If the Hyatt walkway had been built as it was designed, I'm sure it would have worked fine. But was it realistic to build it as designed? The design called for something like 12 meters (12m is my estimate from it needing to span the

Instead of being passive aggressive with this psuedo-scoratic bullshit, why don't you just say outright what you mean? You're talking about covid. A global pandemic is a shitty excuse for these hyper-local phenomena. It&#x27

I hope they don't get into the habit of blackmailing politicians when the cause is just. For one, because Google's perception of justice may not always be right. For another, because once they get into that habit, once they hav

Maybe not, though a Mars colony might not have to run as a totally isolated system. Perhaps solar power could be used to extract oxygen from the rocks or something. It's definitely a tricky nut to crack though and I'm far from

I think genetics is actually the easy part. A few dozen or so people, selected for strong health, probably contain enough genetic material in their groins to start a colony. More would doubtlessly be better, but I think such things have b

When one of your 60 friends refuses to stop cheating, maybe stop inviting him to the party. Lots of games and lots of circles of gaming friends get on just fine without kernel-mode anti-cheat.

Sure... but I was responding to the assertion that the discrepancy in suicide attempts comes from suicide attempts being over-counted. I don't think that holds water.
