Thanks! There are two more who are hiding, along with the rest of our menagerie. 😃

Okay, I know this one is a bit of a stretch as a "woodworking" project, but I did have to make the base out of wood. 😁 I am going to be a grandfather again, the first grandchild that is a boy, and the parents are decorating his room in a space motif. So I found plans for this lamp and made it. Pretty simple and I think WAY cool! 😀

We certainly don't have stealth on any of our spacecraft. Shoot, I can see the ISS from my front yard. They could be there to show themselves to each other rather than to us. Perhaps a signaling device. Same reason you don't get clear pics of jets flying at altitude. Sure, why not? Maybe due to the infrequent encounters and videos. Squirrels fall out of trees on a regular basis but I've actually never seen a video of the event.

I am unsure why taking the position that there are more than 2 sexes is considered 'woke', 'pc', 'enlightened', etc. What has been said by anyone that makes the position 'woke'? It looks to me as if there is simply a difference of opinion.

So Bill Gates has lost the courage to live and has motivation equal to 0? I think the evidence tells us otherwise.

Please don't use me as a vehicle for spewing your anger and venom.

I think you are going to find yourself all alone in your particular definition of sex. I'm not sure anyone else besides you would say my three year old granddaughter and my wife are not female. Not to mention that every birth certificate issued in the entire world, under the category of "sex", will have the entry "Not Applicable".

From everything I've read, leaves are great for mulch and you can use 3 - 6 inches on your planting beds. I've never heard they depleted soil nitrogen. If they did I assume that all forests would have a nitrogen deficiency. Leaves are also great to till into the soil, but if you add too much (which is never defined) you can tie up nitrogen as it is breaking down.

It's iNow's thread. His decision.

How so? Can you define what you mean by "value"?

I cannot imagine the US going to war with either China or Russia unless the attack is against the US directly. On the other hand I would expect substantial assistance to Ukraine. We did it with Afghanistan (and lots of other places) and supporting the targets of Russia has been a successful response. With respect to Taiwan I'm just not sure. It is not difficult to understand China's position that Taiwan is already part of China and they are finally getting around to bringing the province under control.

Thanks for all of this, including the calculators!

So you are calculating speed by using the time as measured in one frame and the distance as measured in a different frame?
-
I am not very knowledgeable of the details so please excuse any foolish questions, but don't the astronauts calculate their distance to the distant star to be much shorter than 100 light years, thus making their calculation of average speed to be something less than c?

Can you please expand on this? I'm not sure what you mean.

I can just picture the person who took it, getting all excited thinking 'did I just get that?!?!'

Why does an electric car needs so many more chips than an IC car?

If you come back, bring some citations with you. -

It would be helpful to engage in a meaningful way if you would quit making things up and instead discussed things that were not pulled out of your lower orifice.- 53 replies

I asked five questions. Do you intend to answer any of them? -

Can you please provide a citation for this claim? Why? Don't people who buy used cars have an opinion? Are used-car buyers not allowed to fill out surveys for Consumer Reports? Citation? What I found said -
Spin off concerning reliability and safety of electric vehicles.

Revoking the odious comment was a great move on your part I thought. On the other hand, suggesting that my request for supporting data was an unreasonable request didn't go over so well with me. Your assertion that supplies usually last longer than the emergency was not just a throw away comment. It went directly to the issue the OP raised about having energy supplies after a storm. I don't think I was out of line asking for supporting data since you were claiming enough energy is usually available. -
Thanks. Learned something new today!

You mean the rigorous standard of expecting people to have some basis for making a claim other than "well, it happened to my cousin Billy Bob so I'm sure it's a global phenomenon"? Yeah, you should probably get used to that from people. -

So it is true for people you know personally. You made it sound as if it was true more widely.
