Yeah, but they implemented a moveable task bar, which has been available in every other operating system and most DEs for probably 20 - 30 years, so you know... progress kinda.

Yep, you're right, thanks.

200 MPa = 200 N/m2, not 200 N/mm2.

Edit: I was corrected below.

Pa is N/m2, not N/mm2. The answer is off by a factor of 1e6, right?

Edit: nm, I was corrected elsewhere.

And to many people the differences between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are negligible.

Depending on the depth of the snow, you may want to consider gaters.

As for the boots, you might be able to use a good pair of leather boots with lots of insulation (buy a size or 2 above what you need and wrap your feet up well). The advantage of full leather boots is that they can be maintained and repaired, whereas rubber will wear out eventually. Wearing the insulation will be better than having it built into the boot. Worn out socks are easier to replace than built-in insulation.

Regardless, look for Merrell out soles or plan to use crimp-ons for icy conditions.

Maybe a Sorel or LL Bean boot. They are only water proof up to a certain depth, but they both do pretty well in the winter.

It would help to know when you plan to wear them, what activities are you with them?

Before doing this, you may want to checkout the Farming while Beige youtube channel (blackbirdcoop).

In some of his videos he provides a very honest description of the work involved.

Interesting because drivers of white cars are usually the most incompetent. Maybe people know to avoid them more and therefore they get into fewer accidents?

You keep saying that, but it seems that you're only able to make sense of the article because you have some prior knowledge. I was hoping you would share that knowledge, but it seems you have no interest in doing so. What was the point of sharing the article then?

Since you seem to want to be reductive, it appears that this detonation engine is nothing more than a regular combustion engine with a fuel mix that is more reactive. That's great and cool, but it still isn't clear why this is any significant innovation.

I could be very pedantic here, but I'm actually trying to understand how this is different from a traditional engine.

In that sentence, what does the "required pressure" refer to? Presumably an elevated pressure is required, instead of a negative pressure? For what purpose? How is that pressure achieved? Is the pressure changed by a change in volume? Temp? Once the pressure has changed, does the gas do work on something?
