I'm surprised that any useful accuracy can be obtained. Maybe an additional input to the solution would be to watch when various GPS satellites are occulted by the Earth.

Age of Wonders is a great Delphi-produced game too, if I remember correctly.

Well yeah, but it goes even deeper than that, IMO, since the domes could have just stayed on Earth. Why launch them into space and return them later? They're terrariums with all of the life support and lighting that they need.

Yes. I wrote my first code for hire at age 14, started professionally at age 22, and I'm 53 now. Still innovating and contributing as a technical guy. I've made it clear I'm not interested in management.

Awful. My wife has a terminal illness and I'm struggling to work while taking care of her and shopping and cleaning and laundry and cooking and pets and school, etc. When I say I'm struggling to work, I'm struggling to be cl

Me too. Also, there are some sites where LastPass could never manage to find the login fields and didn't fill them correctly or at all. I've yet to see Bitwarden screw this up.

A Canadian friend of mine lives in B.C. and told me that, "80% of Canadians live within x miles of the U.S. border.... We call it 'huddled up to the stove'".
