I hav bought my oldest son an electronics experiment kit. It was quite a search to still find something that uses individual resistors and...

Ask not how the pot boils?

I figured my perception of time was pretty skewed but I was looking at those very waveforms and a few others earlier. My guess now is that it was...

As mentioned in the reading thread, I've been working my way through Ann Cleeves' mystery novels. I finished the Vera Stanhope ones and and now am...

Glad you got thru it a-ok, hope no other problems found. My older brother was stationed in Anchorage during the 64 quake, he had quite a ride too....

At 42 km that seems fairly deep for such a long duration. But at the same time the Alaska Earthquake Center said it was "an aftershock of the...

Not damage, exactly but I did find the back door ajar and it wouldn't latch without persuasion from a small pry bar. I'll need to re-shim the door...

Launch is a moving target. New TFRs for March 1-3 (Mon-Wed) @nextspaceflight SpaceX is targeting no earlier than Monday, March 1 for Starship...

Thank you for the explanation. As I fear this is being politicized and spun into an "evil gene manipulation" story. It's a wonder we're not all going...

The mRNA doesn't directly induce an immune response. It codes for a SARS-CoV-2 protein, and uses your cells' ribosomes to make the cells churn out...

Yes that is right but the incoming air is first directed by static blades, after a bird cutting set or fan, then enters a rotating set of stages,...

In a similar vein i have a friend who is reading some CT sites and watching related videos. He says the current vaccines are gene therapy and side...

I'm no expert but I think there's a minimum air velocity through the engine before combustion is allowed to occur, which would direct the combustion...

I think the scientists from several countries who endure the Antarctic would object to the idea that it is easy to get to, or justified by future...

I find Grant has explained where the discipline side and muscular Christianity side of Baden Powell ‘s scouting can go very wrong. It has its good...

The herd thanks you.

The problem in the specific setting I encountered (though it was far from unique at that time in Scottish culture) was that Scouting did all that...

Sure, but I'm writing about Vonetta McGee!

The understanding I have--and bear in mind I didn't actually talk to the guy myself, though Graham thinks he's moving into a house a couple of blocks...

I'm very happy for you both!

Mind translating this please? :) Also the plan is for February 27 so I think the posted link may be outdated.

Thanks for the replies, folks. The chart that Grant linked is particularly interesting.

^^^ Before I retired from my lab work metric was always used 100% for the job at hand. My "homework" still revolved around the old school...

Very inspiring story. What does it mean to be a 'flight director' though? From what I read, she's an engineering team lead (robotic arm).

I think it’s a good question though. The Sahara is a good question. It’s a bit different from the others. You can drive a vehicle or helicopter...

We seem to have the habit of F for hot weather and C for cold. Oldies like me were raised in both because science was ergs, dynes, grams and...

^^^ Nyuk, I always mean Fahrenheit...and I'm still an inch, foot, yard, ounce, pound, pint, quart, etc. guy too ;0) Today it's a cold rain, way...
