropping it out of my car, let me bend it and get a new one" crowd?
Simple: You make a phone that doesn't bend in normal use.
The general consensus that Consumer Reports seems to be getting at here is that the results that they observed shows that while the iPhones do bend, the amount of force required to do so results in phones from other manufacturers simply breaking under the stresses involved.
If by "phones from other manufacturers" you mean "the HTC One (M8)", then, yes, that is correct.
The real problem is the size. There's a physical principle called a "lever" which multiplies forces. Maybe you can google it...
How to let officers pee without also letting them turn off cameras at every "inconvenient" time presents a challenge...
Why? They have no problem nudie-scanning the public at airports and calling their buddies over and having the chick pass through the machine a few more times if she's really hot.
They could have a button that turns it off for five minutes.
It could reactivate instantly if they start running, fighting, draw a weapon, etc.
Hopefully the cameras won't point straight downwards.towards policeman's feet.
What's needed is a law that says that whenever the camera is switched off the cop is regarded as "off duty" and therefore regarded as a normal citizen with no special privileges.
When they switch it off a little flap appears with the words "Off duty" on it (so everybody can see it) and the time spent off duty is deducted from their paycheck at the end of the month.
No. It just means that banks are looking for ways in which they can manipulate them.
Either that or the person that "commissioned" this study has personal interests (ie. family) in the company that's doing it.
The key failing of the cradle and the (actually extremely similar) pole theory is that it does not explain how they moved the far larger slabs that were not square blocks.
So they could only move 90% of the stones that way...
Yeah I guess that _does_ definitively prove they could never have used them for anything at all. Not.
This is very interesting, and maybe that's good enough. But isn't there some evidence of what method they might have used?
Yes.
There's another fact that this theory ignores: Moving the blocks this way takes wood. Lots and lots of wood.
a) No it doesn't. Wood can be re-used.
b) They brought the stones in on boats, why couldn't they bring the wood as well?
