No, your comparison is probably not what you're trying to say, since wheelchair-bound people have vastly different capabilities than the bipedal population. Unless you're trying to say women have different capabilities, which is t

Yes, but the rocket is still being a rocket, and after it leaves the tube, it'll still toss a ton of exhaust at the bike. I know it's designed to be fired stationary, but this discussion is about the feature allowing it to be fire

Not to mention the blast from the missile after it leaves the tube, and the aerodynamic effects. I've fired a 9mm pistol from a moving motorcycle, and it's already tricky to maintain balance. Can't imagine this wouldn't

Maybe the best analogy would be speed running a video game and then suing the developer because you didn't get the "estimated playtime" listed on the box. You're abusing the product, it will not perform to spec.

I'd happily believe that the oldest process is likely the ideal, especially combined with my anecdotal evidence that Georgian wine is wonderful stuff, and does not give me a hint of a headache.

And that's your bias speaking, since my statement is factual. It's perfectly normal, and you can accept that my meaning and your interpretation can be wildly different, therefore accusing me of the worst possible interpretation is

But it's the literal truth, and using a descriptor on a group of people acting does not attribute the action to all people who fit the descriptor. Not all mammals are dogs, and that shouldn't need to be said.

That may very well be your own bias. If I say "Christian Communities hate gays", you'll probably think of one or two specific communities. When I saw "Jewish Communities" in gp's headline, I immediately thought

"Jewish Communities" doesn't mean "All Jews", and that's obvious to anyone not looking for a reason to be angry. Muslim communities just bombed the hell out of Israel, and that's not islamophobic to say, b

This is a brilliant experiment. Argentina already has an awful economy, and if this fixes everything, then we have a template to perhaps fix some other economies. Deregulation is good for GDP, but is complete deregulation better? Let's

Hot-staging is amazing tech. It's odd how Russia is so good at rocket science. Until Falcon, they had the highest thrust-to-weight engine, Soyuz is insanely reliable at this point, and they generally just punch above their financial we

Manley's fluid hammer theory from rapid shutdown is compelling. Also would explain the large vapor clouds; plumbing exploded.

Whoa, thank you for the comprehensive answer. I reach for Lyme since it's one of the most common and under-diagnosed diseases in this category, but you are definitely in your own category here. Good luck, having something outside the r

Agreed. One place, the team lead actually acted like an EM, then decided he'd rather code and stepped back. Then I got a garbage EM.

I can't say I've ever had an EM who made anything simpler or easier. I have had team leads and staff engineers who did. Maybe I'm just missing out. @vrosas' comment about localized HR reps is apt--there for the company

I think this is the longest-running game of code golf (maybe golf is the wrong term) I've ever seen. The state trick feels almost out of place in a BASIC-esque language, but I love it.
