Not the OP, but as I live in a "lifestyle city" (Knoxville, TN) there are several middling big cities that are in close proximity to activities (hiking, climbing, skiing, beaches, etc). Pretty sure the cities the OP was referring

I don't think it's about observing the filament directly, just that the filament basically being a spring is more susceptible to vibrations which would change the amount of light emitted. I am totally guessing at that, but it seem

I also live in the city to go to museums, art galleries, the symphony, plays, comedy shows, concerts, restaurants, happy hours etc. I have no interest in living outside the city and I especially have no interest in maintaining a house. And

It's doable. Wife and I have done it for literally 23 years. With 4 kids. Granted, after year 3 (and kid 2) I was making entry level developer money, but here in the south 18 years ago that was a long way from FU money. We made sacrifi

My employer provides me (and other remote employees) all the equipment needed to work from home. Laptop, Docking Station, Monitors and Keyboards. But you are right about the corporate BS.

There's a registry setting to turn that off thank God. I LIKE Windows 10, but that particular "feature" is a no go for me.

On. I appreciate a company that isn't going to waste two days of my time with a succession of people asking the same questions over and over. Also, I want to meet my potential co-workers so I can decide if I want to work there.

I agree, and having been the volunteer runner of my kid's middle school computer clubs (and occasional stand-in teacher) I think the best way to teach computing is not with computers, but with pencil, paper and classroom simulations. W

I honestly don't know what a "deep" question sounds like. Is there a list of topics that fall into that category somewhere?

So, how do you get the phone to know whether or not you are driving or merely a passenger?

In automotive parlance it is fuel cell... ie a cell to hold fuel. That's just what they're called.

I would love to understand their reasoning for not making the tank as large as absolutely possible though. Maybe not worth the extra cost of all the work required to absolutely fill the trunk with fuel? 22 minutes spent refueling is incredi

I'm with GF's Dad on this one. You're just a boyfriend, not even a fiance. You're not part of the family...yet. Non family members don't get to be in family photos. Event photos, yes, but not family ones.

Heh. We used to use this technique in the Military Police. Speeding tickets on base (at that time in Germany) did not result in a fine. They resulted in what amounts to the person's commander getting a notification and then deciding wh
