How's that working for you at the moment? Sorry for the snide comment, but considering the last 6 - 8 months in the US, at least from what is being reported in the outside world, the 1st amendment doesn't seem to be providing much

This does depend on what the engineers are being employed to do.. Are they there to be communication and documentation experts, or are they there to turn requirements into something that works? I agree that there is benefits in having engin

This raises so many questions. I'd be interested in how many people in the study from each group die off during the study... is there a larger number of people in the unmarried group dying off, thereby increasing the chance that the ma

When the obvious desire of 90% of customer support is to make the customer go away being able to use a box rather than a person to get rid of them seems a perfect solution. Support is a cost centre, the people calling support are not the on

Like, pretty much 90% of any space based things from science fiction. Imagine if what you put in orbit (or indeed into deep space) was limited by your imagination, not by the very limited capability of launch vehicles. I would not be surpri

I love that they are deliberately tempting failures with the no and thin tiles. In a lot of ways they will learn far more from the heat shield burn through around the flap(s) than they would have if they had been "lucky" and it ha

Rule #1... Tell somebody reliable where you are going and when to expect you back and who to call if you don't come back. (Could be local police, park ranger etc depending on where you are going). Then make sure you let them know you a

They have a requirement to provide community phones, the cost of calls is trivial when compared with the cost of emptying coin draws and combating people trying to get a free call.

So security have received an alert on a person. They start rushing for that person. There would be a significant proportion of the population who would find that uncomfortable if not scary, who is to say how they will react. The person r

I've got to ask the stupid question... Why do EV's need lots of electronics? the only required controls I can think of are: - Charge control, - Power control - accelerator and regen breaking - Whatever driver assist is legal

I think so. Seems so many people want a "how to" on every aspect of their lives. Friendship should not be something you try to design or have a strategy for, I can think of nothing that would drive me away faster. Friendship hap

I'm not sure why there is a stigma to deciding to not have kids. It's not as if your decision is going to have much impact on anybody except yourself or the potential grandparents who may feel that they are missing out, but that i

Our experience is that after 2+ years of working mostly remotely, that very few people use web cams in meetings, and then only for the initial introduction. Apart from giving ammunition to laugh at somebodies 5 day beard, it is completely

Cats can live happy lives inside, they just need a bit of attention. Ours get a couple of hours supervised outside time whilst on long leads. They can and do carry out hunting behaviours, but being on a tether and being supervised allows u

Nope, no and never.. They are an adult person, not a thing you own. Certainly you have the right to expect some participation in the household, chores, standards of cleanliness, safety, noise etc, just as you would any other person living

I'm obviously missing something here. 18yrs old = Adult in most parts of the world. Is the problem that they are playing games, or is the problem that they are not supporting themselves and spending their time in an activity that you

A lot of "Normal" people are not stable. People are petty, vindictive and childish, to think anything else is just flying in the face of evidence.
