This object has been followed on the seesat-l list, and IIRC from the observations there it did perform a good number of orbital maneuvers, including the possibly fuel-intensive plane change. This required more than needed for mere station-keeping.
Yeah, it's a long and sordid story. My church built a new sanctuary and was told that it needed three phase for the air handlers. So out comes the power company (that my father worked for) to install the lines. They ran 2 miles of three phase 19.9kV at no small expense to the church. When the HVAC guys installed the systems, it turns out they didn't need three phase after all. Grrrrr.
At least when there's a storm and branches fall there's a chance that some houses will still have power if only a phase or two gets knocked out. On the downside I seem to have a lot of low voltage situations where (I imagine) power is being shunted thru some three phase equipment (a motor, perhaps), and back-feeding my phase. It's eerie to have electronic equipment growling at you from insufficient voltage. Thankfully my 20kW generator kicks in after 30 secs or so.
Huh??? I happen to know that the 3 phase lines in front of my house are 19,900 volts to either ground or phase-to-phase. How's that 'low-voltage stuff'?
125I decays emitting low-energy gamma radiation (the type that gets adsorbed adversely by living things). Eating this will have no different an affect than living right under it...
Not totally correct. 125I will be selectively absorbed by the thyroid gland which will experience a much higher effective dose than any other part of the body. Similarly, the isotopes of strontium (90Sr is the main culprit) are similar enough to calcium that the bones absorb them preferentially and receive a higher dose from it.
That sounds identical to the blister distribution with poison ivy. The poison in poison ivy is an oil, so if you wipe the sweat from your brow, the back of your neck, etc that's where you'll get the blisters. I'd look around very carefully to see if you have some growing in your yard among the 'other stuff' you were weeding.
Be careful - simple contact dermatitis can get worse with repeated exposure. You don't want a full-on case of anaphylaxis.
I have a Scottish Terrier that adores wild mushrooms - probably the toxic ones. He snuffles around leisurely eating them until my wife tells him not to, then he runs about gobbling them up before she can find them and pull them up from under the leaves.
Do you have things like poisonivy where you live? I'm not a doctor, but your symptoms sound like allergic contact dermatitis and not a typical systemic allergic reaction. I'm very sensitive to poison ivy toxin, and get really bad blisters from it.
So was it: 1) a protozoan that eats benign algae (a benign-algae-eating protozoan...) 2) a benign protozoan that eats algae (a benign, algae-eating protozoan...) 3) a benign algae that was observed eating a protozoan (a benign algae, eating protozoan,... [newspaper headline style])
If this is intended for Java String operations, the toIndex is one more than you'd expect. From the String.substring() javadocs, emphasis mine:
"public String substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex) Returns a new string that is a substring of this string. The substring begins at the specified beginIndex and extends to the character at index endIndex - 1. Thus the length of the substring is endIndex-beginIndex."
"few tonnes of iron in orbit is worth a fortune" no it isn't.
Yes, it is, if it stays in orbit.
"Dear Mr. <World_Leader>,
I have a large chunk of iron orbiting the planet, and it would be a real shame if it were to accidentally drop on your capitol city. How would you like to invest in a little insurance against that?"
The massive earthquake and tsunami that washed away nearly everything had nothing to do with "..services in the area suck at the moment...", I take it?
The truth is mother nature took aim at Japan and caused enormous hardship, some of which was due to the reactor, but mostly direct devastation.
FWIW, that bill concerns the day-after ABORTION bill, not the day before CONTRACEPTION pill. Big difference, at least in the minds of conservatives. It is your choice and your responsibility to avoid pregnancy by taking/using contraceptives; it is not your choice to kill the fetus after conception because you didn't choose to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
You should be aware of the contents of your hard drive though. If... they find the content... there, I can see you being held responsible.
So if I drop a baggie of heroin in your car's gas tank (or tuck it into in the grill, or stick a magnetic key hider in the wheel well, etc) when you're not looking and the drug dog 'indicates', you're ok with going to jail?

I read that as "The result of him doing so caused the number of mathematicians and their skulls to explode."
That shape is the B-52.
No, that shape is Chuck Norris. He just lets the B-52 have all the glory.
That's funny - the handful of anti-vaxxers I know are neo-hippie earth-children, not conservatives.
Not sure if you're whooshing the parent or not. I've seen these trucks out and about. So have you, I think.
