If he heard it from someone who saw the UFO, doesn’t that mean the account was second-hand for him? First-hand would be reserved for the person who saw the UFO, wouldn’t it? (Maybe that’s why they put quotes around that term, or maybe I’m w

Most waxes melt at about body temperature. You’d be eating waxed popcorn.

If you do the math on the CO2, the emissions per passenger mile is significantly worse for a motorbike than for subway or bus -- regardless of the power source for the train or bus. But, again, I don't think this proposed fee/tax

It’s too easy to modify the exhaust on a motorcycle, so I don’t think this would be practical. Local laws here are very strict about noise levels, and vehicles are inspected regularly, yet still there are a lot of drivers with modified mach

Most motorbikes I’ve been near have had significantly more smelly exhaust than a modern car. I don’t think their catalytic converters are as efficient, or maybe they’ve been broken? Anyway, I don’t think the fees aim to improve pollution, j

I’d love to hear more about that. US unions seem broken in such interesting ways. Are they generally seen as a cost driver, apart from working to raise salaries and pensions?

What problem would you solve by a “drive twice, pay for five” scheme? I think that would incentivize people to drive more, not less.

You don’t play music, do you? It’s absolutely possible to learn a rhythm, groove or melody wrong, and to rehearse it until it sounds so right, the anything else sounds wrong to you. But your audience would notice.

I have not been a metal head for many years but my recollection is that the live albums and bootlegs have timing that varies all over the place. Especially on MoP and Battery, and a few other notable ones (The Four Horsemen) which have comp

Lars Ulrich, the drummer of Metallica, is widely considered to a mediocre drummer, in terms of technique. His style is distinctive but cannot be called precise. The timing on Master of Puppets is likely due to a fluke during the songwriting

MobileSheets Pro for android is pretty nice. It’s not as polished in the UX department as ForScore, but it works really well and IMO it handles complex page sequences better than ForScore. In typical Android fashion, it exposes a bit too mu

Permit me to quote the article you’re commenting on. > 10. Ataraxia (Greek: ἀταραξία) > Ataraxia literally translates as “unperturbedness”, but is generally considered as “imperturbability”, “equanimity”, or “tranquillity”.

I think they were worried about speed because it was a large ship, regardless of propulsion method. I believe that the longer a sailing ship is, the faster it can sail. This affects the construction/dimensioning. So this small boat wo

My post was about how the assumption that a yurt would be an improvement over current technology makes some weird assumptions. Like, that current army tents are square. I don’t think it’s my responsibility to read up on how foreign armies o

I don’t know the first thing about the US army, but several others have this figured out already. I’m Swedish and our tents have been round for … well I don’t know how long.

Militaries in various countries already use simple canvas tents when in the field. I don’t see how switching to a similar-looking yurt setup would be an improvement.

There are two maps on the same Wikipedia page that put the three mentioned countries in Eastern Europe. It’s still a useless term.
