But the presidential alerts are very rare, and are actually designed for nuclear war. They're tied into all of the continuity of government machinery. I've never actually seen one.

I think the numbers were proportional, or at least proportionate, back in May of 2022 when this was created.

Oh! To recall the carefree days when the special 3-day military operation was only around 90 days old.

I've been told a fun thing to do in Rome is to walk up to one of the tourist trap restaurants that has a tout at the door. Those guys know like 5 or 6 different languages, and they try to lure unsuspecting tourists to sit down at their restaurant. Anyhow, the play is to walk up to one of these touts and to start speaking Classical Latin at them. Latin is close enough to several Romance languages they do know that it seems familiar, but it's not quite intelligible. And it's really confusing to them to figure out which one you are speaking.

Of course it helps if you're conversational in Latin.

In any case, whatever the scheme is, it should be voted upon by our Congressional representatives in Congress and enacted by Congress, and signed into law by the President. That is how the H1-B visa was created in the first place, and that is how taxes are raised in this country: with representation.

imagine they reclaim all the territory except the Gadsden purchase, which becomes an exclave.

I think the reality is that these admissions and scholarship committees were well aware these were the Lopez offspring. And I imagine they're counting on getting more money back in future donations and from extra buzz and interest generated if these celebrities actually matriculate.

In this specific case, your phone exchanges radio signals with a cell tower, and then the cell tower transfers your data requests onto the wires.

Dreamliners had some nightmare problems with their batteries back when they first came out.

It was the first use of lithium ion chemistry on airplanes. The batteries kept catching on fire. At one point a battery fire started on a taxiway with a plane full of revenue passengers.

Boeing had to design a heavy, fireproof lock box to contain the batteries. It completely negated the weight savings from using lithium over NiCad and then some.

They also had a lot of manufacturing problems in the beginning trying to stop the carbon fiber from cracking.

It's pretty common for natural gas electric plants to use Brayton cycle turbines, which is the same thermodynamic cycle that the turbojet engines on airplanes use. But you can optimize the designs on the ground for efficiency (and zero thrust) instead of thrust-to-weight.

It's also common to use "combined cycle" technology which mashes the Brayton cycle engine together with an older-style steam loop for extra efficiency.

After reading the article, I think they're just saying they installed some miniaturized natural gas plants. I don't think they're literally running aircraft engines on the ground.

If the OTA distribution system went online in 2011, it would have been for P/Y code, which is the original military-use code that launched with the GPS satellites.

P/Y originally provided better position precision than the unclassified C/A code, under a program called Selective Availability (SA). SA was deactivated in 2000 by executive order of President Bill Clinton. Since that time, P/Y only provides an anti-spoofing feature that helps receivers to authenticate genuine GPS.

The military is now in the process of moving to a new, third code called M-code. M-code required updated satellites to be launched, as old ones were retired, and it required big overhauls to the ground control networks. After about 10 years of delays, M-code is now in process of rolling out to end users in the military.

I'm conclusion, a possible reason to retire this old program is because users are now moving to M-code.

Well nowadays with the Chase, there are plenty situations where the race doesn't matter, as long as you wreck your opponent.

Most systems I use will keep a sudo authentication session open for several minutes, so you don't have to repeatedly enter your password on every single command.
