Astronauts and physicists are separate categories of human. Obviously those who thrive on danger and those who thrive on puzzles are different. Though, it could be risky to present such an upfront contradiction to someone with an establishe

So then, why did Stannis fail? He was too worried appearing powerful, preferring either Seaworth or Missandei to speak for him? A Song of Ice and Fire is based upon simple observations about politics, yet I doubt ever increasing centralizat

You're integrating AI and data management? Sounds promising for your case. For one, it's highly improbable that we're not moving towards some type of tool which would manage a person's data -- be it a spreadsheet, or jus

Fortunately water in non-compressible and has surface tension, the only real issue seems to be water vapor. I don't understand how modern hard drives are not helium proof. Apparently, everything is a permeable solid.

I don't think evasion is illegal, it isn't the same as draft dodging.

I suppose Robert Moses is the wrong man to bring up, though maybe my argument is flawed and should be totally ignored. I take it that you're taking that approach. Given the direction this argument is heading, perhaps urban planning cou

It takes the same time for an armored division to travel from coast to coast as it would for a legion to march across the Roman Empire, at least a week. Inertia isn't the problem, failure to take responsibility is. Although it does see

Beyond how that is contradictory, are you saying that the vendor is providing a non-mainline version of Linux that can't be updated because the driver API will be broken upon update? Or am I misunderstanding you?

Feels more polished? I absolutely do not understand that, some of the more social media friendly Pi projects involve building cluster file systems with them. Seems very nitty gritty to me. What's deviating from stock GNU/Linux? Ad
