You can enjoy living in a city but also enjoy outdoorsy pursuits. TTS is a measure of your ability to do both. It can also be a measure of the maximum size of city you enjoy. There are people who like cities but still wouldn't want to

This is a great problem to have, if (IME) rare. Step 1 Understand the System helps you figure out when tests can be eliminated as no longer relevant and/or which tests can be merged.

Forgive the dumb question... it's been ages since I've done Amiga programming in C. What behaves differently? Is the lower K of memory mapped, such that null pointer deferences cause excitement rather than simply crashing your pro

Yes. They were installed many decades ago and haven't been replaced because a) it would be extremely expensive to do so and b) there are additives which AIUI prevent or at least significantly reduce leaching. I'd be shocked if the

In my high school, English class existed to teach you to do two things - read books and write essays. No other class cared about both things (individually or separately). Kids need to do both, so emphasizing one over the other does them a d

Great. So he's well-motivated to dig up and publicize hitherto-unknown (or barely-known) shenanigans from Forbes etc al, and he knows where to look. If he wasn't going to investigate this, who would? CNN? USA Today?

The book ending ("and then they gave up") put me off so much that I never bothered finishing the TV series. Given that, any thoughts on how I might find the TV series ending?

That's true, but NYC still ships trash all over the place: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/8714ca7999a64704b59721c... At the end of the day it has to go somewhere, and there's no room for it in the five

The photos are gorgeous. The first one, of the motor disassembly area, has a bridge crane (labeled M-23) with a 1-ton capacity?? I didn't realize bridge cranes that size went that low.

I doubt they're being creative. Far more likely they're locating the charging port based on the needs of the vehicle's internal layout. Or to be consistent with the manufacturer's standard, which was likely set by the ne

Two things. First, the time of friction is important. Pretty much all friction points with vehicle ownership are distributed throughout the year, *and are amortized across all uses of the vehicle*. When you want the vehicle to haul the mul

The value is that (ideally) they've asked around and figured out how half a dozen peer firms do what you're struggling with. So while they may not have solved your management problem personally, they can give you an idea of what&#

The article is pretty terrible all around. You have to get to the last sentence before they throw in the detail that it's not actually an Ironman race -- it's a half-iron. I wouldn't mind it so much in a general-interest sour

Universal Florida does this really "well" with their Hagrids ride. There's an outside part, then you wander around in a room, and only then discover the real line -- the three days you'll spend wandering around in tunnel

The idea is that you can keep them in your lap, which tends to be a more relaxed position than actively gripping the wheel. It may not be your thing, which is fine. But I do a 10hr road trip a few times a year, and personally would see a be

"Don't have to firmly grip the steering wheel" is a thing. You're supposed to keep your hands loosely on the wheel, following along while the car takes the lead on turning the wheel. The Ford thing is "hands in your

Adaptive cruise control is automatic speed adjustment, with you doing the steering. This adds automatic steering and removes the need to keep your hands on the wheel. Hands-free is the big differentiator from existing lane-keeping systems.
