   My point is this: if you make a 1-inch model of a cruise ship (real length, ~1000 feet) and put it in a water tank which is approx. 120 feet in length (1/12000 of the distance between Rome and the eastern coast of Sardinia) you can the

   I think this is a gross oversimplification. Let's say that a place like, say France, maps to a family of six (Mother and Father, 2 children, 2 elders) living in an apartment on the second floor of a 5-floors/ten apartments buildin

   About the Apple Watch... I have an Apple Watch Series 3 at the moment. You seem to upgrade your watch much more frequently than I'd do. Could you give me an idea what gets significantly better at each upgrade? (not trying to criticize

   I am aware of the sad turn her life took after the experiment, but I would not jump at conclusions about how much weight her experience had on the decision to take her own life: if I am not mistaken she also suffered the tragic loss of her

    It’s great until you need to move the cursor downward. Actually I just discovered the spacebar trick thanks to the parent comment and... I can move up and down in a block of text by using the same method. Maybe I don't understand wha

    Part of the plan (at least the way this idea is presented) is to reduce textile waste. So yeah, you can buy stuff at the destination and throw it away before leaving, but not exactly an environmentally smart idea. (Btw, never been a biker m

    Yes, actually I would be more interested if this was more radical. I have been to Japan 4 times already (last one was in February). For the kind of travel I am interested in, renting 99% of my stuff at the arrival would be fine. But: 1) t

    I used COBOL for maybe 5 years (roughly from 1988 to 1993). The language is not complex at all, but as you correctly point out it is verbose. And handling variables is quite tedious. It can work more or less fine if you couple it with a RDB

    I know how Unions work. The OP stated: ...it's time for you to toss that leadership out. You can do that by leaving, or talking to management about this, or unionizing. A Union can organize and sustain a strike. But they cannot &quot
