Explain Like I'm 5 (ELI5)
Objective and layman-
ELI5: Why aren’t noise cancelling headphones as effective in cancelling high pitch sounds as their in cancelling low pitch sounds?
ELI5: how do engineers make sure wet surface (like during heavy rain) won’t short circuit power transmission tower?
ELI5 – Why do computer memory systems use 1024 not 1000?
Is it something to do with Base 8 Numbers (8/64/1024) not Base 10 (10/100/1000)?
Also why is it 1024MB to 1GB, but 1000GB to 1TB?
ElI5: why do experts say to grab vertical ropes when climbing nets?
During obstacle courses in basic training, drill sergeants insisted we grab the vertical ropes and not the horizontal ones when climbing rope nets. It was awkward, and they never explained the purpose for it. Anyone?
