Its a bit ironic. Just this week Ive been doing the calculations for a converging diverging nozzle for work and I realized that I must be breaking the speed of sound everywhere around me anytime there is compressed air. It only takes a cham

Where in the US do you live that you have easy access to a 24 hour pharmacy? In my corner of the USA the only 24 hour pharmacy is in the children's hospital, about 15 miles away from my house. I have three hospitals with ERs within 5 m

Publix is the best. My wife's family used to work for them and the benefits were great. Free college tuition for one. Defined retirement. Very decent health care (better than a well known Southern multinational you've heard about

European carts are like that, but I dislike them. Four wheel steering solves a very nasty problem for Japan and Europe - need to turn on tight corners. Expensive real estate -> narrow aisles -> no room to maneuver the cart. Win for fo

Why would this be weird? The classical waves have an amplitude and phase, which is all the QM probability functions really are.

It does though. Any rocket that can go into leo can fall within a mile without trouble. And that's with 1950s guidance technology. Add modern controls and a SpaceX can crash into a site with 100 m no problem

If they have the physics package they don't need the codes. Those codes to deter a grunt or rogue commander. A place like Texas can easily make bombs out of the physics packages

I was expecting some hippie with unwashed, blonde, hair with mini bellas growing off her hair. I was a bit disappointed, although I guess biologically this is weirder.

That's fraud because you're in cahoots with your friend. If a random AC employee gave you a free flight, on the other hand, you'd be entitled to it. Anyway, the chat bot has no agency except that given to it by AC; unlike a h

The activity of water (a function of the chemical potential) in ketchup is very low. If the water activity of a food is low enough it'll keep without refrigeration. I don't know if ketchup's low enough to stay indefinitely, b

Raw chicken... from a specialized food supplier he trusts not to give him a carcass that had been festering in feces for a few days before packaging. Ya, I'll eat that raw chicken too!

This has all the trappings to be miserably boring. The story is long. In the middle of nowhere. Filled with weirdo boys cosplaying as yeoman intellectuals. I figured the story would take a dark turn, like a horror flick. Au contraire! This

I think what people don't fully appreciate is that the US will never allow Boeing to go bankrupt. A ecosystem around it is too important for the military industry. Worst case scenario they'll order 200 of the worst assembled 737s
