Well without a stable home to do so in we aren't comfortable trying to start a family. We (me and my partner) are genuinely trying to follow the same playbook my parents, grandparents and great grandparents did, but even with a househo

It's still misleading. a naive glance would make someone think co2 levels had risen to 800% of original value, when it's only 150% of original (which is obviously still terrifying)

We might still have mathematicians, but there was a job that was eliminated by calculators: Calculators! We have over time abstracted away the hard-for-people-easy-for-computers tasks to the point often people just do the hard-for-computers

I guess you could argue that in order to get correct/useful haptic feedback the full-dive interface has access to your nerves? And the interface is as counter-hackable as anything else in this world? Thinking in-universe here, where th

I feel like DevOps should be a skill to mention you have experience in (Ops with experience of Dev or vice versa) but somehow morphed into a job description all on its own, defeating the objective of the term completely

Without concentrating the sunlight, the max efficiency of a solar panel is about 68% conversion. With 1kW/m², and a solar panel the size of a 0.01m² phone (6.1 inch, 16:9) that's 6.8W to play with, at the theoretical maximum. A qu

I think the mantras above might be important for a person who struggles with criticising things they can't change about themselves, height, beauty, hair loss, age, that sort of thing. I agree that it comes across defeatist using these

Am British, the guy above might be confused, "toss off" and "tosser" are euphemisms for masturbating and masturbator respectively, but "toss" on it's own has no such connotations, at least in any regional

If said employee were actively defrauding the company and covering their tracks, they would be unable to make any fraudulent transactions or track covering in those 10 days. It's probably more like 16 days ultimately since it's pr

It was my understanding that in those cases the immune system overreacts because it hasn't been correctly calibrated by being properly challenged. It's not that it's too strong, it's that it lashes out at things that are

It is also making the assumption that adding cameras to your house makes you unburglable, which is far from true. Not that it doesn't reduce the likelihood. All the camera allows you to do is point at some vaguely humanoid figures in y

You'd still need to get your spaceship pair into an orbit (or at least a sharp sub-orbital hop) in order to excecute your plan though. the spaceship pair wouldn't just hang there in space. Also, it's simply not possible to me

(Edit: these two paragraphs assume you want to put your rocket into earth orbit, which I realised you might not be attempting.) No matter how you spin it, if you want these two rockets to go in exactly opposite directions and meet up again,
