ChatGPT? Seriously though, this is such a weird reply and doesn't fit at all with the account's previous comments. Also has that kind of not-quote-right feel that a lot of ai generated content has

Yeah, nah, no way this can be taken at face value. If you've never flown before, this would be apparent to your instructor before you'd even got in the plane. I haven't flown for a while, but three things jump immediately to

which I thought was odd when I read the arstechnica article and saw the chart which showed the beast at ~59,000kg, or 59 tons, but then I remembered that our tons (tonnes) are 1000kg and the US ones are about 907kg

I think my kids are having the same problem (boredom) as you did. What do you mean by "paying attention"? One of the thinks I really like about Montessori, and I'm guessing each school is different, is that the children are a

If you're considering Montessori, there's a few things I need to warn you of (I speak as a parent who's put 4 children through) 1. You'll never look at normal schooling the same way again. You'll find the thought of

Thanks heaps for this. I think one of the problems is that they expect when they hire an expensive "expert" they then trust that expert's advice, same as they would advice from a lawyer or accountant. Me coming along and sayi

Yes, this is what I thought, but how do I say this to a client and get them to listen?

Snow Leopard is the most recent version of OSX able to run on 32 bit Intel machines, like the one I have here. Sure, it's 8 years old but it's still running well and I'm in no hurry to throw it out.

I'd love to be able to expand my wifes iPad, but I think Apple don't offer it (the ability to expand the capacity) for two reasons, the first of which is price - the retail difference between 16Gb and 128Gb is almost pure profit.

Yes, I was trying to reward the player for flying faster instead of just sitting on one spot. Projectile speed increases as your speed increases. I though damaging your own ship would just be cruel :) You may also notice the view zooms out

Macs are cool but when you want to get real work done you use Windows Speaking as a Mac user (who considers what he does to be real work), I think it would be more cutting to play on the games aspect of Windows. That really is the One Thi
