Yeah, the "not permitted" language is bizarre. Not permitted by who? Is there a law? No. Did I sign a contract? Presumably also no, although I wouldn't be completely surprised to find out that dealers are getting people to si

Sort of an aside: I find it so strange to insist that everything have The One True Story With All Its Details And We Shall Murder Anyone Who Disagrees ("canon"). I'm not an expert in literature by any means--I was bad at, and

It feels good. We absolutely love throwing people in prison for ridiculous lengths of time, because we are, for the most part, violent busybodies.

I can't believe anyone takes these apps seriously. Of all the things wrong with mental health care, "a shortage of apps" was not even in the running to make the list. Talk to someone who has struggled with depression for deca

Just doing some quick back-of-the-napkin math, 1,600 miniature bayonet sockets potentially add up to hundreds of pounds of mass. That may have been a factor in the decision to solder the bulbs directly onto the boards. Especially when repla

I don't have an opinion on the risk management decision made here because I don't know anything about the building. Just wanted to "clear the air," if you will, on the weather because I saw a lot of comments that made it

For folks saying you can't really predict tornadoes, I grew up in the Midwest so I hear what you're saying, but this was different. I look at weather every day in an operational context and I can tell you that everyone who knows a

An FAA determination of hazard to air navigation is indeed technically advisory but it has enormous practical effect. Nobody will finance or insure a project with such a determination. I'm aware of one case where a project received a h

The FAA is federal and the law requiring notice of construction applies in the entire United States. Any structure taller than 499 feet requires FAA involvement. 14 CFR Part 77.

I'll add that Hubble has an angular resolution of 0.05 arcseconds, and Earth-Sun L2 is roughly 1,500,000 km away, which comes out to about 350 m resolution at that distance--fifteen times larger than JWST.

Which is completely beside the point since the post I was replying to is apparently bemoaning vaccine mandates generally as some unprecedented new development, which again, they aren't. If you want to have a discussion about whether

All kinds of vaccines have been mandatory for generations. You wouldn't have been allowed to attend school if you hadn't had loads of them. In the US for instance all schoolchildren are required to be vaccinated against diphtheria

Thanks for the clarification. (I'm a little surprised I haven't seen this spelled out before, considering how much ink has been spilled over this issue, but I digress.)

I might be working from old info here but my understanding is that vaccination reduces the ICU burden. Assuming that's still good info, is it totally unreasonable to blame the unvaccinated for ICU overload?
