The trouble is that his behavior vis a vis Russia is so difficult to explain otherwise. We've been at this long enough to know that if you just assume Russia has a relationship with him, you have a fairly good idea of how things are go

That poll in isolation means nothing. A person who "does not trust Putin" but nevertheless subscribes to Russian propaganda is still doing his work. I see plenty of people in social media (enough to be convinced that they aren&#x2

This conversation is painful because people don't seem to understand that, okay, military boosters and civilian boosters are both related businesses, but the SLS SRB business is something separate and is as similar to the others as a f

The "follow this formula exactly or you're doing it wrong" guide to overworking. Funny stuff. He also warned against working more than 60 hours a week, saying it could lead to burnout, while calling out those who work less.

Please tell me what on that page appears to indicate the framerate on an 8088? At the moment the link to a spreadsheet is 404, and otherwise I don't know what you're talking about.

by justin66 2y ago
That page doesn't say what the framerate is on an 8088. You had one job... The indicated 6-7 MHz on 286 is impressive. I wonder how ferociously it was overclocked. Impressive work.

I can't imagine there's much overlap. The early SLS uses space shuttle solid rocket booster casings (because the people involved are only the dumbest people on the entire planet Earth) which don't have parts commonality with

"Great picture" sounds pretty subjective to me, but Suni Williams served a turn as commander of ISS and performed her eighth (wow) spacewalk while she's been up there. I imagine Wilmore is having fun too. It sucks for the guy

In fairness to the person asking the question, I've seen the term "forge" used a lot more in the previous six months than in the previous decade or two. Not sure what that's about.
