    Vaping != burning. Vaping = boiling. When vaping = burning, your device is dry and the user definitely can tell.

  14. Re:radiation compared to what? on Photos Show The Lingering Radioactivity At Chernobyl And Fukushima (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    To be fair, the rate at which the user moves through the area wouldn't have to have an impact on the perceived radiation level in that given area if the resolution is high enough.

    For instance, if the radiation level is sampled at once per second then yes - the speed moving could have an impact if they're moving very fast. However, if the sampling is per 100ms or so - that would give much more of a smoothing effect over inconsistencies in speed over time, since each sample is a given amount of radiation over sample time rather than over total walking speed.

    In other words, speed of walking shouldn't have an impact - because just standing in one place should give us the same visual as moving through the same said area.

    When I initially updated and it borked, I didn't see anything in the googles that it broke and/or a fix, so I copied my home directory and installed LTS (via ssh). If I had been running something important, I wouldn't want that to crop up just because I updated on a whim, so I learned my lesson.

    I have a similar vehicle (Ford) built in 2004 that will not be getting a transmission flush or change of any sort. And I'm usually pretty good at maintenance. Why? The value of the car is such crap right now that it's worth more to me to just run it into the ground than to change the fluid out. (early CVTs were somewhat notorious for being garbage and maintenance or no, once they go it's 5-7k from a dealer.) No thanks, off to the junkyard if it ever conks out, and I'm not going to spend a dime on the transmission.
