Not in my experience (20yrs). If it's all-in-or-we're dead, you either do a stoppie and hope, or do a deliberate lowside and also hope someone will patch you up once they dislodge your parts from wherever you end up in. In either

It is quite hard to lock the front going straight. A [edit] stoppie while spectacular is a quite simple trick. I basically did a couple the second time I rode a bike. Unintentional at that. One can do a lowside, that is losing traction (not

Might be frowned upon, but it saved my life a few times. If you drop throttle on a belt or variator transmission.. well the belt slips. On a typical say japanese 600-ish cc with chain final drive, dropping throttle would not do 1/5 of

Actually no, overload is easily avoided even on cheap chinese 20-channel LTE base stations (aka tower segments) if all you do is just rotating SIMs and sending some SMS. Logically one would switch sms-sending using some number of (fixed or

I would just get a decent SDR like xtrx and some derivative of osmocom stack and then it's two antennas and however many sims you want. But.. this info is outdated, this stuff was available five years ago.

On a bike you have the front brake lever at the throttle on the right hand. You always, always have to have at least two fingers on the brake lever and control the throttle with the thumb and palm. It is completely irresponsible to ride not

There's Rosatom project in Bushehr, unit 1 operational and talks about building more. Iran's nuclear program is definitely not about power generation.

when I need a ton of whatever cut thin I just use a rotary slicer. a knife is for detail work like stripping meat. on bulk/speed/uniformity you cannot beat a slicer with a knife.

We all know what deprioritize means. But this is fine. I would like to put the emphasis on doing this consciously. This is the important point. Too many people just do not think or know what introspection is.

I'd say more like comments here: it's not high UV, it's high delta between actual UV flux and what one's skin was expecting. So pace it, like you would do when first starting lifting weights. The final tolerance is supri

Inaction is a manifestation of one of two things: ignorance, or conscious decision to not act. I agree that strictly only the latter can be considered an act, while the former .. well. Not an act, but a then the question arises if an uncon

IMO it all combines into confidence. Which you can't project so to say if you can not make yourself believe in your own lies for a moment, and charisma is just another name for confidence. Or hutzpah for that matter. Key point is to no

56th latitude person can be literally baked by northern mediterannean (~42 lat) March sun in a couple of days. But a couple months later.. no problems climbing mountains all day. We are very adaptable.

Inaction is an action in itself, they are right in this. IDK where you see a deep obsession in a recognition of this obvious fact.

Never ceases to amuse me how people tend to cling to a position unconsciosly, then try to rationalize this unconscios act. US and west are all about some perceived genocide, while inside Israel, half want to surrender to Hamas or whoever be

I guess we did release some. Mostly soot and half-burned hydrocarbons to be decomposed by solar UV. Still, thinking of all this just being buried for like 2e6 years ... that seems even more wrong.

Hah. We burned shavings/rejects from a polyester-resin+glass boat building.. in a 200L drum. That was quite smoky and smelly, but still I think better than just shipping it all off for burying in a landfill. And fiberglass decomposed b

This is bullshit. Radioactivity is exponential. If something is very active at start, it will fade quickly. If it is not, it is not dangerous to begin with. So whatever they do spend, they need to optimize instead of hiding from cost-cuttin

It's mostly same gameplay-wise. Fancier graphics, clunkier interface. K240 under Amiga emulator ran way better than original FA under dosbox until GOG or someone released pre-dosbox-ed version. This runs fine if you want to try.

If you so very want some mylar over carbon fiber put up in L1, and not ever launch that from Earth then Luna is the most obviously cheap and abundant source of whatever. No need for asteroids at all. Also the comms delay is 1.25s IIRC. I pe
