I think this is the case. A siege is just one scenario out of many where someone could be attacking you in a castle. I have also been in several castles in UK where the penultimate step before the roof is deliberately 1 inch higher than all

You say "Objectives and Key Results" I say "Pre-emptive Hierarchical Blamestorming" OKRs further entrench hierarchies in a way that is harmful to productivity and harmony. They allow for a whole middle layer of managemen

I think that both this and what the paper says can hold true. The paper is saying that from the point of view of the location, the distribution of effective distances traveled is invariant. So if you really like the 45min part of your city,

The hedge would have to be absolutely massive to hide the henge when you are heading West. The way the road dips down before you get to it means that you would easily see it over any normal size hedge. Even if the it's a fleeting glimp

I keep on pointing it out, because people for some reason miss it: The person you know as Jacob Rees-Mogg is a schtick. It was developed by a weedy kid to combat bullying at school. He later found it was generally useful in life because peo

In Flaubert's dictionary of received ideas, the entry for Aristocracy is simply "Despise and envy it". Which is a much more succinct way of writing this article.

My supervisor had a student who apparently just said "no" as her answer to each critique, 38 times. She got the level of fail which is "never ever come back" - which apparently does exist.

General amps seek to diminish distortion. In particular: 1. Clipping - an overly amplified signal can have the peaks of its signal "clipped" off. 2. Cross-over distortion - because of the way most amplifiers work, one part of the

Tube amplifiers are still where it's at for guitars. Still not beaten despite the attempts of digital signal processing. The reason is that the same thing that makes it a bad general amplifier makes it an excellent guitar amp.

Like I said, the number of deaths is not a good measure of contribution towards actual defeat. Sending punishment battalions to die in their hundreds of thousands was a Soviet choice, and not a good one. Allowing millions of men to be encir

If the organisation is big enough and dysfunctional enough, your absence will not be noticed for long periods of time. Just make sure whenever you are seen you have the appearance of being in a huge rush.

I would have thought atmospheric data that you can't get elsewhere - you'd be able to learn things about pressure and wind at altitudes that rovers can't get to.

I'd be interested to see if the LGN of the turtle is performing distinct functions to those of mammals. LGN is a super interesting component of the visual system - e.g. iirc people with dyslexia have morphologically distinct LGNs.

Many but not all :) - Some buddies of mine used to live in a student flat in Bristol that overlooked the TV Licensing Authority offices. My friends watched them go about their business over the top of their unlicensed TV for 2.5 years.
