OpenBSD is about that easy. Download the new version install image, boot into it, select Upgrade, and let it go. I typically upgrade a couple of months after a new release comes out. That way there's been time for any post-release issu

Yes, but they're all single or otherwise have no family obligations. Once you have a family and have to deal with school and other activities it's pretty hard to deviate much from the normal 9-5 workday.

A lot of people just don't like doctors. I have good insurance, but I haven't been to a doctor (MD) in probably close to 20 years. I do get regular dental cleaning and checks though.

Well for a minor cut you went to a facility that has staff and equipment available 24x7 to deal with multiple concurrent heart attacks, strokes, major injury and trauma. Next time wash it out, bandage it up and wait for cheaper treatment if

I don't get the use of wipes. I have no trouble cleaning myself with regular toilet paper, which is designed to quickly disintegrate when wet. I don't understand what problem these are solving. If your stool is so soft/sticky

I agree. Eat what you want. Don't overdo any one thing. Prefer natural to processed food. Watch your weight. Enjoy life and don't worry so much.

And he's just somebody new. Parties seem to have a tendency to wheel out old candidates who have tried and failed to get past the primaries multiple times already (thinking of Biden, in particular here, but that's just one example

That does seem to make sense. Thanks for the explanation.

They would be close in general I guess, but possibly differ in maneuvers with banking and yaw? Perhaps some comparisons of averages over time would be best, rather than reacting to instantaneous disagreement. (Not an aeronautical engineer .

Yes it's the same basic design, but you might be hard pressed to believe it. Notice especially the engines. Original 737: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737#/media/File:D-ABEA_... Max: https:&#x2F

In a turn, AOA will differ from one side of the plane to the other. You'd really need six AoA sensors, three per side, to be really confident.

I have seen some suggestion that in the Ethopian crash the crew may have overlooked setting the flaps for takeoff. This would not only reduce lift but also potentially allow MCAS to operate since it only works with flaps retracted. Let me s

Environmentalists were enthusiastic about ethanol for a while, along with biodiesel from soybean oil (another bad idea) before they realized it was a net negative.

I buy premium gas for my small engines. They don't need the octane, but it's easier to find non-ethanol gas in premium than in regular unleaded.

They found some purported (maybe confirmed?) wreckage did they not? Seat cushions and other lightweight parts washed up on a beach somewhere? But never the flight recorders.

I would never have held up Ethiopia as the model of incorruptibility. And the NTSB is generally thought to be above reproach. But I guess it's hard to argue that given two competent agencies, the one with the least perceived conflict

I was about to say, then that is a definition you have made for yourself. My understanding of the word malice is to mean "desire to cause pain, injury, or distress to another" as Webster defines the word. But I discovered there is

Without doing any research I'd assume that either there was an investigation and insufficient evidence was found, or that there was not because there was not even probable cause to begin one. To think otherwise is to believe in a consp

I had heard of the history of the "rudder hardover" problems with the 737 but have never heard that Boeing was actively subverting the investigation. Assuming it's true, I'd agree that it's appalling behavior, but t

Apple would disagree. They were not first to market with music players, or mobile phones. They looked at what others did, saw their opening, and when they were ready they came in and absolutely dominated the market with products that had be

I disagree with almost all of this. Cars are getting bigger, not smaller. At least in the US. Very few people are interested in an tiny car suitable only for commuting. They want an all-purpose car that they can use for commuting, shopping,

I don't think writing and painting can be compared. Writing has some elements of art, but it also has a lot of rules that come from the language. Painting is much more free-form.

Everyone seems to be zeroed in on MCAS. Completely unknown at this time whether that system was related to the Ethopian crash. What the two crashes do have in common other than the aircraft model is a third world carrier, dubious pilot qual
