You are not continuously occupying your home for 22+ years. It might feel like it during the pandemic but you regularly leave. You probably take 2-4 weeks off per year without worrying about if it's going to still be there. If your bat

Most components of ISS were brought up by shuttle. It will need to be disassembled and brought down by the next generation of shuttle. I don't think it was designed for controlled re-entry. And dismantling it for re-entry is going to g

ISS has been running continuously for 22 years. Most earth based housing doesn't even have that level of uptime. If it were a cruise or cargo ship it would have been in and out of drydock 5-7 times. It's extremely difficult to hav

So what happens if a "civilian" fails the attitude test? Also, quit with the civilian crap. Cops are civilians too. If they want to play special forces join the military.

I'm purely guessing here. But roads are owned by different government agencies: federal, state, county, municipal, HOAs, and private. And those different agencies might have different ideas on how they want funding. If you drive primar

Take Apple for example, out of the 600+ jobs posted on their career website only 19 even mention students. And some of those are actual student jobs: student outreach, student recruiters. If they have a different pipeline for recruiting stu

LOL. I wish the government gave 0-interest loans. As it stands in the US, Stafford Loans are higher than most car loans [3.73% undergrad, 5.28% graduate, 6.28% PLUS]. Costs are skyrocketing despite government loans. It's not the workin

There are a lot more people of color trying to break into the field than there are companies willing to hire them. There is a big difference between what they are saying and what they are implementing and I can say with absolute confidence

The primary driving force was nativism. Even right up to the end the UK wanted to remain in the common market, but part of being in the common market is freedom to migrate. It also exposed the loss of influence the UK had in the EU. Many pr

Psychologically, I think I understand. Selecting a peer over you means they were slightly more qualified than you, it could happen to anybody. Selecting an outsider means you weren't even remotely considered. And if they aren't se

Maneuvering around congested streets I agree is a judgement call that humans and computers can get wrong. Not hitting stationary objects doesn't take a supercomputer to solve it.

I'm sorry but the general computer called your brain is not like the purposebuilt computer of Autopilot. 12 is too many for a computer who's only job is to literally look at the road and drive.

Honestly, you should leave. Everything is hot for developers right now. If they aren't recognizing your efforts, they will after you're gone.

We have great pictures and videos of our time at sea. But one of the things I could not photograph was bioluminescence at night. I assumed phytoplankton was fairly spread out, globally. But one of the most active areas we sailed in was off
