HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :D

When they write "GitHub", I guess they mean "Microsoft"? Maybe this is the hero we deserve, but it's not the hero we need.

That's not how you would typically train a working dog.

Nice job!

It's interesting to see how little effect the orbit and rotation had on the straight line. A proposal is to align the numbers for the different movement categories so that it's easier to see the magnitudes of them.

It took me a couple of seconds to understand the concept, from the title I though it was going to be a planner to show gravity assists etc.

Now I had to imagine Mercury's motion in Earth's reference system, and that was painful.

Blood. That's blood.

Does Earth orbit Mercury?

The reason why we don't see satellite-targeting missiles is not because the problem is hard. All relevant actors are capable of that.

Have you seen what a moose can do to a car?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it disputed, with heavy border tensions and all? I'm not claiming India doesn't control it, and as a Swede I don't know much. But that's about the one thing I thought I knew about Kashmir.

Wireshark, doo doo doo doo doo doo.

I'm specifically thinking about using older self-drive bolts, which seem to still be used if they are placed. I have only met people thinking they are acceptable in the caving environment.

And also using temporary bolts as the Coeur 8 mm, which is rated for 2 kN before deformation in the worst direction (and the mechanism of those bolts are more akin to a cam, making them squiggle a lot in the hole, which is safe, but scary. My ice axe don't squiggle).

Obviously you use redundant bolts, and there are much lower forces in SRT than in dynamic falls, but I still think it's scary as hell.

I recently took a cave rope climbing technique course, after being comfortable with rope climbing in other disciplines, such as climbing, rope rescue and glacier rescue.

The bolting techniques used in caves are fucking terrifying. They work, but they are terrifying.

I recently looked up whether it would be worth it to me to install a water meter instead of paying a flat-rate. Apparently the flat rate is calculated on a consumption of avout half a cubic meter per day. But, without a water meter, I can only guess if my consumption is more or less than that. My guess is that it's considerably less though.

But, is it proven that RSA is secure? Wouldn't that also prove P != NP?

You are correct, I didn't realize this nuance.

He better return it to her then. :)

What you're describing is essentially the exact point system used for traffic infractions in many countries over the world. Driving 10 km/h above the speed limit? No biggie, you pay a fine. Do it three times? We take your license.

Hand counts is the way it is done in Sweden. It means that anyone can easily (well, as easy as possible) both understand the system and inspect it locally (all counting is open to the public).

The result is delivered in a matter of hours, and since vote counting is a parallell process it scales well enough that I doubt it would take much longer in the US. The US have massively more complicated ballots though, which I think is another issue entirely that you guys must solve.

I doubt it would be very expensive either. You don't have to pay people very much to do their civic duty every couple of years and count a couple hundred ballots.

I got locked into my (100+ y/o) house due to a smart lock soon after purchase. It got promptly removed. I'd much rather leave the door unlocked.

Don't want to argue with your choice, just add a data point: My mother was diagnosed with MS when I was a child, and I turned out alright. Though that was in a country with socialized health care.

Ah, missed a word.

Sp you want to be the special remote guy?

I'm training to become a voluntary avalanche dog handler. Having a physical dog that I'm responsible for and who needs the training helps a lot. Having something like that in my professional life would have been immensely helpful.

By the discussions I've had with surveyors in my country (Sweden), any coordinate descriptions of properties are deferred to the physical markers in the ground (cairns for older property, metal stakes for newer ones). This would only be an issue in properties that have never been surveyed (and marked) at all.

Straight borders might become crooked if they cross the crack though.

It looks like the pilot barely sees out the window? Does it rely on cameras or does it föy by itself?

the US, Denmark and France?

Nobody tells you, but it's fields. It's always fields.

At the time, every time, and the position of Venus changes with every orbit. But I guess the folks at ESA are proficient in math.
