Do you know what a strawman is? Funny can mean bizarre.

An aircraft carrier in a street fight... about as much use as chocolate hand grenade. That's why it's funny.

As an afterthought: Will Netanyahu try to bury his legal problems in amidst the Western faux outrage and hand-wringing we are seeing?

Funny. All the technology in the world won't beat commitment to a cause. As Ukraine shows as well earlier in the war and it is still pretty artisanal in its weapon development.

This wouldn't happen in a private company, with profit as it's core motive?

I don't know, but relatively. The operating and maintenance temperature of the cylinder wall is 180c about. Even at 27-32c atmosphere you still have to raise the temp of the engine block 150c.

Right.

Liquid water has a density of 1g/cm3. Ice has a density of 0..91g/cm3. Anything less dense than the medium will float, so ice floats on water. It's the same with atmospheric air: any gas or vapour less dense will rise through the air.

At those distances, you'll always be running the car at sub-optimal temps most of the time, I would have thought, which means the the air/fuel ratio will be rich most of the time.

Yes, many are in their own preferred information bubble. But they are a minority as part of the general electorate. They don't matter really. Trump will be singing to a much smaller group.... if he's not imprisoned or otherwise engaged. Once the GOP collapses sufficiently, I think the Trumpites will be heading towards history. I think this is a cult because the followers are in impenetrable denial, regardless of their leaders antics and once the leader goes, they dissipate.... or fracture to a new, probably, pathological cause. They'll probably be left with an ideological vacuum; history repeats itself.

It looks like to me they are veering so far right, in total, and this is not even the the election cycle. Picture all these people who used hard-right tactics and platitudes to stay in the race.... they aren't going to look very convincing to the whole national electorate walking back to their previously more moderate lines in the '24 election. What should happen then is the GOP will get trounced, Trump will have lost all credibility, then the collective navel-gazing will start. They need to be left humiliating for some time by their own actions, with as little Democratic input as possible, as we have just seen with the deliberate inaction towards McCarthy. Sometimes, it seems to me, it's better to do nothing.

I think if Jordan gets the gavel, what's just happened in McCarthy's tenure will be relative sideshow. How do we think the political landscape will change now ?

Newsflash: De Beers buys diamond planet to preserve gem prices.

Not elliptical orbits?

The human body constitutes 30 trillion cells, add another 38 trillion non-human cells... and yet we largely still roam around unencumbered from one day to the next.

Correction to my previous post. I divided the drive with Partition Wizard first.

You learned something about him. Absorb it and don't do it again with him. Being family does not automatically mean one will receive honesty. C'est la vie.

I made a recovery partition the drive with Macrium Reflect Free, with dividing up the drive into 60GB Windows, 30GB Recovery and the rest in a Data drive. On starting up I am presented with going into Windows or Recovery. There is an option to select this in Macrium Reflect. The Recovery drive contains roughly 15GB system recovery images which contain my images.

I don't know.

No prob. More simply, a clone is as big as the drive and an image is only as big as the live OS and user information in that. Imagine cloning a 1TB drive with only 50BG of data and OS on it. It's a waste of most peoples time unless it's essential that all information is forensically extracted, whether the information a part of the present OS space or not. Unless you wipe sector by sector beforehand, any old data from a previous OS is still on the empty sectors not currently used by Windows and cloning can record that, but imaging ignores them.

AFAIK The only difference between AEOMI/Macrium backup mode and clone is cloning records each sector verbatim, including with the info in the empty spaces as well. The cloning of empty sectors necessitates that the final image is much larger and slower to create and transfer than imaging. Imaging just records the sectors being used by the current OS during the imaging session, ignoring the empty sectors.

I thought this covered the subjective experience element: 'We' are our brains configurations.

The perception of colour has three elements, I think: Wavelength of incident light, wavelength of the reflected light and then how the brain processes it. That's room for a lot of variability between individual observers.

RGB is white in mixed light photon terms and brown in pigments.
