In the case of a large university in smaller/to medium towns, there frequently won't be much of a change in ratio unless you're really willing to travel. It's the same community feeding all the places within walking dis

Terminal velocity is the fastest speed it would accelerate to via the pull of gravity versus air resistance. In space, there is no air, hence no terminal velocity. If the object is heating up due to air resistance (and compressed air), the

If they use emacs as the web browser, quite likely. My dad spent a couple years basically using it as his standard OS while consulting. Couldn't guarantee what software a company required, but if everything was done through emacs, he&

First two make sense ... rentals is really complex. How long are you willing to hurt those with the least amount of money. Maybe a home owners break, and a second weaker first rental/vacation home break would match the current approac

It can, and it should. However, that doesn't mean that the books are doing it successfully, and the teachers understand the underlying principles. Too many years ago, I was pleasantly shocked at looking at what was being covered in el

I'm remembering the first year there all these red wings at the bottom of a tree near the local school. Then I saw the praying mantis on the tree. Anyway, agreed there are far fewer of them in my suburban neighborhood now ... the fore

No one knows how to hang onto a dumb idea like a smart person. Just because the average person can't prove them wrong by argument doesn't mean their right.

They're clearly Russian, so second language seems likely.

My dad, who's a fairly recently retired techy, is the only exception I know. I'm assuming it's based on perceived safety and less need to take his eyes off the road. Granted, he took a long time getting a smart phone because

Going for practical advice: Did you try to find those in person resources for your mother? If so, how did you locate them? Obviously those details are going to vary by area.

This is what I was looking for. Look for a school of the blind, ask the doctors/hospitals for local resources, etc. There's a strong community of people who have already helped other going through this. If you're really not f

He already had 100k in other accounts, and not just retirement savings. He was a safe bet.

My wife seems to think that pork is always dry. She'll occasionally go for pulled pork (crockpot cooked). Do you have any other suggestions? Especially if they are potentially kid friendly. She's not a fan of fatty recipes eithe

Surface water in the desert ... that could easily backfire. I think a related idea that might be more appropriate is requiring drainage areas that slow water flow and increase absorption.

Ah yes, the false dichotomy of the road less travelled. Fairly sure one of my friends in high school had an essay trashed for taking that stance. Then again, he was a minimalist with anything homework related, so it could have been justifie

Our company added designated buddies (generally senior assigned to junior) to assist with this for new hires. If they're stuck on a problem, you have someone set aside to ask questions too. If they don't know the answer, they pr

Not that familiar with the story, but isn't a hand pump likely equivalent or better than no clean water source? Unless they removed something better, that sounds like a reasonable degradation of functionality, in that it still provides

Good point ... paying down my mortgage faster is a fairly poor use of the funds. However, if it can be used for regular payments or prepayments over a period of time, it's not a bad deal. I'd hope they'd also make exceptions

Without the number of patients, this number is fairly meaningless. The hospitals can be and often are huge.

#3 doesn't seem to correlate well with being able to interview/meet with team members, unless hiring takes priority over emergencies, etc. Then again, with enough bodies that should be possible to do without much of a hit.

That is begging for a story, although I'm guessing the summary might be more entertaining.

You weren't representing yourself as a lawyer, with them or in court. I'm assuming that's both the potential problem and the work around.

The easier approach to try first is just to plant it on the shady side of something that grows tall. Mine did much better this year mulched and growing in the shadow of tomatoes, cucumbers etc. I also confirmed that I've got too much
