Really. Especially in the late 80s and early 60s, when we were often a hair-width away from someone on either side actually pushing the button and kicking off World War Three.
Technical point: unless someone was liberally using cobalt-salted bombs, radiation would be down to manageable levels in a month or two: The 7-10 rule applies here.
I might also add that we've been living in the shadow of fallout for nearly 70 years now. No mutants. No Godzilla. Not even giant ants. ..(grin).
No kidding. My dorm. for my first three years, was small and tight, with no choice whatsoever of furniture: it was a fitted compartment for two people. Built-in pull-out bed (de-facto sofa by day), set of drawers with mirror, built-in U-desk with two positions and fixed lights.
Looked at the same dorms now: the desks are gone, the beds are mobile, and you can get a single (it was only doubles in my day. ..)
Likewise, the cafeteria now offers Vegan, Gluten-Free, International, Kosher, and Halal as everyday menus. Back in the day, only Kosher was available, and that for an extra fee. And I was told is was even WORSE than the regular cafeteria fare of "lump" (sort of hamburger loaves), "scab" (fried breaded veal patties) and "worms" (the vaguely pasta in a vaguely tomato sauce. ..). . .
. . . . since most students are paying for college via Student Loans, why not link the interest rate and terms on the loan, to the risk of it not being paid back ?? I suspect there would be far fewer students studying for jobs that simply don't exist.
i.e. Want to study South American Feminist Literature ? Rate on the loan is 21%, No unemployment deferments. Et cetera. Want to do purely academic studies ? Get a scholarship, or pay for it yourself. And on the flip side, very nice terms for areas where we have a shortage of trained personnel. This goes for trade schools as well: we really DO need more welders and machinists, but the classes are half-full. . .
No, but methinks they ARE working on a method using cats for reproduction. Because when a woman doesn't have a man, she INVARIABLY has at least one cat. . .
. . . or all the carrier-specific crap. I have a ton of apps I simply cannot remove from my Sprint-network phone (and no, Sprint is not my provider, I use Ting. ..)
I rather suspect the poster is referring to the cooling periods associated with periodic solar minima: i.e. the Maunder Minimum or the Dalton Minimum. The Dalton is the most recent, and is often remembered for associated cultural artifacts like Currier and Ives prints of winter, and the book "Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates".
There is much discussion that a new solar minimum is underway, and with it a "mini ice age".
Actually, the Ice Age did NOT end 12K years ago. We're merely between Continental Glacial Advances. The current Ice Age started ~2.58 million years ago. And we're due for another Continental Glacial Advance, "real soon now". . ..in geologic terms.
"real soon now" meaning within the next 10-50 thousand years. . .
. . . but an ongoing process, and this does not appear to recognize that. Especially with medical device certification: make a change, and generally the entire system must be re-certified.
So if a flaw is found in $libfoo, and fixed, FIRST the med companies need to know about it (not sure they even LOOK. . . ), and THEN update. And yet all too many Medical systems I've seen are still running Windows XP. . . How do you remediate something that's out of support ???
. . . is an interesting, and potentially lucrative idea, I suspect it takes a lot more than US$50K to start up. This appears, at least from the article, to be somewhere in the grey area between hobby and small business. . .
As I understand it, if it's a commercial recording and you've paid the public performance licensing fee to the appropriate agency (ASCAP and/or BMI, as I recall), you have the right to play it as many times as the license allows.
Even if all the major bugs get worked out of Win10 (say, SP2-3 or so), I really don't expect Win10 to EVER lose the taint that Microsoft's deployment of it, in the eyes of all too many of its' customers.
I mean, you KNOW it's bad, when your non-techie wife asks about Linux, after an uncommanded Win10 install (and rollback) left her gaming--and-graphics box messed up until I could restore it from the image file I had made a month prior. . .

Apparently the Left has a problem with name-calling as well. If objectifying women or minorities is bad, so is objectifying the competition.
Hint: this is why we got Trump. . .
And the answer is almost always "administrative overhead". Some universities have more new administrators than new instructors. . .

Could be worse: Star Trek: Voyager was effectively "Gilligan's Isle" in space. Without Ginger OR Mary-Ann

Oracle and SAP both do, and Microsoft is trying to. And that's increasingly a problem. . .
