Arms and legs allowed in are still really bad. You can't run fast in snow, and you are more likely to trip.

I read it for a while a few years ago, I don't remember how far I got it. I do remember realizing that it was just a "number go up for both the hero and the monster" - nothing was really changing/new anymore even though there were more words. A good read for a while, but it gets tedious after a while and so I stopped. There are too many other books our there that are much better. A large part of better is the authors just wrote "the end" when they ran out of original ideas.

In some cases. However most often when there is a stack trace it is because something I didn't expect happened - I can't tell you how we got there or how to correct it because if I knew I would have just had the code do that in the first place. If the error is something the user did though I'd expect a clean error message.

Yes. My town was 5k people in 2000, 20k in 2020, and expected to be over 100k in 2030. Everyone is trying to get into the grab. People who move in are more likely to find a new bank, so the banks want to be here early to get the customers.

Gas stations are not something people are loyal to, but they still need to go in to support all the people moving into a car centric environment.

What broke? If it was a GNU ism that wouldn't work on *BSD either, than it is your own stupid fault. There are other linux distros that also don't use the gnu core utils that would break things do.

Note that those are minimums. The pilots I know try to be well above the minimums as a personal rule. Landing without fuel is something they practice in the simulator, not something they ever want to try in real world conditions.

And how much power can you even get from a solar panel in a typical outside environment where you'd freeze to death?

Day or night? As a kid we used to heat with wood - every morning I'd wake up and start the first and then take my shower... The fire was out by 9am, but the house was noticeably warmer at 12 than 9am anyway from solar, and we didn't need to light the night fire until 7-8pm (the sun went down around 4pm), and it would burn on low all night.

The coldest days tend to also be clear skies. Cloudy days did not get nearly as much solar heat, they needed less, but we would have to light a fire again at noon to get through the day.

Which is to say you can get more than enough solar to save your life if there is a reasonable amount of insulation in the car if it is daytime - but it wouldn't be enough to get through the night when you need the heat most.

The drinks that major sports teams use are designed to be exactly what is needed for that sport, and only contain sugar if nutritionists (and other real scientists) say it is needed, and then only in the amount needed. Different sports have different needs, and so will get different drinks (if there is enough money in the sport to pay scientists to design it).

The sports drinks you buy in the store share only the name/logo with the above drinks.

Unions work depending on how 'in it together' you feel.

If you resent the people standing around doing nothing they start to fail. If you resent the people who do worse work than you for the same pay they start to fail. note that on an assembly line the above isn't possible in the first place - which is why they work great there. (Bus drivers and police are also not really measureable like that)

that depends on the pilot. it doesn't apply to bold pilots. There are bold pilots and old pilots - but no old and bold pilots.

In practice that is zero - you are not allowed to take off unless you have enough fuel to fly for an hour after landing. flying is safe in large part because of hard learned rules like this.

Ask my wife. I've followed dozens of direction, none work for me - I get the peel and half the egg white off. She manages to get a nice peel every time.

i don't think it is genetic, but whatever it is nothing works.

 

My wife is complaining that we have music all over the living room all the time. With a couple kids in music lessons, school bands (regular, jazz), orchestra, and such a practice session often needs 6 books and 5 loose pages of music so I can't blame her for being frustrated. There is no easy way to store all that and find what you need for the current daily practice sessions.

Putting a tablet (suggestions? schools gives the kids an iPad, and I'm looking at pinetab2, or boox for me) on a stand seems easy enough, but then what?

Mobile sheets seems to be what others around me use, so probably what I'd end up doing too, though I'm not locked to anything. Any other software that I should be looking at? I do like the idea that we can synchronize page turning.

The hard part is getting all my music onto my NAS. Do I just scan all my books? Buy again as PDF (only rarely an option). Entry the music into some other program? I have some sheet music I want to put into lilypond - is there anything that would sync my tablets to a rendered version of this.

I already have Jellyfin and I see book options (but have not used it yet). Calibri-web also comes up often for books. Both seem book reading focused and music flows / organization is different. Anything else I might want to put on my servers that might be better?

Any other thoughts? What have others done that works?
