A track saw is a great option for long straight cuts. As with any tool you can find inexpensive to very expensive options. The cheapest option is to use a straight edge with a normal handheld circular saw. Next up are jigs that attach to a

Intentionally moving a broken stick to block or possibly block the puck is also a penalty. It is one of the more "judgment call" type calls a ref can make.

That is an interesting thought. Settling a puck is a skill that all players have to develop at some point. Nothing is worse than having a perfect shooting opportunity but the puck is on edge and you end up sending the puck off in some wild

The taping method is very player specific. For example, I like to tape from about an inch from the toe all the way back to the heel. Others, like just a few wraps near the toe. For me, a hole in the blade would have no aero benefits but for

My understanding is that the expansion of space/time can exceed the speed of light because space time is what light travels through. Nothing says that two points can't move apart faster than the speed of light, just that informati

Fusion 360 is a good option. CAD and CAM in one package. It is more complex than SketchUp but still accessible to someone that is not a drafter.

Mostly related to your line of inquiry, the point on land that is furthest from the center of the Earth is Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador.[1] It is located one degree south of the equator and is very tall to begin with. [1] https://

You are right that a good kick will usually do the trick. However, a good bite to the calf from a goose, even with pants on, can be very painful. As a kid we had some domestic geese and the male was some sort of demon creature with serious

I agree with you. This will change the election narrative a lot. Pre-covid, the major issues were looking to be gun control, taxes, and health care. Now it will be just health care and recovering the economy. In my opinion, universal health

That is going to be a tough but to crack. Crash statistics are tricky because they are either underreported or very infrequent. Two good resources for just about anything traffic related are ITE [1] and TRB [2]. [1] https://www.i

This is one of the most important use cases I can see for self driving cars. As it is, on demand transit is expensive and in rural areas not the most frequent. For example the northern portion of Montana has a very low population spread out

The rationale I have heard is that a single car could be used to make a multiple chained trips instead of multiple cars making multiple trips. This is the same idea behind ride sharing. I feel this breaks down with privately owned vehicles.

I am a traffic engineer and one of the things that I do regularly is write 10 year traffic plans for small to medium sized cities, think 60,000 people max. When a lot of the self driving hype was really kicking off, I was told to make sure

A thought I had while reading about this was what is the limit to upscaling via this method? By that I mean if one where to just keep upscaling and had a monitor capable of displaying the image, how long until the image became unrecognizabl

Why should students get free parking? It is a choice to use the parking facilities (those with mobility issues aside). I am in favor of parking rates being based on commute distance. If you live within a reasonable walking distance, say two

This really depends on the state. In Montana, for example, it is a legal requirement that parking is funded separate from the rest of the school. This means that no tuition can pay for new lots or enforcement. Fees gathered from normal park

This isn't just about astrophotography, this has to do with real science too. Remember, most science work is already on a tight budget and now they will have to waste some of that budget sorting through the added visual clutter.

Voter apathy and lack of knowledge on the issues is one of the biggest hurdles to direct democracy, in my opinion. Voter apathy could be combated through easier voting methods and by simply required voting. The lack of knowledge is a far mo

I can relate to that, I did live in a mountain town with some great local stores. However, I just moved to a larger city but further from the mountains and they have worse local options, at least that I have found.

Why not look for a local option for your gear? I understand that some equipment may not be available locally but surely you can find most of what you need. If their prices aren't competitive with online retailers, look at what else you

A rotary has higher speeds and entering traffic gets the right-of-way. They are very different from a roundabout.
