Everyone you can who may move the needle in the right direction. There are no guarantees that it will help, but doing nothing is even less likely to improve things.

I found almost all of the Marti videos are interesting, well made, and worth watching.

No, that was about the dish at Parkes, this is about the Tidbinbilla dish, near Canberra.

So often I see the word robot used, when machine would be more appropriate.

Remember that if someone else is made worse off, logically you must now be better off. /s

Setup is a noun, set up is the corresponding verb.

I think that English is hard, and there are more exceptions than rules, so when learning it, correct answers are drilled into the student. For some people this translates into intolerance of “alternative” variations.

Not my field, but I think If you want permission, you ask “May I?”, if you want confirmation, you ask “Can I?”

But have you used the new 3.6 release which uses pfnaphell integration to stochastically pre-convolute the tertiary nodes? It's a game-changer!

Yes, I prefer "Woman with a ferret[1]" myself. A better work in almost every way.

That assessment can probably be scaled up to the USA as a whole.

Responding to point 1, it is interesting that this is diametrically opposed to recent rulings by SCOTUS which have ruled that government agencies (EPA for example) cannot act without specific supporting legislation.

Fortnine recently made a video (motorcycles, but still applicable) which I think aids in understanding the issues and debunks some incorrect ideas.

The features aren’t removed, they’re still there and contributed to the high base price, but you just haven’t paid the extra charge to use them. [obviously, I think this is an abhorrent idea].

Yes, I was disappointed to find only one or two images from each famous artist.

@dang can we get the greengrocer's apostrophe taken out of the title please.

I believe it's Kurtis with a "K".

No, this is clearly a scam, as us audiophiles know you don’t demagnetise the disc, you demagnetise the laser read/write head.

Yes, but they already have a copy of your contract/document, yes?

By which I mean to point out the problem that the people signing the contract/document aren’t the ones choosing the signing service company.

It makes sense in Australia as NewsCorp (and to a lesser extent, the other trad media companies) has much influence over public opinion via TV and newspapers, so political parties are beholden to it, and thus the legislation to force internet companies to pay news sources.

I certainly did. There is a batch process to cull old records. It checks for customers who do not have a date of death recorded but are > 130 years old, as it assumes that we weren't informed of their death.

It takes 130 years from the current date and uses that in an SQL statement to compares it to the date of birth. DB2 doesn't like 1894-02-29.

Apparently it happens every 4 years, but no-one can be bothered to fix it.

I think that the right lost the battle over gay rights as general attitudes had become accepting of them over the past 3-5 decades, but they don't want to lose the war so they are digging in over rights for transgender people.

My advice looking back over the past 25 years . . . stay in the bunker.

I suspect that it can also be likened to "when the only tool you have is a hammer...". An MBA will see a product with flagging sales and solve it by cutting people, products and costs to improve the numbers. An engineer will see that same problem as requiring changes to the product, or developing a new one.

It seems that the software can be run in-browser here: https://archi.medes.live/

Maybe all the other instances crashed, but we got lucky and get to apply the anthropic principle.

The real question is, are we running on bare metal, in a VM, or in a container?

It's the same with ocean bioluminescence. Your eyes adapt to the dark and see it better than it looks in a normal photograph, but most photographs are "enhanced" as you say with long exposure times and/or increased colour saturation.

I’ve never read the book but I saw it mentioned years ago and ever since I can’t help myself when I notice some change in my domestic environment, and have to utter the phrase.

I agree with you, but I think that for the general public you have to relate to what they experience, and thus intuitively know, and that is that heat “seems” to be different from light.
