Your posts seems to highlight why I'm wary about these extractable site generator things - it appears that people much smarter than I use them out of the box but don't really peer into that box, so end up with queries like yours.

I guess because it's known that the other is 95% truth vs. 95% fiction?

Likewise, I've personally been in awe at some of the upscaled Nuclear testing footage that's cropped up on YouTube recently. It's literally awe-inspiring. So what if it's not 100% accurate?

ha, I quite like the idea of General Detritus! Just detritus generally. It's strange for me as I've been using it for so long now, my mind skips a beat and I feel like I've had a post update whenever I come across the word IR

Not everyone focuses solely on cash in life, and for some the thought of becoming a 'regular software engineer at a company' might be existentially boring.

Sure, but I'd then suggest it almost makes things easier - today's internet consumers are generally expectant of a certain range of formats, rather than the early CSS Days' DIV Free For All. A neat contemporary version of Dre

I could agree with a compromise - a research station in orbit, and then mechanised exploration and 'settling' of the atmosphere itself. If there's any chance at all now that Venus might have life, I'd think it worthy o

Is that such a bad thing, in an absolute sense? Sure it made a mess of code (well, early versions, at least) but it enabled people who don't/can't/won't code to put content on the web fairly easily. I know I used it

I'd agree that outsourced national infrastructure initiatives that are either ad hoc or politically-motivated tend to be debacular in their nature - but I have a sneaking suspicion the real power houses that focus on all thing cryptogr

Same thing all over and I know for a fact that construction companies in my home town would often simply destroy or bury artefacts they found, rather than risk a long and costly halt to a job.

Hey, thanks for getting back to me - I realised this morning I should've just checked your profile, which I did! I'm very impressed with what you're doing - particularly as I actually had a similar idea a couple of years back

Interesting! So you have a site I can see? A competitor to me (offering laser services) has started offering water-cut plywood, which boggled my mind - I would have expected that to be a terrible idea!

I'm not a Tory. You're perhaps conflating me with the first responder who admitted as much. That said, I can't stand ANY of our political masters and think party politics is mostly dysfunctional and inefficient. Do I think La

Yes, this is very much what I think too - the UK is a 'nexus' country with saturated and dense global and continental links. So clearly the 'solution' would have been to very early on close the borders and lock everyone

As I've been saying to everyone (including my Italian partner whose stated much the same opinion as you have) - I don't think anyone can point to any state and declare with any assurance "They got it right!" and I don&#x

They're damned if they do, damned if they don't. I still can't believe how un-Tory our Tory government has been, and yet still they're The Worst of The Worst in the minds of those with strong opinions. I don't much

Again.. hobbyists - but more to the point, it's perfectly possible to 'manually' do parametric constraints on moderately simple 2.5D geometries on the fly with a bit of logic using software that isn't necessarily built

I'd love to know more about how heavy elements got from the sun into the interior of our planet and then back out to near the surface again. Where can I learn about this process?

For the record, I actually run a CNC and a laser professionally and whilst I'm not intimately familiar with Blender, I know how other 'non-specific' software can be modified and/or used as a starting point for creating p

The UK was one of the most compliant EU members. Personally I'd've preferred staying in the EU and exercising a little more 'flexibility' in interpreting bloc rules to suit our tastes, as some other EU states are wont to

You never hear of a chemical and then it pops up twice in a week! Now I'm wondering what sort of ghosts they have on Venus... .

It amuses me to wonder what an entity with the value of one of the current market behemoths could accomplish if only they put a % or ten of their capitalisation into 'nuclear' research, be it fission or fusion. A sort of modern da
