We were taught the sailor dive, which is good to about 90', according to training. You use it to abandon ship. Err... I was in the Marines. Basically, cross your legs, point your toes, cup your testicles with one hand, and cover your n

The crazies up here do it in kayaks, which is pretty amusing. I will/do kayak but I'm not doing that.

LOL They used to cram a bunch of them into a room. There was also a secretarial pool which wasn't just a pool of typist who'd be sent out to an office, but was a giant room full of people pounding on noisy typewriters. That was th

Excellent, thanks. That sums it up wonderfully. I'm retired and we had separate teams with a liaison between the two, pretty much since our inception. A part of me thinks it's a good idea, but I'd worry about depth of knowled

What is the goal of a project like this? I'm absolutely not meaning that as a pejorative. I am just curious if there's an actual goal here. Is the goal to make a faithful reproduction, historical reference, a hacking challenge, or

Maine, here. I'm not far from Mt. Washington, as the crow flies. I was first here in the 1970s and the records confirm my recollection of cold snaps where it would go below 0 deg f and not come back above 0 for 5 to 7 days. I've n

Yup, it's the expected outcome. Some of the models predict what I'm seeing with the lack of extremes in the summer, as well. I'm not a climate scientist and only got into it to win an Internet Argument. It was very important,

The missus made me a quite large star map, complete with constellations marked and labeled. It took her forever. So, it may not be good to judge her worth - it might be good for judging her dedication to complete a task. It took her the bet

Well, they are both done in a grid, using squares that are (ideally) uniform in size and shape. The same limitations apply to both. A quick check says it doesn't meet the definition, but they seem pretty similar to me. They are concept

I'm trying to understand. This sounds kind of opposite to a description given to me for dev-ops. Is that accurate enough for a layman?

I went to boarding school in the same State I now live in. I have seen the climate change. Even in the decade since my retirement, the climate has changed. It's had an interesting effect in that the summer hasn't had many hot days

Crows are really smart. If anyone is interested, here's a PBS Nature doc about crows. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hBJKPwIFzDI They even transfer knowledge between each other and through generations.

You are disappointed that they were allowed to write an opinion piece while in college? I'm assuming it wasn't a peer reviewed science paper, but an opinion piece on ethics. Being allowed to explore the boundaries is a big thing t

Nah... Just disclose it. I've done all the drugs. Well, many. Some of them in large quantities. Just be honest about it. They are going to find out and DQ you if you lie. There are few things that automatically DQ you, for which you ca

Yeah, someone has added a video of this and it's currently at the top. I don't think I'd like to try that.

I guess you can make it hit the runway, if you want. I watched a doc with them testing planes and they, quite literally, put some lumber on the tail to protect it from damaging the metal when they hit the runway with the tail. As in, they w

Oh, it's all good. My lawn has plenty of room. You're more than welcome on it. But, less than sixty years hadly seems like the distant past. However, that's mostly an addendum. You may not have clicked the Wikipedia link but,

Has that changed? I know several who have complained about needing to return it in its original packaging. At least I'm pretty sure it was IKEA that they conplained about - and there have been several. I'll defer to you, as I have

by KGIII 9y ago
The two are very different. With a book, you have a reasonably known quantity and it's much easier to ship it back. I'm half convinced people keep IKEA furniture because they can't figure out how to get it back in the box.

I have done some traffic modeling in your area, and lived in the area. Boston has some aggressive drivers but that's probably due to the infrastructure being based on things like cow paths.

The best way is, if someone signals a lane change, let them in.
442.
by KGIII 9y ago
They are a combination of timers and sensors. And yes, we know all about this. Your assumption is correct. Doing this allows traffic to move with greater throughput overall. If it wasn't done, heavier trafficked thoroughfares would hav

Are you sure you live in Boston? Usually, the goal seems to be to dare the other driver, sometimes coupled with taunting. Yes, people do drive differently in different regions. Boston is the only place where I have had two cars totaled. It

There are many variations. It depends on your region, more or less. http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2015/10/was-california... Google will find more results.

If it helps, you can call it things like non-standard. We don't actually tend to follow all the rules of the road. Like all changes in traffic, we will adapt. It takes time. Something like a rotary can take 18 months before traffic ful

Your first paragraph, kind of. For many people, the net is just a few social media and streaming sites. The net has much of its wealth consolidated in just a few companies. We shall see.

2 billion monthly users, as of mid-2017 and according to Google. Maybe there's something to the idea that it is losing popularity? That doesn't seem like a vast majority and I seem to recall higher reported numbers in the past. I

I think one of the problems is that there are now, what, a few thousand cryptocurrencies? The optics of the multitudes of ICOs? Those aren't good. No, no they are not. A part of me wonders if this popularity boom might actually be the

If you take a system where everybody does similar and add something that does not, this is going to cause problems. This is going to cause problems even if the dissimilar behavior is the proper legal behavior. Erratic behavior causes accide

I was a math major and consumed it while an undergrad. I also would find that a good time to start work on infinity and save randomness for graduate levels. Kids these days! ;-) I do suppose it may be a bit different today, as I'd expe
