Indeed. It should be centiseconds.

It's not microseconds, it's centiseconds. A microsecond is a millionth of a second, while a centisecond is a hundredth of a second.

I agree, professor. It is what you are used to.

Not in a typical US sized plug. :)

The US Navy, along with various tidbits from the Australian Navy, the Indian Navy, and the Singaporean Navy, is searching this southern zone.

Your outlets are weird! :)

After a few years in HK I've come to think UK-style outlets are the best. They're large but they never fall out accidentally, they have a built-in fuse in the plug, and they're childproof even without a socket cover.

The system was rather complex and required extraordinary engineering prowess.

There is not. Stars have numerical designators and some have official names. You can't purchase a name.

(There is no mention of what happens when a town grows to a population of more than 100,000, but the logical conclusion is that we either blow the crater up, or force people to leave the village. DO NOT QUESTION THE IAU ABOUT ITS RULES.)

My hand is up!

I see your point, but exercise can be so many things. Unfortunately gyms have money to burn when it comes to promotion, so there is an impression that this is the way to get fit. And then you have to deal with the spandex posers. (Ok not all gyms are like that, but still.)

Sure. If you know what you're doing. :)

I have no problem with the security checks or the invasion of privacy. I do have a problem with the fact that the TSA is ineffective at combating the threat, as well as overpriced. There are ways to conduct a security assessment and search that both cost much less and actually work fairly well. As described here. Note…

This outstanding article by Michael Z. Williamson, written less than a week after 9/11, explains how airport security can be effective, efficient and relatively cost-effective. Needless to say, I doubt the methods described will ever be implemented by the TSA.

I'm assuming it means "pus**"

To be clear, it wasn't the only reason we moved. Far from it. It was a small part of why we moved.

Did you miss the...?

In case you're not familiar with how a hydrofoil works, it's basically a boat on skis. It looks like a normal boat at rest, but at speed the skis lift the boat out of the water, reducing drag immensely, and that's when the speeds really come on.
