You are the sense one here.
First, your failed to see that it was clearly a joke, for fucks sake, I'm taking about kosher salt in that first reply to the post, but that doesn't change the fact that salt, regular salt that everyone has access to, comes in very different "sizes", and when taking about electronics miniaturization, one order of magnitude of a difference in size is a veeery significant difference, and when comparing a grain of table salt and a large grain of rock salt, we're taking about more than just one order of magnitude.

It's not about being huge or not, it's about relative size.
Table salt had tiny, sub millimeter grains, while rock said has huge, in comparison, grains.
When you're taking about possibly hundreds of times more volume, that does make a huge difference.

No they're not, there is a huge difference in size depending on the "type" of salt.

But what kind of salt? Fine salt? Kosher salt? Rock salt? A slab of salt?

Great way to start creating a medical profile and sell that data to advertisers or worse for big bucks.

I loved Yakult as a kid, and was incredibly jealous when I discovered that there were other flavors other than original in other counties, and now, you can't even buy Yakult where I live because it's not sold here, fuck my life.

Reply to comment by Pope_Cerebus in TIL: That in 2019, some criminals were caught and 36 BTC was confiscated. The authorities valued the worth at €127,000 at the time and was sold 2 years later for €1.5 million. The criminals were returned €1.3 million due to the fact that the amount was expressed in Swedish Krona, not BTC by Wendals87
The victims involuntarily had their money invested in bitcoin, they could argue that in this sense they should have the equivalent share of the ROI.

I can see the thought process of this genius.
He built a mold, with the steps neatly laid out, looked at it and thought "this looks nice", then proceeded to pour concrete on it, never realizing the features would end up at the bottom.

Your liver is also an organ.
After reading the headline, the first thing I thought was that some pastor claimed Jesus cured sime sort of illness that was affecting one of his organs; organ=dick only came to mind muuuuuuuch later, and only after reading the first few words of the article and realizing they were taking about a musical instrument.

Considering that it's wind speed that matters when talking about generating lift for an airplane, it's kinda obvious that this would be the desirable condition to land and takeoff, no?

Reply to World’s first solar panel 'carpet' on railway tracks may generate electricity by diacewrb
If only those panels could be placed in a more suitable location, where they are not only safe from debris falling and cracking them, but also grin all the vibration of the tracks that would cause micro cracks on them, or all the dust and dirt that would inevitably accumulate over them, or if only they could be placed on a better suited angle.
It's not like this system isn't orders of magnitude more complex, for no good reason, than simply putting the panels overhead, or besides the tracks where there's available space, or in many many other better suited places...
First we had solar roadways, and now it's solar railways, and it's not any less dumb.
