That’d be rather short sighted decision and I’m not sure what could possibly be gained by doing that.

That’s one way of looking at it, and I’m not gonna argue against it. Another way to look at it would be that Apple refused to meet with him and voters - that typically don’t follow city government to begin with - wanted to know why nothing was being done to address a growing concern about property taxes and city…

Depending on the state: taxes can come out to about 1/3 of the assessed market value, which is likely some estimation based upon the usable square footage, and then tax exemptions are subtracted from that. With the exemptions and some shenanigans with assessment values, its not uncommon for corporations to completely…

This would be an interesting setting for a VR experience to build empathy with the mentally ill.

I say “impossible” because there’s no real way for the city to know with absolute certainty which pipes need to go.

This paints a picture that rockets aren’t really a one-size-fits-all solution like I had assumed.

In rural areas, definitely not... though I don’t know why OP didn’t go to the ER. Maybe just waiting to see their regular doctor ... or a specialist, which could be the case for some reason. I don’t know where that person is, but urgent/convenient care has become a more recent thing in most parts of the country - if…

The concern over room-to-room vector transfers is in regards to C. diff, which is why you’ll see staff gown up in plastic before entering rooms with immunosuppressed patients. C. diff is extremely contagious and spreads easily since it can linger in the air and survive outside the body for a long time.

Add to that the increase of diminishing returns.

Hate to let the cat out of the bag, but being a doctor is far more of an art than a pure science. And as much confidence as doctors exhibit, its fair to say that only 50 percent of what they know is true, but nobody knows which 50 percent.

Bingo.

Trained with the A10s regularly during CALFX exercises in the 82D; and also the AC-130s ... another platform beloved by infantry and hated by the Air Force.

There’s always room for one more.

Those early interface systems are a perfect example of “Human Factors” design (focus on improving the person interacts with the machine) versus the modern HCI/Usability field (focus on improving how the machine interacts with the person).

Oh, well that makes sense. So NASA wasn’t charging full price - with the added R&D - for cargo hauling? That makes sense. Just had another thought: was there an issue with limited capacity, as in only so many rockets were getting launched a year and the country needed more launchpads / rockets?

I’ve become more and more convinced that a dash cam is becoming necessary.

At the top of the blog, I figured “CA” was a PCMCIA slot but I couldn’t remember seeing a laptop from the early 90s with one of those, and a few of these early Compaq models passed through the tech shop I worked at 97/98. I wonder how the software/hardware abstraction layer works with those expansion ports.

I’ve forgotten why NASA isn’t building and designing these platforms anymore. What was the original reason again? Is it that Space X pays better, has less rigorous safety standards, or NASA is just too bureaucratic?

One of my engineering professors used to say engineering is just exploiting science to make money.

They could always just put a MegaSquirt ECU in there. :)
