Do fresh NSA recruits have to go in a gas chamber, keep their bunk clean, get a super-short haircut, eat what is served, and do lots of push-ups? I think "not military" fits pretty well.

Yep. Unless you check the gonads and the DNA on both sides, any explanation will be uncertain. I note that birds use the WZ sex system, which is like the opposite of the mammalian XY sex system. Males are ZZ. Selective silencing of genes on

Restarting production, long after all the workers have been laid off and moved to other cities, would take decades. If those workers don't keep working, the capability is lost. The timeframe for recovery makes this dangerous.

Some babies learn to fake choking. They know what gets attention fast.

Have some advice from this experienced dad with 12 kids: the baby tub is a poor way to clean a baby. The water instantly gets disgusting from poo or whatever it is you are trying to remove, and then that gets all over the baby. Plus the bab

That situation is choice, pure and simple. You appear to be some sort of web or database developer, or possibly a system administrator. You can afford to support a family. The problem is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

My "millionaire" grandma in the middle of San Francisco would literally die from those options. She is fragile due to age. Her house is familiar to her. Familiarity reduces stress, confusion, and accidents. She is close to family.

The info was available to me back in 1992. Somebody at your high school, typically called a "guidance counselor", would have it. It was available in a thick paperback book. I could also use an Apple II program if I preferred. From

No, there isn't one universal requirement. Some examples: No language needed: Florida Institute of Technology, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Either 2 years in high school or 2 semesters in college, your choice: a STEM degree in

If the cause is environmental then that means the environment changed, and environmental change causes a change in selection.

You haven't met every 12-year-old. I have a daughter that fit his description, both body and mind, except she wasn't seeking a boyfriend. At 12 she was taking college classes, getting only "A" grades. Nobody suspected a

There isn't any "chemically extracted" seed oil, at least not with a chemical reaction. The use of a chemical reaction is indicated by "interesterified" or "hydrogenated". That isn't used for extracti

We tried "block the oil and coal supply routes" with Japan. The result was an attack on Pearl Harbor. They did lose, eventually.

It would make violating a border only a bit easier than jumping off a plane. Unless you literally jumped off, by popping open an emergency exit, there wouldn't be a difference. Gate D7 is a jetway, gate D8 is an elevator down to the tr

This sort of connection should be done by rail that stops within the security perimeter. Rail trips would get flight numbers. You wouldn't touch your luggage.

It's an 8 GiB machine with an SSD. I open lots of tabs, in lots of browser windows, on lots of virtual desktops, but so what if I do? It's still unacceptable to lock up. If I visit a specific web site with a memory abusive app, th

It was nice when the OS was 64-bit and multi-threaded, but the browser was not. The browser couldn't grab more than 1 CPU and 4 GiB.

That would be nice. Reality: the task manager will not open because there is not enough RAM. Simply moving the mouse pointer can become impossible. Attempting to close a window goes like this: estimate the mouse movement needed, carefully m

OK, but the situation still looks shameful. What exactly prohibits a web site from consuming all my RAM? I have never once seen a browser make a misbehaving site wait (frozen with no CPU) for me to confirm that sucking up more RAM is accept

I wouldn't put it that way. They work for some people. Those people are the only people willing to live in cities. Thus it seems that "they work in dense cities" but that is only with the exclusion of many people.

It's been horrible for me. The pandemic means classes are virtual/online. That means kids need computers with internet connections and modern web browsers. That means games, stupid videos, games, chat, games, and more games. I&#x2

Hershey's chocolate was like that on day 1, about 120 years ago, because they wanted to use milk without having to keep the supply refrigerated. Lipolysis of the milk fat produces butyric acid, which does taste a bit like vomit or parm

It is the leather too, which is cured with truly horrible chemicals. Think about why your seats don't just rot like any normal animal skin would. That's the formaldehyde and hexavalent chromium.

Yes, in a single-family zoned, suburban community. The proposal was to add more people there, presumably without also adding a 24x7 subway system. It would be immensely unfair to the people who purchased homes with the expectation that plen

It's about 80 people, all posed for the photo. There is a desk in front of them, sitting on cobblestone pavement. Many of the people have bow ties and beards. I think about 4 of them are women, so it is about 95% male. It's a blac

What about the fair share of on-street parking? A normal home will have 1 to 3 cars, but most likely they go in a garage or driveway. The street is mostly left for visitors. There is room for a friend, a grandma, a kitchen renovator, a pool

Yes they have to pay market rates. Suppose they don't. They declare the job to be worth $2/hour, which they can do because minimum wage is just a law the government can change. Nobody takes the job. Now what? Those job openings go

Use it for class rank, replacing GPA. Being the best in a given classroom is a win, being at the median is a tie, being at the bottom is a loss. This would help with the problem of people avoiding harder classes due to GPA fear.
