Someone sold them a bridge, it seems.

The hydrogen economy will never exist in a profitable or stable way provided most hydrogen is sourced from natural gas wells. It's a "value add" for existing producers, and a way to say they can't shut off the wells.

Hydrogen created by electrolysis of water is not energy efficient.

Non-animal fabrics don't have this issue.

You'd be served dog, probably. This breed is called papillon because its ears look like butterflies.

I thought GCC dropped support for compiling to the abacus?

We agree entirely.

Without the ability to exert control and therefore reinforce the definition, borders are as arbitrary as any other law. They are created by people, enforced by people, and if we change our mind then they can go away. It's not some intrinsic property of the planet.

While I'm ranting, the definition of a relic or artifact is equally arbitrary. As well as the definition of a people. And ownership. At any point in history, these definitions will be different. Right now we've defined it in such a way that we've decided that it is socially acceptable to return relics to people who live inside geographic areas where the relics originated from. This is also arbitrary.

But as long as people, decide to exert force to reinforce this definitions, there is true as any other law.

When I was in grad school, the philosophy of science students would egg me on with things like: "I'll buy you a beer if you can prove the electron is real". I'd like to think I'm carrying on their tradition in science memes.

One time, I was in the arctic doing some research. On a snowmobile, in winter, we crest a hill and see a couple of wolves pigging out on a caribou. I'm riding in the toboggan, and I start telling at the driver: "go go go!" They proceeded to chase our snowmobile for like a mile, with no hope at all of catching us, but running anyway. Like dogs chasing tires, I think they had no choice. Instincts are strong.

Countries and borders are an arbitrary concept created during the peace treaty of Westphalia.

Those relics belong to dead people.

I have a 750m 0.75mm² wire on a spool that needs a quick disconnect connector of some sort on it so it can take it off in 250m lengths. But it has to handle the tension of being spooled up. Any ideas?

In an ideal world it would be a male and female banana plug thing, but that wouldn't hold under tension. So I'm hoping you folks have ideas.

 
 

Hey folks, looking for something that scratches an itch. I love the Tales series, but dislike the active combat system. So I'm looking for something in the vein that is low combat or turn based tactical combat.

For comparison, I also enjoy Fire Emblem but wish it was more of an RPG. And have recently replayed Dragon Age: Origins (and wished it was turn based like BG3). In DaO I preferred exploring the Dwarven city over combat by a huge margin.

Graphics don't matter. Depth of story matters. Ideas?

 

She is ignoring the birding book in favour of Lord of the Rings. Nerd.
