brianorca,

It is now but the comment mentioned 2014.

brianorca,

They might already have a pilot license. This setup costs way less per hour than actual flying. And it lets you try things that would be risky in a real plane. Or you can practice bad weather or equipment failures safely, so you can better handle a real situation if it occurs.

brianorca,

Pretty sure chips are toast in this diagram. Or maybe it depends if they are potato or tortilla chips.

brianorca,

Sometimes only one end, making them a quiche.

brianorca,

Many more recent cars will do this automatically at high throttle conditions, such as acceleration to pass.

brianorca,

You can set up a command line to start VLC using the OS’s built in task scheduler.

brianorca,

Ouch. Many years ago, my car was totaled while driving to a family Christmas Eve party. (Rear ended when the freeway traffic slowed down.)

brianorca,

Mercury orbits the sun every 88 earth days. It spins on its axis every 59 earth days, relative to an outside observer (sidereal day.) That makes the solar day (from sunrise to sunrise) 179 earth days long.

brianorca, (edited )

No. I rounded off the numbers. A Mercury day is exactly 2 Mercury years. Which is why it’s “in resonance”. That means that gravity will speed up or slow down the rotation to keep the ratio stable over time.

But when you wake “fully refreshed” you are only good for the next 16 hours. Then you will be tired like any end of day, and out of sync with everyone else’s schedule, and still have to wait for the 20 hour cool down.

I mean, when you wake up normally “fully refreshed”, how long can you go? 16-17 hours is all I get, unless I really push it. The description doesn’t say you don’t get tired, just that there’s a 20 hour cool down.

brianorca,

How long until they stop delivering apps with Intel support, which would break this tool?

brianorca,

It means they either roll it more tightly (more layers per inch) or they make the roll bigger (hope it still fits your roll holder) to stuff more paper on each roll. So they are advertising the package as “72 regular rolls” when it’s only 12 physical rolls.

brianorca,

The service life of a hard good like that was not defined at the time they bought it. Nobody told them it would be abandoned in a few years. When you buy a car, it’s your car for as long as you can keep it running. It doesn’t drop dead at the end of its depreciation schedule.

brianorca,

But generally, you can find car parts, either OEM or aftermarket, for decades after you buy it.

brianorca,

Just because big tech does these things doesn’t mean we should remove any pretense of rules against it. If they want something a little guy has, they should buy it, not take it for free.

brianorca,

No, it’s not English semantics they are using here. It’s DNA semantics. They looked for DNA markers and gene expression to define what is head or tail of various animals, and found that most of the starfish expressed those similarly to the head of other animals.

brianorca,

One of the previous theories had the head in the middle and tail at the edge of the arms. But this study showed that the DNA markers for “head” are expressed all through the starfish, and there are no “tail” markers at all.

brianorca, (edited )

But 9 of those people can’t affect the outcome either way. So the chance that you’re on the main track and can affect the outcome in a positive way by flipping the switch is only 1/15.

brianorca,

That’s assuming the villain who is trying to deny you information by the blindfold and earplugs was dumb enough to put them close together that a spit would reach a neighbor.

brianorca,
