Is that really a thing? I always imagined they would just counterfeit the liner too.

Seems like somebody's a lover of our awful language! Made me laugh, thanks :)

This. We know for a fact that there's a huge gap in PPP between licensed and unlicensed sets. Unfortunately, without this distinction, the data is basically worthless.

Without any power, there's not much you can do. The area within 6 miles of Shelter Cove Airport is densely wooded and full of steep hills, on Google Maps I couldn't make out any suitable landing sites. It's probably safe to s

It's high time this issue gets sorted out by the courts and Schufa is finally forced to change their malicious business model.

Disabling autoplay is paramount. I've once tuned into my Chromecast to find my tablet had been autoplaying for a week and was in the middle of a long streak of middle-eastern folk music with guys playing the flute and dancing in a tent

The observable effect is true, but I don't think it squares. Circles below the ceiling in the middle of the room aren't perpendicular to the window as a light source. I see this mostly with one particular type of fly that just lov

So the costume was basically just a kink?

Thank you for the clarification. I suppose that explains it - as an engineer, I was naturally thinking of a pretty different kind of paper. I guess the same standards don't make sense for every field.

It really only makes sense if you relocate all mains connections to a power strip attached to the desk table, so there's only one cable moving.

A few years ago, our company purchased a hundred or so used height adjustable desks. I passed on the opportunity to get one, because I didn't see myself using it much and would have had to give up a lot of real estate. Anecdotally, I b

The avoidance of self-plagiarism isn't some kind of honour code for all aspects of life - it only applies to the specific case of a paper to submit for academic credit. The examples you describe have nothing to do with that, of course.
439.
by shmeeed 3y ago
Let's phrase it differently: how many times do you think one should be allowed to turn in the same piece of work for additional academic credit? The issue with self plagiarism isn't that you are quoting your own previous work (you

You seem to have a pretty strong but not necessarily very substantiated opinion about the topic. I really suggest you read a bit about it, if you're so inclined. E.g. Admiral Cloudberg has been mentioned in this thread, it's a ver

It shouldn't, but it has been many times in the past, OTOH in particular with Spanish speaking pilots or ATC miscommunicating. Given that JAL516 was a domestic flight, it probably was not the case here though.

I love the dry humour. This is a very rare gem from the tales of old that never seems to have gained much publicity. It's a shame this post got buried, I actually found it mentioned in another thread and tried to google for more info,

Your Planck-length-attention to detail seems to have failed to parse the "at least" part of the sentence, which by formal logic makes it correct again, doesn't it? By the way you're saying yourself that this scale has to

Of course most cases short of a severe hardware defect can be unbricked given the knowledge, time and means, that's not the question. I'm referring to the rising tendency on YT and social networks to call any software crash, DoS o

It bothers me to no end that the meaning seems to have changed (I've recently noticed that as well, and I blame it mostly on a sloppy usage of the term for clickbait). I get it, non-tech-savvy people don't see the difference - but
