In this case SpaceX is not the only client the FAA is dealing with. Both the US military and NASA have a lot riding on the timely progress of Starship's shaking out the weak areas so Starship can become viable and reliable.

The pension fund should have known better than to invest in Amazon in the first place. Now they're just crying over spilled milk.

Don't worry about SpaceX, it's now an essential part of the US military. Without SpaceX's satellite internet the war in Ukraine would have been much hard to deal with. SpaceX's capacity to launch rockets two or three ti

Try again with ebikes. Save energy, super quiet, faster, carry heavier weapons gotta like all that for a sneak attack.

Ah, reading between the lines here looks like the problems have been with the devices that are 2TB and up so it looks like I'm safe with my 1TB SanDisk. Dodged another bullet.

No unfortunately gums don't grow back very much. What I mean is that my gums don't bleed any more because the tartar no longer inflames the gum tissues.

An Asus PN51 might be worth a look too unless you really need the I/O connections. For about another $100 you get an AMD processor and a solid case.

For those concerned about CO2 (as they should) don't forget that were it not for human CO2 we would very soon be on the cusp of another ice age. The point is that we're at a tricky balancing point either way.

No I brush once a day at the moment. I might brush more often if I can confirm that it won't damage my gums to do so. In any case, once a day for me has been working very well so far.

Anything that can be done will be done, in the genetic realm, in a few tens of million years give or take. The genotype is not in a hurry.

Oh no problem, I can wait, there's always another Nobel Prize around the corner.

Pretty much yes, holding your brush at 45 degrees and following your gum line. I found I could feel and follow my gum line except on my back upper outside molars where I had to turn the brush about 30 degrees up (in the front to back direc

If you have an ongoing problem of plaque/tartar build up on your teeth then this BBC article[1] could be a life changer for you. It was for me. After a year of doing it right my gums are now close to perfect. I notice though that neith

Continuing with the Monty Python vibe, the first code I wrote was in machine code (ie hex, not even assembler). Though I worked with a guy who wrote machine code on a magnetic drum and they used the delay of the rotation of the drum for the

And then there's Walter Pitts. Imagine what else he might have done if he grew up in a nuturing environment.

Ya but what's that 'f' (or lamba) term doing in the path loss equation? I'm pretty sure Einstein or Feynman would cast a jaundiced eye at that.

Unless you're leasing from Tesla who might not allow you to buy out the car when the lease is finished.

'... lets you store store hydrogen for long periods of time' is not as easy as you suggest. It's well known that hydrogen makes most (possibly all) metals become brittle over time. Hydrogen also leaks easily through metals be

Fine with me I recently moved to KVM from Vbox. It took a few hours of paper cuts to get the first VM up and running but once done it's very easy to use. Good timing for me.

Toyota and its fellow Japanese car makers were betting the bank on hydrogen based green cars. This was wishful thinking but they had a reason. A regular ICE car produces several post sales revenue streams. For example, regular oil changes,

My low tech but effective technique is: put a very little red wine in a wine glass (preferably stemless); flies will quickly congegrate. When there's enough (your judgement, for me 15 or more) very slowly place a plastic yogurt lid ove

I have a PN51 running my TV (as a dumb screen) and it's wonderful. It has a fan but I've never heard it even right close up. I haven't measured the power draw but I've never felt it any hotter than hardly detectable heat

I'm happy they are partnering with Asus. Not as happy if it means Asus products such as the PN5x series with AMD processors will get the axe.

Very recently Chrome has really messed up on my Linux Mint machines, something to do with hardware acceleration. They don't seem to be in any hurry to fix so, I'm now using the Brave browser. Very decent experience so far.

Having rode motorcycles and an ebike scooter in the past, both of these have an integrated lock for the handle bars. This means a thief can't just cut the lock and roll the bike away because the handle bars are locked at an angle. The

Sure, but so do clouds. It's a trade off and with the US military as a customer for Starlink the deep space experts are unlikely to prevail.
