and we couldn't positively identify oil patches by seismics (using dynamite, not a sledgehammer), we just provided guesstimates. Some of what looked like oil patches turned out to be nothing; a dry hole.
Contrary to Njovich [slashdot.org]'s suggestion, rather than looking anything up, why don't you go and do an undergraduate course in geophysics, including doing some practical work on measuring and interpreting seismic waves from your very own sledgehammer. Then you'd know just how clear the boundaries are.
What is the contrary of Njovich? Maybe you meant "contrarily"?
Also, as a teenager, I use to work on seismics (Schlumberger) and I have also worked on oil rigs and punched 4 miles deep holes in the Earth crust. I might have been deeper than you have ever been...
This boundary is located at approximately 2891 km (1796 mi) depth beneath the Earth's surface.
Brilliant: "approximately 2891 km", right. "Approximately 2900 km" would have sounded better...
Still, it is an example of what I stated in my OP.
On top of that, those guesstimates rely on technology that may seem retarded in a few centuries and nobody has ever been there to measure the layers;-)
0–60 0–37 Lithosphere (locally varies between 5 and 200 km) 0–35 0–22 Crust (locally varies between 5 and 70 km) 35–60 22–37 Uppermost part of mantle 35–2,890 22–1,790 Mantle 210-270 130-168 Upper mesosphere (upper mantle) 660–2,890 410–1,790 Lower mesosphere (lower mantle) 2,890–5,150 1,790–3,160 Outer core 5,150–6,360 3,160–3,954 Inner core
Ooops, now the mantle has 4 arbitrary layers and there is no name for the 60-210km layer! I will call a meeting to add a layer to the mantle or maybe remove one like we did for Pluto. In the end, we can have as many layers as we see fit. Why not another layer in the very center of the inner core? Who knows what is really in the center?
I use science all the time but I take it with a grain of salt. It is scary how some people gobble everything and are prone to debate and ridiculing others as soon as it is stamped "science". It's almost like a new religion with its religious fanatics.
Next; 10 hours in a day, 10 minutes in an hour and 10 seconds in a minutes? Minutes, seconds and hours are still around aren't they?
You can evenly divide 12 sheep between 2,3,4 or 6 people. You can divide 60 sheep between 2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30 people. Not bad if you consider trying it with 10 or 100.
These numbers were viewed as convenient back then. That's why we still buy eggs by the dozen; 360 degrees, 24 hours, etc.
212F-32F is 180 which is 3*60 etc. etc.
You should get used to old units, they constitute a good mental exercise. It is a little like the queen of England speaking pretty good French. For them it a must, a sign of noblesse, despite the fact that French can be pretty awkward sometimes.
I thought mass and speed (inertia) might have something to do with it.
For example, mosquitoes and other flying insects can bounce off my building windows without harm but birds usually die doing it. Similarly, it is easy for a tiny toy drone to bounce off a wall but will be much harder for any bigger drone, propeller guards or not.
Try putting propeller guards on this to see if it is going to help it slam into wall as OP suggested:

I am from france
happy to read your reply ;-)
In the end, I would like to state something:
You never had a clue WTF you were talking about.
Feels good to let myself go wild.
Still, I would wish that you come to a point where you would smart up!
Cheers, peace and love, John Lennon and all the rest for you and your siblings.
Hello Njovich,
Just catching up on replies.
You might be interested in this thread. Well, you may scroll down a little to see the same instead of following the link I assume. It is up to you.

will the traditional cable and satellite companies 'see the light'?
Sure, they are already investing in streaming sites to close the loop.
There is a typo in TFS:
2016 also saw a saw dramatic drops in the use of physical disks.
It should read:
"2016 also saw a saw saw dramatic drops in the use of physical disks." Like in "I see a saw sawing" since a saw was apparently used.
You say "Cubo and the Two Strings"? I am watching it now, I downloaded it last I was visiting you, uncle.
I promise to never do it again.
-Your beloved nephew
Sadly, I never heard of DMOZ. Time to download the archive I guess.
Back then, I used to use Lycos which is 4 years older than DMOZ an a year older than Yahoo.
Cool! Mine called negotiating too!
Good for them!
Use the would be MS license money to train people. In the long run, it is a win-win.
Don't try to hide behind fake news. My mind is made up about you. ;-)
You pervert; you scan the back of your preys to check how good a backscatter they would be good in your scat fantasies?
That might be how your primary RADAR works but not mine. I am not into scat. This is disgusting...
I am on 50Hz you insensitive clod.
I drive a pimp mobile, what type of ads am I going to get?
It is because Kelvin heads hang around in scientific circles. Come on, a 10C difference and a 10K difference is the same damn thing. Get over it!
Nah, degree symbol is smaller thus melts faster. Since the Earth mantle is warmer, your degree symbols have just melted away...
I like how humans describe and imagine layers of the space they live in; the Earth mantle, the stratosphere, etc...
We even have pictures with the "borders" between each layers depicted ;-)
It's all in our heads really, there is no clear border between these layers, the Earth is just a mass with the center still warmer than the surface.

True enough, a 640K limit should be plenty for everybody. If nobody should ever need more than 640K...

You are correct, the bigger toys are usually "more stable and stuff".
For example, we regularly see these babies slamming into building walls without any problems:
