> All pilots are limited to 200hp or less One of the more arbitrary and kinda pointless rules. Someone flying a 160 knot 200 hp Piper Arrow with a controllable prop and retractable…

> The only thing I don’t fully understand is them differentiating between 59 kts for a sport pilot, and 61 kts for a light sport aircraft. It feels a little arbitrary to draw those…

> "DB" already means 25 pins, so well, it's quite hard to both have 25 and 9 pins at the same time. No, it doesn't. All of the D-Subs are readily available in high density versions…

Squirrels kept trying to get my squirrel proof bird feeder and then they’d get mad and chew on the furniture when they couldn’t get the seed. And they’d poop in the rails because t…

If you are seeing 301s logged on your end that is your site redirecting to another one. There isn’t a way to see what a referring site did to do the redirect (301 or 302 or even a …

I had the exact same experience when I tried to contribute last week. I had to jump between multiple sessions and browsers and eventually managed to log in after about 30 minutes o…

Drawshave or drawknife and adz. The drawknife is the safer of the two by far. It’s fairly hard to cut yourself when your whole body is moving the same direction. Similar to using a…

Take a look at php-fpm. It works with all the major servers and let’s them do what they do best and offloads the php requests to php when needed. It also has better caching and ove…

It could have been. Looking at the list that MaDeuce posted above Doxycycline sounds more familiar. I really don't remember though.

I do not. It was one of the generic broad-spectrum antibiotics. One of those "take two then take one daily" if I remember correctly. The doctor I went to was equally perplexed. He …

That approach will mitigate your machine getting compromised (which is good) but it won't fix your production machines getting compromised if the gem or package gets deployed. That…

Lyme disease is no joke. My neighbor's son found out he had Lyme after being mis-diagnosed with (I think) MS. He was losing motor function, one eye started to go blind, and he was …

In addition to the shim and compat libs recommended, I've had decent luck with the converter tool ( https://github.com/philip/MySQLConverterTool ). It goes a bit out of its way to …

How in the world does that work? Bullets spin at ridiculous rates; some 3000 RPS. At long distances it'll have made over 10k revolutions before it hits the target!
