If you eat a 57 gram Snickers bar it is impossible to put on more than 57 grams of weight. I'm not really sure what you're looking for here.

1000 minus 1 is almost 1000.
It's every bit as valid as that statement.
10 minus .01 is almost 10.
That too. You're taking away a thousandth.

Here's a good one for you then to show one million versus one billion.
If you count each second as it passes, you will reach one million in eleven days.
If you count to one billion it'll take 31 years. (31 years is also one thousand spans of eleven days).
So 2.5 M is around 28 days and 4 B is more like 120 years.

The bottom of the grey tube lets water leak out of the grey tube into the tank. Replace the grey tube and whatever else comes with it. $13 tops.

Ho. Lee. Shit.
This morning I was telling my wife I want the music Kramer and Frank Costanza use when they are making sausages.
"Caribbean sausage making music" actually did it! Amazing!
Edit: Newman, not Frank.

I don't think this was the point but this post kind of makes me think Ticketmaster provides a service venues need.

You'll be looking for an electrical fuse rather than a thermal fuse in my opinion, given the failure follows a power outage.

I'm just guessing here but I can imagine the desire to increase bandwidth doesn't change the fact that it's a limited resource and we're still just seeing dirty high priority stuff.

Reply to comment by Kingjoe97034 in ELI5: Why do countries import and export the same exact resource? by Premium_Woman
Right, say we're in Herpinastan and I own a salt mine. You own a beef buillion cube company and need salt. Maybe local market conditions dictate you can pay $1 per pound of salt, but Americans will pay $6 per pound if we call it Herpina Sea Salt.
My salt would be exported and you may need to import some.

Calories are the unit of measuring heat energy. You should actually light a peanut on fire and light a dried piece of cabbage on fire.
Which one burns hotter, brighter, longer? This is actually the test they do in the lab to figure out calories, using a device called a bomb calorimeter.
It's chemical energy just like gasoline in your car. Not all gas is the same octane.
