We can’t even make radio waves that travel that far. Our best radio telescopes focused on something near that we suspect might have life don’t have enough power for us to think they can be received by an arbitrarily advanced civilization on the other end (assuming there is that happens to be listening when the signals arrive). And that is stars in our own subarm of the milky way.

Space is just bigger than you can imagine.

Sort of - but there is no reason to think we will ever be able to make something that won’t break. Even intersellar is questionable just because the odds of the ship breaking in the time needed are too high.

you can’t fathom it because you were raised that way. Different parents / society and you would call those normal and partake.

there have been too many through history to think it is anything else.

Fad. Someone started doing it, and it caught on so no everyone does. The iPod started the iEverything phase. A local car dealer near me uses NameTube.com because they decided they needed a website about the time youtube got a lot press. There are many more things over the years that became a fad for a while, and there will be more.

ML is run by people who are not only communist, but also communists can do no wrong, capitalists can do no right. Just being communist most of us could live with, but the second is a problem. When someone cannot agree things like genocides that various communist governments are a bad it is really hard to have productive conversations.

Arms and legs allowed in are still really bad. You can’t run fast in snow, and you are more likely to trip.

I read it for a while a few years ago, I don’t remember how far I got it. I do remember realizing that it was just a “number go up for both the hero and the monster” - nothing was really changing/new anymore even though there were more words. A good read for a while, but it gets tedious after a while and so I stopped. There are too many other books our there that are much better. A large part of better is the authors just wrote “the end” when they ran out of original ideas.

In some cases. However most often when there is a stack trace it is because something I didn’t expect happened - I can’t tell you how we got there or how to correct it because if I knew I would have just had the code do that in the first place. If the error is something the user did though I’d expect a clean error message.

Yes. My town was 5k people in 2000, 20k in 2020, and expected to be over 100k in 2030. Everyone is trying to get into the grab. People who move in are more likely to find a new bank, so the banks want to be here early to get the customers.

Gas stations are not something people are loyal to, but they still need to go in to support all the people moving into a car centric environment.

What broke? If it was a GNU ism that wouldn’t work on *BSD either, than it is your own stupid fault. There are other linux distros that also don’t use the gnu core utils that would break things do.

Note that those are minimums. The pilots I know try to be well above the minimums as a personal rule. Landing without fuel is something they practice in the simulator, not something they ever want to try in real world conditions.

And how much power can you even get from a solar panel in a typical outside environment where you’d freeze to death?

Day or night? As a kid we used to heat with wood - every morning I’d wake up and start the first and then take my shower… The fire was out by 9am, but the house was noticeably warmer at 12 than 9am anyway from solar, and we didn’t need to light the night fire until 7-8pm (the sun went down around 4pm), and it would burn on low all night.

The coldest days tend to also be clear skies. Cloudy days did not get nearly as much solar heat, they needed less, but we would have to light a fire again at noon to get through the day.

Which is to say you can get more than enough solar to save your life if there is a reasonable amount of insulation in the car if it is daytime - but it wouldn’t be enough to get through the night when you need the heat most.

The drinks that major sports teams use are designed to be exactly what is needed for that sport, and only contain sugar if nutritionists (and other real scientists) say it is needed, and then only in the amount needed. Different sports have different needs, and so will get different drinks (if there is enough money in the sport to pay scientists to design it).

The sports drinks you buy in the store share only the name/logo with the above drinks.

Unions work depending on how ‘in it together’ you feel.

If you resent the people standing around doing nothing they start to fail. If you resent the people who do worse work than you for the same pay they start to fail. note that on an assembly line the above isn’t possible in the first place - which is why they work great there. (Bus drivers and police are also not really measureable like that)

that depends on the pilot. it doesn’t apply to bold pilots. There are bold pilots and old pilots - but no old and bold pilots.

In practice that is zero - you are not allowed to take off unless you have enough fuel to fly for an hour after landing. flying is safe in large part because of hard learned rules like this.

Ask my wife. I’ve followed dozens of direction, none work for me - I get the peel and half the egg white off. She manages to get a nice peel every time.

i don’t think it is genetic, but whatever it is nothing works.

From looking at history this seems confined to one generation - in 1950 the “ideal family” was a man going to work 9-5, and the women staying home to cook/clean. For a while it even worked out that way for a lot of people, but over the 1960s there was a culture revolution and women started working, while men learned to help. This process is continuing on.

Look longer over history though you see that in almost all cultures men would regularly get into situations where there were no women around to cook. Hunting, or working in the field all day often meant men and women were separated and so men had to cook for themselves if they were to eat. (women between 15 and 40 were regularly pregnant or nursing a baby - men cannot do these things, and they limit what a woman can do so some activities become men’s work.) Not to mention war which typically was mostly men, though “camp followers” did cook for the army in some cases.

Which is to say, maybe your Grandpa didn’t cook. However that men in his generation didn’t cook was an outlier. Over history men and women both cooked.

Every car at a gas station has an exhaust system with temperatures well over the ignition point of gasoline. If there was a problem we would have to let our cars tool for half an hour a quarter mile away from the pumps before we pushed them there by hand.

fortunately gasoline only burns in a narrow range of mixtures which are impossible to get in open air.

That only sometimes works. Make sure you never go to that station again, and tell your friends. Buycotts work best if a lot of people boycott over a sustained period of time.

i now have an ev, so I can’t join anymore.
