Fair enough but you could say the same for the cyclists. Ultimately having traffic sharing a lane with high relative speeds is dangerous. It's dangerous for the cyclist at 15mph having a car come from behind going 45mph, and it'

On a 45mph road though that's a closing speed of 90mph assuming everyone's following the speed limit. It seems crazy to me to have opposing traffic sharing a lane at those speeds.

IMO the answer as to why is that Ira Glasser was replaced by Anthony Romero as executive director in 2001, and Romero substantially reoriented the organization.

Lockheed could probably still do it, but these days Boeing itself contracts out a lot of the manufacturing to companies like Spirit Aerosystems. The real capability Boeing has is in engineering and systems integration, and those capabiliti

The cost does seem excessive, but it’s surprising that Boeing would make such a bad deal given that the U.S. government had no real alternative. What is the president going to ride in, an Airbus?

Ok why can’t the farmers just sell the water to the cities then or have a city buy some farmland with water rights?

NYRB in the nineties when I was reading it was absolutely amazing. I can say that my life and my tastes would be different without it. In the 2000s it got much thinner. The articles were shorter, and under GWB it veered much more into po

No. I don't even think Curative was around in April 2020 or at least not doing covid tests. Tests were in very short supply back then.

There is a much larger player that did this on a much larger scale (100-1000x) in April-May 2020 in California and some neighboring states and the story has never been told because they did it with the blessing of the state.

I think it depends on the terrain in which you're operating on and whether you're on the offense or the defense. In urban or wooded terrain where engagement distances are shorter, the NLAW is probably a little better. In desert

I think that having 5% manufacturing capacity almost might as well be zero given the kinds of things we manufacture today. For example, a car used to have a carburetor that was relatively simple, just a few metal parts. Now we have very s

Maybe even more amazing: In about 1985 Sears piloted a thing called "Electronistore." You could go into a Sears store and browse the catalog and place orders on a computer (a PC/XT) with a credit card. The computer setup was

It's not consistent. I believe in some countries it's all English. In Germany, big airports are English, and small airports are German. In the couple of small airports I've flown out of in France, it's French. I'

In my experience the NY ATC can be brusque in a way that can border on the unprofessional, and they tend to have an accent that can be hard to understand if you're not from there and you're listening on your crappy AM aviation rad

But the original license says that additions are allowed to be removed. They picked the license that said this, presumably because it’s open source certified. However if they did not like the terms they should not have licensed their soft

I see a lot of poo-poohing of the influence aspect of this. The biggest example is the man at the top, Gerhard Schröder, the former Chancellor of Germany. As Chancellor, he began the phaseout of nuclear energy and approved the Nord Stream

I don't see how the mere fact of someone being logged into a school account could create such a requirement. If I log into the school account from a normal desktop computer, I don't believe that the school even has the ability to
