    The process of taking something apart to understand how it works is called reverse engineering, and there are many reasons why someone (or a company) might do it.

    You can reverse engineer consumer products, software, mechanical parts, pieces of technology, or even architectural structures.

    When companies employ this practice, engineers usually do it without the original blueprints. While there are many ways to reverse engineer a product, a popular method is to take apart a smaller part of a product and analyze it until you get a thorough understanding of it.

    It could have been placed there by a woodpecker, who secures pine cones in a hole or crack before starting the work with getting the seeds out. Some store nuts and pine cones in trees for the winter, and forgets about some of them.

    You can deconstruct (and reconstruct) things in many different areas. Jazz musicians can take apart a song and put the ideas together in a new improvisation of the original. Writers might look at a well-known story and retell it in a new, fresh way.

    The musical West Side Story, for example, was based on the storyline from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and James Joyce’s Ulysses is a modern-day retelling of The Odyssey by Homer.

    If I'm not wrong, these vessels are used to store and transport water. It's called xylem and it's present in every plant, but it's stronger and larger in cacti because of dry climate.

    2 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    These are actually the ribs. It is also known as the "secondary xylem," but its main purpose is to give support to the cactus. The primary xylem is closer to the surface and is responsible for transporting almost all of the water the cactus needs to survive. During a rainy season, like the one we just had here in the Sonoran Desert, the pleats allow the saguaros to expand like an accordion. Come see these fat guys while you have a chance!

    In business, updating older products for current use is also one of the main reasons why people turn to reverse engineering. It could include rebuilding:

    • An old or outdated product;
    • An expensive product using cheaper or more readily available materials;
    • A product that uses mechanical parts that no longer exist;
    • Another company's product to learn about it;
    • Reverse engineering helps engineers understand the product's function, which they can use to create an effective updated version that still meets user requirements.

    If you think that's complicated, have a look at Charles Babbage's Difference Engine - the small versions worked, but when he tried to scale it up, it couldn't be made as metalworking technology wasn't up to it. Someone did try to recreate it fairly recently using more modern manufacturing. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_engine

    Reverse engineering can also help repair products that are already on the market. This process can be especially helpful if nobody is sure what's causing the issue. Engineers may also take these products apart to see if there are any ways to fix them or improve functionality with new technology or smarter design. For example, a company may learn that newly available technology can help improve glitching issues within a software application. Through the reverse engineering process, they may also learn that there's a more efficient way to create the product.

    This egg-inside-egg phenomenon is called a counter-peristalsis contraction. Basically, it's when an egg that has already passed through the hen's oviduct gets sucked back up before it can finish developing, allowing another egg to develop around it.

    I got a dozen eggs recently, for hard boiled eggs. I tossed them in a pan with water and boiled those babies. I went to peel them and slice them, only to find that EVERY AINGLE ONE of them was a double-yolker. Seriously. What are the odds? We're talking 24 yolks to the dozen. Crazy.

    Eggs are often candled, held up to light, to look for double yolks or imperfections. The doubles are set aside. Maybe this batch was accidentally packaged.

    As writer Eric Braun pointed out, deconstruction also plays a part in teaching something to someone else. In order to pass down the knowledge, you need to understand its components and how they fit together. This comes from focused learning on each aspect of the topic. If a student does not understand something and has a question, the teacher will not be able to convey the topic if they cannot answer it.

    Yes, it is burning. With bushfires in Australia, once the main fire is out, patrols will check for weeks after the fire to make sure trees burning internally do not reignite another fire. Fun/Scary fact: fire can burn inside a tree and not be seen on the outside, then travel along the roots underground to ignite another tree - again, without showing on the outside.

    That's because all mammals have similar-ish bone structures (to a certain extent). An elephant's toes have padding under the toes that allow it to walk quietly. Also they have padding under their actual feet which means they can be super quiet! Signed, an elephant lover :)

    That’s not abnormal that’s how all cedar looks around here when it’s split. Always called it the "heart" of the cedar. I used to cut cedar for xtra money when I was in high school. Places pay for it in logs certain lengths to make posts and stuff. Cedars naturally are resistant to most bugs. And rot resistant. Good for fence posts.

    Yes. You probably know, but maybe others don't... In botany, herbaceous refers to a plant that continues to not grow woody stems even after one season. So bananas are herbaceous, yet not an herb in the culinary sense. And rosemary is not herbaceous - it's a woody shrub - yet is considered an herb in the culinary sense.

    And also incapable of reproducing sexually. All cavendish bananas are cloned plants with fruits that do not contain seeds. Hence the fragility of the banana crop, one disease that this one banana plant is susceptible to could kill all cavendish banana plants in the world.

    If the trunk still remain planted, a new shoot will grow from the center, blossoming into a full new tree. Banana trees, once they produce the bananas, will never be able to produce another set of bananas. This is the method some people use to get multiple set of bananas from the same tree trunk.

    The ones we had died after fruiting. The main plant literally dried up and fell apart. But they were constantly growing smaller plants in an expanding circle around the main plant. We had ladyfingers and a larger banana that I don't think was cavendish, but I don't know the name. The plants had been there for 60ish years. Was really pissed when the fence between them and the neighbours got replaced and the fencing guy literally dozed them all down to make it easier to put in the fence. Just killed all of them.

    When the Roeblings were building the Brooklyn Bridge, their cable supplier delivered substandard cable. Rather than wait for a new vendor to make hundreds of miles of new wire to replace the bad stuff, they just decided to use more strands of the bad wire to make thicker cables.It worked

    I’m not sure this is maintenance. I think they are setting it up. Once these things are turned on you can’t turn the magnets off. Makes me wonder how they recycle old ones? Anything metal used to take it apart would just get stuck to inside.

