Silverfish are beautiful! In my floorboards, or my bookcase, they are not a good sign... but they're so cute! And so ancient - primeval, even. Providing they stick to the back yard I can appreciate them.

For what it's worth, I sail and the average other sailboat I meet is sailed solo by an older guy. A small to medium coastal cruiser/overnighter type seems to be the sweet spot, can be easier to single-hand than many kinds of dingh

Sorry, can't think of any more funny ones right now. 4KSB is a Sailing Anarchy-ism; the same kind of boat is for some reason a MAB in the UK - a Manky Auld Boat. I take exception to that one.

:-D At risk of personally identifying information... I guess I did volunteer this one. I knew not many people pick a day in mid December to go sailing. I didn't know I'd be the only one out, the day they were doing a massive drugs

I'm assuming you mean American Civil War... and I wouldn't rush to call it done, some of those sieges involved a lot of big ammunition and there might be more out there. Impressive it was dry enough to go up, though, gunpowder soa

I dunno. I'm pretty sure the lack of barriers to entry, inconvenient and costly certification, and safety nannying helped windsurfing get ahead there too. That and dinghy clubs inevitably devolve into race clubs that revolve inexorably

It's not "gone" as if evaporated; it has been murdered by the certification requirements. The odds of a random stranger dying from a light aircraft falling on them are trivial, several orders of magnitude less than the odds o

Wouldn't the mass change cause some kind of detectable change in the satellite's trajectory over time?

I know the stuff. I wasn't clear, and was asking, quite what the parent poster is mentioning people getting here as it didn't sound quite like the forms of this service I'm aware of - I'm not sure there is something like

That sounds like "being responsible for a building'. Buy a seagoing boat sometime to play this game on hardmode :-D

...you don't need a (relatively) expensive single sideband set and radio-nerd tendencies to pick up weather data offshore where you live? That is pretty great if so. Would that there were more of it.

Why is it a bad thing for him to die where he has chosen to live and die? (assuming he actually has, which is really not something I'd bet too hard on, on the strength of one video). Why do you suggest it's a bad thing if nobody k

Gosh. I used to have pretty good night vision and recognise what you mean about "see based on the noise floor" - but I never had an experience like seeing the stovetop heat. Remarkable. I wonder how much variation there is between

Thank you, this is a really clear way of explaining it and a careful reading would be helpful to lots of people who think this is something it isn't.

The way it's constructed is very impressive but it doesn't (to the best of my knowledge and understanding) have the concept of "this is correct and this is incorrect" that you have - or any kind of analogy to it whatsoev

Thanks! So - midi velocity translates to PWM and hence solenoid force? Cool. You can always add some kind of mapping function if lower velocities are too low force. Nice work. (old pre-electronics player pianos could do dynamics but most re

wow, if that is all true then vertical farming is even less relevant to this scenario than I thought. I'm not sure I'm qualified to check your figures and I suspect some of your assumptions are more pessimistic than mine, but the

Very nice work! How does it (does it at all?) control how hard it hits from one note to the next? What does the striking - solenoids?

How many of these vertical farms do we have? How long do they take to build? What do they cost to run?

Ah, a Ricardian! Splendid!

Entirely agree. To be honest, I think it rather marvellous that people were able to imagine, then reason about, so much precision so long before any physical representation of it was possible. The Babylonians could calculate to a ten thousa

It's undeniably shitty behaviour from the Goo but I'm increasingly getting the message that the only sane attitude is detachment from anything I posted in some past , more naive age. Scribe on vellum or linen rag that which is for

I'm making an amused speculation rather than trying to represent someone else as having said it, and while I'm not seriously advocating it I wouldn't mind giving it a try. So no, not the straw man fallacy.

As far as I know they have to be pretty desperate to eat people. Poor things. Unfairly maligned.

We should really be encouraging wolves in areas with too many bureaucrats, rather than areas with ponies. I appreciate most of these areas are urban but foxes do fine there, so why not wolf packs?

wow, I never contemplated before whether that kind of language design could be evil, but you make me think it might be. Maybe not in the ordinary course of sensible use, but in some horrible "I didn't think of that". Then I f

I'm finding this hard to relate to. Our circumstances and experiences must be pretty different. But I'm afraid to me that sentence reads a bit like "I have a lathe so I don't need a bicycle". You or I might not do b
