In a completely unrelated news story, Donald Trump just named him head of his election campaign.

The better model would be to attract a lot of customers with cheaper coffee, but also offer premium options.

It would also take away from the aura of "premium" coffee.
I honestly get better coffee brewed on my own from Hills Brothers than I do from Starbucks or Dunkin.

The liquid is the same density as the tube, so no refraction\lensing occurs as light shifts from one to the other. As far as the photon is concerned, it's just about the same path to travel through both.

Reply to Depression can lead to memory dysfunction. This study may pave way for new drugs. Results of a large study involving brain scans show that patients with moderate to severe depression have 7-10 per cent fewer serotonin 4 receptors in the brain than healthy test subjects. by Wagamaga
This is completely true, based on personal experience.

Reply to How to find angle for handrail by Smewhyme
If you have a (pretty standard) carpenter's square, there are degree measurements on it. If you place the square against the railing, then hand a weighted string from the pivot location (all the angles will pint to it), it will tell you the angle of the railing.
Match that value on your miter box.

Design something that would support it, but fits into it lying on the ground, then mound that to the posts.

Looks stable side-to-side (long-ways), but needs diagonal stabilizers front to back too. Smaller is fine, and actually, your other diagonals could probably be a lot smaller.
The vertical posts need to be 4x4s, and if you're doing that, make them tall enough to stand under without banging your head. You can hang the kayak(s) and equipment on the posts instead of on the ground that way, too.
I also suggest that you cut the tips of the long 2x4s at a 45 degree angle to minimize head bruises. Very simple miter saw cut.

Reply to /r/DIY - what fasteners would you stock for small woodworking and home improvement projects by Forumferret
My go-to fastener is a coarse-thread drywall screw. Good grip, strong for it's size, V-bottom head for countersinking, and you can get them in most any size you want.
Past that...I learned long ago that each screw, nail, bolt, nut, and washer I can save has a good chance of keeping me from having to run to the hardware store. The trick is to keep it all ONLY semi-organized...and for me, it works out best to split (ex: screws) into three groups - small (<3/4") medium (<2") and large (2"+). When I need a medium screw, I dump some of the container into a bowl I keep on hand for it, and parse through the available screws to find the size and type I need. If I don't find what I'm after, other options are still right in front of me that way.

I'm wondering about the implications on fuel storage.
Can we compress hydrogen enough to get sufficient fuel onboard a plane for a decent flight time?
Would the necessarily higher compression require more sturdy pressure vessels, and wouldn't the added weight counteract any savings?

Other constructs return control to the thing that called them, keeping the line of processing much much clearer.
The alternative is what we call "spaghetti code", where determining the true path through the code is damned near impossible...like trying to follow a strand of spaghetti through an entire bowl of it.
