In various industries, colors are used to differentiate between various voltages so it's obvious whether you're working with high voltage, low voltage, etc. so you can determine th…

Major General Anders, actually. O8 vs. O4.

I believe it's more the states with no state income tax at all plus those that have a state-provided version of "direct file" already available.

If those were the only records, you're probably correct, but there are sources other than the national archives that can be used in some cases such that I'd still do a search, espe…

For high level awards, there are some separate databases that list the recipients and citations. Have you looked at those? E.g. https://valor.militarytimes.com/award/5

Mastodon is federated, so users of their instance are able to interact with the wider set of Mastodon instances, much like people with @google.com emails can interact with people w…

Correct, this was the first direct-to-GEO launch, so they needed the extra dV to get there. Left nothing in the tank for a landing, so to speak.

Speaking of reference frames, I deal with quite a few for Earth-bound things, and the primary ones we use are ECEF (Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed) and ECI (Earth-Centered, Inertial),…

Maybe just a big fan of the Tim Allen movie?

Yeah, looks like it's been slashdotted. (Or whatever the appropriate verbing of an aggregation site is in 2022).

These days we just call it licensing Red Hat.

Very cool. Also, did you add that feature just in response to my question? As far as the download, is this equivalent to "Method 2" of downloading it via the built-in browser, so i…

This seems to be primarily talking about sending web articles. How does it work with SE Books? Are you able to do it wirelessly while still maintaining the azw3 features given SE's…

I parsed it the way you did at first, but on second reading, I believe it could be rephrased to "the work of 100 engineers simultaneously attempt" to make it clear the simultaneity…

In case anyone is wondering, since it was a photo op flight, there's a photo of it shortly after the midair collision, missing a vert stabilizer. The fireball is the F-104 that con…

Raspberry PIs have had a similar thing with VC-1 and MPEG-2 decoding requiring a small fee for about a decade now. In this case, to cover the patent licensing cost so as to not add…

lxd has only been available by snap in ubuntu for a couple major versions.

Right, he denied the TRO, but that doesn't change the prior ruling regarding the accuracy of the tweet. Also "accuracy of the tweet" is a horrible thing to have to be debating in a…

Because he keeps going around saying that in public, there was a recent request for a restraining order to stop him from repeating it since it poisons the jury pool. It quoted the …

Yeah, after asking my earlier question, a quick google found the 2006 driver's manual which indicates you must be a KY resident, and discussed the road test. https://transportation…

When was that? KY requires a road test now. Also, it requires you to prove KY residency. I'm surprised people were able to get KY licenses without being residents before.

Do you have experience with the Alabama AG office not responding to a consumer complaint? A quick google indicates both an online form and a phone number specifically for contactin…
