I just want to say thank you for your work. I bought one for the lab last year and I love it. Maybe even saved my job.

Now let's talk program and unit cost and combat range. The Arrow was a brilliant plane for its time and purpose. But its cancellation was not wrong (if perhaps immature) - if there…

Why should Canada do coalition missions? They have nothing to do with Canada. Coalition missions are euphemism for beating up a weaker country. As far as I can remember, the F-35 i…

The f-35 lacks the range and speed, coupled with the lack of airbases in Canada means that it is not very effective. Canada needs something like a Su-35, a big twin engine with a l…

List didn't include the one we're all most likely to encounter - crappy hotel connections.

We can, and have, shut off large portions of the grid in seconds. Take the 2003 blackout. Yes, the whole shut down took 15 minutes (?). But thats because it was a cascading effect …

Just one pole on the right side will take a plane down

"It's not falsifiable." So? That's only a problem if you assume Popper's epistemology.

Brain scans of a sentient beinb aware that he is in a box. Also, weren't a bunch of results junked because there was a nasty bug in the CT code?

Stones, replication crisis and glass houses...

Im sure this is about some higher end math than I dont understand, but in day-to-day mental math just 1. multiply by 3 2. divide by ten 3. If more accuracy is needed, add 10% to th…

I don't think that's how the FDIC insurance works. I was under the impression that the 250k is after liquidation, the last resort. Anyway, SVB was really leveraged so I'm not sure …

People held without bond are in that situation for (presumably) extraordinary circumstances. Long history of violent behavior, huge flight risk. This is a punk (he is a prick) who …

My wife and I have wanted to learn it for years so we could communicate to each other while holding hands. But who has the time?

I'm traveling, so I just assumed my internet had died instead and didn't refresh all day. I literally just found out HN was down by this post.

He's very popular in the Balkans. Even the Croats I know respect him. And the third world loves him. That doesn't change the fact that he was a brutal commie. But a sensible one at…

Even Albanians. I know many Kosovar Albanians, and they all praise him. Heck, even Albanians I know think highly of him. Which is stroke of luck for him. He started off as brutal s…

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1&versi... It really isn't that archaic. It might not be the best resource for Biblical scholarship, but it's quite readable to…

It doesn't matter what Ukraine wants vis a vis NATO. NATO states have publicly admitted they were egging the Ukrainians along with NATO membership. NATO doesn't want to guarantee U…

Why wouldn't Ukraine also plant a fall harvest crop? I thought Northern countries try to plant two crops per year. Countries like Argentina try to plant three.

Some thoughts: 1. Costs are at the margins. Is 1% irrelevant, or cannot be replaced? Replacement depends strongly on local weather and requires that land be substituted for wheat i…

I agree, but the tenant seems to believe the landlord will retaliate instead of being thankful. In my contracts I make it crystal clear the tenants have a responsibility to inform …

I don't avoid very high income earners, it's just that the unit I'm renting is a small house I could afford to live in at the time I bought it. This unit naturally fits a certain, …

As a landlord, I insist you look to move. You're being abused. If your local landlords are more or less the same, move. You're in an abusive city. As a landlord: 1. I insist any sm…
