Fry's was one of the few places that used a single checkout queue for multiple checkout stations instead of each station having its own queue. Seemed like the queue was longer, but checkout time was actually less most of the time. Was

Think of an oval as two straights connected by two Eau Rouge nearly flat style corners. Short one mile ovals offer some of the best racing as there are multiple lines around the corners and you can often race side by side. An F1 race on som

People used to spend entire careers at one company so investment in them pays off. I spent 10 years working for Bell Labs in the 1980s albeit as a contractor, and the bodyshop that employed me found it worthwhile reimbursing all educational

Privatisation was awful from the traveller's point of view having to figure out which company to deal with. It would have been much better to micro-privatise each train - selling off the dining car franchise to a commercial operator or

In work life as in the rest of life there is a mid-career crisis thing where you plateau and realize this is likely the best you will ever do. Crazy things can happen or you may float until there's a downturn and/or layoff but lik

Fabian Way is an office/industrial area near the major 101 freeway with wide streets and plenty of room for the RVs. Seems entirely reasonable to park RVs there. The surrounding office buildings have acres of empty parking lots. I can

To SPOIL my own question now my brain has had time to work on it, the answer may be that the first digit is larger than the second digit for liked numbers and less for not liked, with the 0 digits irrelevant. So 9 > 6 and 4 < 5 and 5

I scored 54 and while the cube rotations are painful to do I was sure of all my responses and wonder which ones I got wrong. There was one I didn't know the answer: somebody liked 96 but not 45 and liked 540 but not 250 - can someone s

I always hated whiteboard coding exercises because under stress coding from scratch I would make stupid syntax errors often in boilerplate code that I normally would just copy from an example. Pseudo code wasn't as bad, but still stres

There are many ways Mills claims to have experimentally verified the existence of hydrinos but the most obvious one is the faster than hydrogen transit through a gas chromatograph.

Discrete electrons accelerating radiate, but a single electron that is spread out around a spherical orbitsphere so that there is continuous charge flow in all great circle direction but no net movement of charge over time, does not.

Ironic that he confines his theory to classical EM. When a continuous band of charge goes around in a loop so that at all times there is the same amount of charge at any particular point, there is no radiation.

An electron is more flexible in its internal structure than a soap bubble so BLP claims it does all possible great circle orbits all at once. The charge distribution does not change over time so there is no radiating away of energy even tho

The orbitsphere proposed by BLP is a fluid (non-rigid) sphere with electron currents along great circle routes. It can have net zero angular momentum where all the currents cancel out or it can have angular momentum where some orbits are no

So likely dark matter is a different flavor of something already in the model. Dr. Mills' Hydrino theory presents hydrogen with the electron in a lower orbit that does not radiate as a candidate for dark matter. These states are stable

Not just nuclei - "result of the nuclei and this orbitsphere arranging themselves into the most stable, lowest energy configuration" - you cut off your quote too early.

According to BLP for a molecule like water the electrons don't form distinct bonds or lone pairs in the quantum sense. Instead, they form a single, shared, physical electron shell (a prolate spheroidal orbitsphere) that encompasses all
