I second going to a PT, but I went through a number of PTs before I found one that actually knew about referred pain and trigger points and specifically worked on treating those in addition to strengthening. Just doing strengthening only ma

There is a device that worked wonders for massaging my forearm muscles: The "Arm-Aid": https://armaid.com/ It was not a panacea by any means, but even though I'm fully recovered from my RSI today, I still pul

I thank "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook" and the PT that recommended it to me for finally breaking the cycle and beginning my recovery after 6 years of severe RSI. Learning about trigger points have also helped me self-treat m

Whenever random folks post climate change articles, I like to point them to the official IPCC reports. ;-) The executive summary of the last assessment report is at https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg1/ . It&#x2

Yeah I got to that, too, and it's not correct. A given CO2 level basically determines the temperature at which the Earth will be in net radiative equilibrium between heating and cooling. The Earth can't simply continue heating up

Exactly. Extraneous, useless, information is not no-value, it's negative-value, because of this.

It's also very dependent on personal adaptation. If you've always lived in an airconditioned space then you're not used to dealing with the heat. The previous owners likely were, and consequently were less bothered by it.

That's a cool family project! However, assuming that you're only collecting data where e.g. you live, I think you're collecting weather data, not climate data. Climate refers to global averages. This may sound like a nitp

Yeah the latter is the nail in the coffin for my argument when it comes to the United States of America. Many other countries do have the individual right to vote written into their constitutions, though.

by lutorm 7y ago
The degree seems pretty large, though, since it's the difference between an unclearly worded constitutional amendment that does not in any plain reading say that "buying a gun" is a constitutional right, to literally the righ

Voting is a constitutional right, forming a corporation or getting a library card is not.

I think apart from the energy release there are few similarities with a nuclear explosion (no EMP, no radioactive fallout) plus I have to imagine any air defense radar system could detect the incoming asteroid in its final moments.

by lutorm 7y ago
The degree of gravitational focusing depends on the speed of the incoming object, but I seem to recall that for typical interplanetary velocities it's of order 1, ie not huge.

Except that just because you're bad at taking care of your health, it does not follow you should spend less time on it. You'll still die early. What you're saying only makes sense if you're talking about things that are

Given the prevalence of construction-initiated fires and the risk of fire in that space, I'm really surprised they even allowed smoking there.

Exactly. An observer in space can see a solar eclipse on the surface of the Earth just like we can see lunar eclipses. Like https://youtu.be/rwNc5aK3dBk

Space travel is not "safe", period. If you decide to go into space, you should be aware that you're exposing yourself to significant risk. The question is: what risk are you willing to accept? You may still be right about you

I think the idea is that the system is never intended to be depressurized once it's pressurized, so you don't need a check valve, you just need something to prevent backflow before the system is pressurized.

Well, flying paying passengers in scheduled airline traffic and taking astronauts to space have different definitions of "man rated". As they should.

Well "classic" water hammer doesn't involve the water igniting with the pipe material... ;-)

by lutorm 7y ago
When you ignite metals in the presence of pure oxidizer, though, the result is not so much a "fire" as an explosion. It doesn't really "look" different than any other explosion...

Green Sands Beach on the island of Hawai'i is a big tourist attraction. So, yeah, it seems fine for recreation. (Except it won't be cool anymore if every tropical beach is green...)

That doesn't really explain why you need a 3d model, though. If there was no important vertical process, you could get away with not resolving it. However, vertical heat transport is the entire game since the lower atmosphere is opaque

Ah sorry. Safety-wise EAB has a slightly worse accident record than certified small airplanes, but not much. The majority of the accidents are due to pilot error, so it's not clear the type of aircraft makes a difference there. Perform

To qualify as an "experimental/amateur-built" aircraft (which is the official FAA designation for these planes), the majority (ie > 50%) of the work must be done by amateurs. This means, in particular, that the kit itself

A new Cessna 172 is just north of a quarter million dollars, it seems. Experimental/amateur-built aircraft are the fastest growing segment of aviation, precisely because it represents a fairly affordable avenue for getting into flying.

Some people just enjoy telling other people what to do.

No, whether it's a crime depends. Is it a crime to teach people how to pick a lock?

True, there are planes that compress the struts before retracting the gear for the gear to fit, so perhaps something like this could be designed for the 737 too? But that's increased complexity on a non-redundant part that you definite

What ends up being "faster" doesn't just depend on travel speed though. It also depends on startup costs. The startup cost for biking can be higher than a car (if you need to carry the bike out from your apartment) but also t
