Better to keep things running at a low level than fully idle I'd think. Even if the outputs are consumed by testing, development, or even just stockpiled. Lots of things can get lost by not making parts for a while,…
>By now, its battlefield lethality exceeds that of small arms and artillery shells. The war in Ukraine seems to be showing this to not be true. Drones are used as much as they are because they do not have enough…
Like piggies to the trough. There are plenty of things to criticize in procurement. I don't see this as a useful reaction or attempt to fix issues in a long term way.
Interesting, that looks too spendy for my taste honestly but I can see a way to justify it. I use a trackball for some of my CAD work but on another PC I sometimes have to check things in CAD, rather than real work, and…
Once you've traveled even a significant fraction of a mile in your living room I'm afraid you're likely dead or seriously injured.
Good point, I wasn't clear. The warning was about the systemic reaction inside the veins and arteries. Or something along those lines. Whatever it was the warning struck me as much more drastic than the usual allergic…
When I had mine I got the form with warnings about side effects. When I saw the allergic reaction I was a bit concerned, I asked the tech and was told it wasn't a big deal. Since I was in the basement I didn't have…
I remember when there was a big push to make ball point pen tips, and how a but less than 10 years later they succeeded in making them domestically.
What happens when the building sways multiple feet in the wind? We don't normally think about them moving, but for accurate positioning I'd think the additional distance to the beacon could be a problem.
With regard to the sections about beavers, I went to an event this year where a beaver scientist mentioned that many European settlers in North America showed up after beavers had been nearly extirpated by trappers. So…
There's a nearly 450 km photo of the Ecrins from the Pyrenees! https://beyondrange.wordpress.com/2016/08/03/pic-de-finestre... That's a cool thing to track, I've been surprised by the places I've seen the Seattle…
I live in one of the places in the lower 48 with relatively easy access to glaciers. The change in some of them is fairly noticeable for me over the last say 20 years. It tends to feel grim and helpless if think about…
The last time the blob persisted it led to sea Star and kelp death. And reduced salmon runs, and as a result stressed some of the orcas that ate those salmon typically. Also reduced the snowpack noticably.…
I'm trying to think the last time I saw one in use, last year or a couple years ago when there were large scale power outages. Of course the newer cards lack raised digits so I'm not sure how well they worked for…
Interesting, thanks. I'm changing docs/insurance and thinking about the tests I should be paying attention to.
Yeah I still occasionally get really long ads that must be just to see who watches all (most?) of them.
It is too bad the Rapidride R line is so far away from being finished. I think it would be good to have it and allow for more E/W routes possibly between there and the train. Having regular, quick bus service on the…
But a bus isn't just a bus, there are differences in what is needed in different cities. Some need heat, some need AC, some need both. In Utah there are buses that go up the canyons and they have gearboxes focused on…
I like the part: "You might ask 'Isn't folding by hand faster than building all this?' Please don't ask that." Showing a few of the crashes was a nice touch. Having gone too far in trying to automate some projects of…
I wonder if he would describe himself as a construction worker, or maybe he would say he's a surfer who does construction to make a living? Sometimes you can see a struggle to define a person independent of their jobs,…
Interesting to look back at yesterday's comments here and in other online spaces. People like jumping to the conclusions they've prepared for themselves.
Yeah, it seems hard to say military intervention is preferable to increased accounting and recordkeeping requirements. Or maybe sheltered is a better way to put. Which is a good thing! For most people alive on Earth…
Yeah, this happened with the shooting at the SLC protest earlier this year. A protestor with a gun was shot at by security, then accused of shooting the person who died. Open carry is allowed in Utah. Whether or not you…
There are some large dairy cooperatives in the US. I'm not sure how healthy they are as an outsider, in general I think agriculture is a good place for cooperatives. It looks like Michigan's milk producer cooperative is…
A saying I've heard a few places, including from farming friends, is farming is an industry where they buy at retail and sell at wholesale. Unfortunately most of the money in farming seems to be holding onto land until…