    This type were banned years ago because they're so dangerous. That metal tape measure can slash right through a child's delicate wrist with catastrophic results.

    Bought some from Walmart last year, cut one open, and it was made from a cheap flimsy material. So as a previous poster said making these types of slap bracelets (made from tape measurers) have been banned.

    That doesn't necessarily mean they are banned. Just that the one you had was made from different materials.

    I think this is specifically an IMAX screen, as part of IMAX is that the sound comes from directly behind the screen, making it necessary for it to not be solid so the sound can penetrate the screen without being obstructed

    The front speakers are located behind the screen. Where else could they be, if you wanted clearly located sound? You'd need these perforated screens so that the sound doesn't get muffled.

    I think the point here is to be consistent - older alarm switches would have pulled a heavier or more complex mechanism, the alarm switch has to remain easily identifiable however so while the technology got simpler the switch itself needs to stay the same.

    I'm assume it's to make it more obvious that it's a fire alarm and to make it harder to accidentally "bump" and set it off.

    Although I never experienced it myself, I learned the fire alarms in my high school squirted a little ink when you pulled down, staining your hand. This was done to identify anyone who pulled the alarm. These days I imagine there are just cameras everywhere.

    I really don't like the new trend of plumbing with flexible hose instead of copper piping. Because of what you see in the pic. They tend to burst of split dramatically instead of developing a slow leak over time. Friend had one burst in his ensuite. Probably 5 or 10 minutes after he left for work. His son woke up an hour or so later and the carpet was soaking wet even though the two rooms were opposite ends of the house. So in about an hour it put an inch of water through basically the whole house. Carpet in every room needed replacing, a heap of furniture and some electronics too. And they had about a fortnight of massive fans trying to dry out the walls. Fortunately the walls didn't need to be redone and insurance covered it. But was a massive mess.

    That is one of those hoses that basically looks like surgical tubing inside coated by cloth or something to protect it on the outside. A charity I used to volunteer at got hardware donations (among other things) and over time I saw a lot of these. If a customer returned a thing for whatever reason it often ended up being given to us.

Some of there were melted and you could see the "guts" of the ball. Some were solid and some were rubber band. And they came in a ton of colours.

Not so good for the hatchling, but desirable for a player. Eggs are usually found in shallow dens in the grass, which is where the game was originally designed, to return found eggs to their dens.

    Despite looking cheap from the inside due to the materials used, this is actually an extremely good structural design due to the use of hexagons. Hexagonally shaped items can withstand massive amounts of force because they perfectly distribute it evenly among the six sides and corners, a feature that other shapes don't have or don't behave as well as six-sided figures. IKEA has the right idea (and no, I didn't intend for that to rhyme but maybe I just wrote their new ad slogan)

    Not many remaining, despite their huge production runs: Henry Ford offered an extremely appealing trade-in on these virtually indestructible cars so as to create a market for the Model A. The Model Ts were recycled: the wooden body panels in a joint venture with Mr. King to produce charcoal BBQ briquettes.

    In mid-1980's I restored a 1920 Model T same body style as pictured. The original owners manual gave you a step by step instruction on how to disassemble the automobile piece by piece. The second half of the manual was how to re-assemble the automobile piece by piece. Henry Ford was a genius !

    If it just went down then your bowl would never have water in it. Going up then down creates a trap, providing a water seal, before going over the weir and down the back and into the sewer system.

    In general: you want harder (but generally more brittle) steel along the cutting edges, so they can be reasonable sharp, and less brittle steel in the "core" so the entire thing doesn't break in two when you hit something. You can change the properties of steel via percentage of carbon (the more the harder and more brittle - more than 2,14% C and we are talking about cast iron), alloying (for example ~10% chrome for stainless steel), or changing the microstructure through shaping and/or keeping the steel at a certain temperature for a certain amount of time (fast cooling from high temp --> harder and more brittle; some time at lower temperatures --> softer and less brittle).

    If you like vanilla, try tonka beans. I know, they are not allowed in US , but rest of the world can use them and they are even more amazing. (Banned in US because they are technicaly poisonous, but you would have to eat a LOT of them. Danger dose is about 30 to 40 beans, one bean is enough to heavily flavour 3 to 4 liters of milk or two cakes, so it is not that dangerous)

    Well, I can't speak for them, but I will add my 2 cents: Bought it because it looks cool. Got it all set up and just hate the way it cooks. It's like I have to learn to cook and clean all over again. The old one was 40 years old, with the old time coils. The new one is 10X more powerful, even at lower temps. I have burnt so much! AND the cleaning: First, while it's warm, you take a razor blade and scrape off the residue; then, while still warm you squirt a special cleaner onto the surface, scrub that with a special pad, let it dry and then buff/polish it. Takes forever and results not guaranteed. BUT, I spent a bunch of $$ on it, so I WILL get used to it. Someday

    That should not be. You can have antibiotic 'tablets', or 'capsules' with tiny doses that are meant to dissolve far more quickly than a tablet. Whoever is selling that is breaking the law in most countries. There are legal definitions of types of medication. and their uses. *Which is more effective tablet or capsule?

    For those curious, the needle-like thing is the projectile in this round. The strange ring around it is called the sabot, and falls off. For more info, Google "flechette"

    I’m guessing the stirrup-looking fixtures on the ladder are for attaching body harness lanyards as you go. Still, the orthostatic shock of the fall would be pretty bad.

    Most modern fall arrest harnesses have load-limiters built into them so you don't come to a sudden stop at the end of the tether.

    They are used to give rigidity and shape to the paddle board, otherwise it would just end up looking like a large balloon.
