    I’ll second that. As a native English speaker living in a non-English speaker country, but working in English, the local language comes very slowly. The basics come fast enough, but getting to the level of understanding nuance takes time and effort. Its also interesting to hear shocked statements from other…

    https://www.mountwashington.org/get-involved/volunteer/ if you want to volunteer. These days you have to do a week of summer before you can do a winter week (and be ready to cook dinner and lunch for 10 or 12 every night for that week in summer). In winter you are a lot more likely to have the summit to yourself, but…

    Here here! Like “used to” vs “use to”.

    In a previous job we used a third party service called Omnistar for DGPS. At the time (10 years ago) they offered 5 cm realtime GPS accuracy, with global coverage - you just had to subscribe by region.

    I think there are some cutoffs - I want to say that most GPSs won’t work above 50,000 feet and/or something like 600 mph.

    Not really a satellite in the usual sense if its a person taking a picture. NASA calls it an “Earth Observation.” It is nice either way...

    Nitpick alert: the word is shill. The "debate" here has certainly become shrill.

    Hasn't Pictometry been offering this as a paid service for years? (I'm thinking since 2006/7 or so) And they have national coverage, not just LA.

    At least in Switzerland, most vasectomies are done by gynecologists...

    Is that upcoming summit really on Nov 28? (Thanksgiving)

    It's already bearable - this is a Swiss train to start with. Second class is better than US commuter rail, and first class unnecessarily nice. This particular route passes by my town, so maybe I can try it out. Could be nice, since we don't have a Starbucks.

    For a more robust cover (and no sewing), fabric heat shrink tubes are awesome. ([www.mcmaster.com] href="http://lifehacker.com/fabric/">#fabric-heat-shrink-tubing/=d23lmn) After running a hairdryer over them, they are a canvas-like material.

    @w1llk - Undoubtedly Cookies: I don't (municipal water is from a river), but the surrounding towns on well water do. If the Merrimack runs dry, we're in big trouble.

    @w1llk - Undoubtedly Cookies: And curiously, my New England lawn is also brown and crunchy. Something to do with 10 days of 90 or above and hardly any rain, I think.

    I'm leery of the using less water idea, even if you have relatively expensive water, since that's a where most of the cleaning action happens. Less detergent however, is probably better all around. [www.nytimes.com] has some good suggestions.
