It says McMurdo was powered by a nuclear reactor for 10 years (ending in 1972). Anybody know why they got rid of it? Edit: Wikipedia to the rescue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMurdo_Station#Nuclear_power_... "

Oh we absolutely do just buy them now through RapidSSL. It's all of those other reasons I wish LE supported them. I wouldn't mind paying LE for them, I want an API for requesting them, a simpler certification process, and easier r

Pretty fantastic. We're stationary for the winter with the RV in storage (my wife is working at a ski resort and I go skiing every couple days) but we'll definitely be back on the road come spring. Had 3 breakdowns this past year

We send all of our logs to CloudWatch Logs and then set up metrics for 200, 300, 400, and 500 http responses. It will graph all of them for you right in the console and you can add alerting if you need it.

AoE2 has been a staple of my entire family gamers and non-gamers alike for 20 years now. My ~50 year old parents played with my wife an I in a big 4 person game over Christmas. The updates have definitely improved the balance. Huns cav arch

The biggest problem with a space elevator on Mars is that the orbit of one of its moons is closer than the minimum height of a space elevator to be stable. Eventually the elevator cable will get hit.

It certainly starts out fairly hard scifi (with the only exception being Epstein drives) but takes a pretty sharp turn away from that as soon as the proto-molecule is out and about. It was hard for me not to put the book away and stop readi

Don't bash the Employee Stock Purchase Plan without getting more info though. Maximizing that and immediately selling (i.e. I never actually held my company's stock) netted me about $10k over the course of a year. The standard ESP
