I am one of those that you met ( I have spoke 11, 9 of them fluently at one time or another ) The problem is simple. Our map ( using the reference of 'map' from "stranger in a strange land' ) is much more confusing when communicating and some of us fight to use the correct map to convey a message. the solution is normally ( at least for me ) is to speak slowly, and tell the other party to ask more questions. It's not that I'm being an ass, I'm trying real hard to communicate correctly.
as a side note, communicating about family and friends is easy, communicating about anger get's confusing ( try cursing someone out, and I have to think in Italian, or Portuguese, or Russian because those languages really have the ability to covey disgust ). Another set of words is 'yes' and 'no'... those words are amazingly hard since my perspective shows degrees of 'yes' and 'no'.... the most annoying word in American English for me is 'like' when used for comparison.
The one advantage I might have over those that speak only 1, is that I can re-frame an idea under another 'map' and see a slightly different perspective, bring it back to my 'map' and add that benefit.
I would hope that my little write up might help you in the future when communicating with someone that speaks multiple languages.
While they can buy it for less time and money and effort... it's the ability to teach and do it. What's amazing about science and scientist is ( and the human race in general) , if they see it done, then they know they can repeat it.
Correct, your time frame of 10 to 20 years seems about right for metal material design firms to come up with something really strong that can come out of printer jet and make it into mass production.
Problem is... how does one profit legally, I've got to guess that the above example is protected somehow?
Since I don't have Mod points... I want to confirm you made your point with the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Axis of Awesome Four Chord Song.
More perfect ( and a good mix of laughter ) presentation of the point could not have been done. I did like the lady gaga song, I would have never guessed it was 4-cord
don't get it. he's in his legal right to point out to everyone that a) someone posted under a specific account a specific threat. b) everyone is everyone.
How extreme his actions are might be perceived as malicious, then the law would step in.
the action of the employer, schools and... are those parties actions. Which could spell more trouble for both sides.
It's a real tough question for me, I've stood my ground on my beliefs more than once and paid the pipers tune. And I've been in this guys shoes 2 times in my life. Both times I followed legal protocol and effectively destroyed the other side. both times I've lost friendships too. with that said, I've taught my daughters the value of your actions and words.
I am proud that they have decent manners and behaviors and some respect for others. Who knows maybe one day they will be great coders, scientist or speakers. and will fight with other based on facts with principles
funny that you mention them. I looked at their postings recently. I was happy that they took what I told them to heart. nothing outside the normal, he said this, she said that, my hair is not right.... nothing that is vulgar about others. rather proud
You asked : "Should these guys have their lives ruined over this?" That's a very fair question. and I've sat here for 20 minutes wondering if this was my daughter, what would I do.
Resolution, Justification... I grew up having to suffer from being stupid and speaking without thinking, that weight I still live with and forces me to think before speaking. While I don't like this type, IE: "internet justice", it just might be the only solution in this day and age. Before the internet, you just moved out town and started clean.
I've also read that some of these kids used a sexual type attack. That makes them fair game for using all the resources at ones disposal to stop them in any way. It does not matter if they are joking, kidding or fooling around.
Gosh I people were this tough when they speak about science and the way it's taught schools.
Sorry I've re-posted this because it's making me an AC.
Lately I've been getting hit with well crafted emails that would get most people. so I wrote a simple step by step for basic security for the average person.
I kept in mind that most people don't have spare cash, so I choose freeware and I've included the above product into the set up.
What I have enjoyed is most people have sent me emails saying thanks.
What I would like, if someone knows other products that could be used, for the average layperson.
it was about 80 comments until someone brought up the surveillance tool. And Yes, writing to your congressman is very smart, While most people think it's a waste of time, writing to them shows that people care about the actions.
What's gouda worth.... that's a good question so let's run some quick math just to see what it might be worth. I'll use a name that i owned for a while. first, it's a solid fun name, I happen also to have a fun and solid domain name that's 48000 visitors for year, of which I got about 9000 visitors to click google paid about 650.00 that level has been consistent for years. so 650 x 10 = low end is about 6500 I get offers all the time, best do far is about 18,000.00 gouda is much more fun sounding so it's got to be worth more I think it's fair to say that it's an easy 10,000
Your outlook is correct. good example if how the FAA is reaching outside of "rights" is. I have a london based firm, I launch from russia, and products produced in space are imported via south american landing zone. Really the FAA has some rights???
So some US corp starts mining on my moon dirt claim, Heavy Impact rail gun slug solves that issue since Colt has not produced a space pistol yet. ( if i'm mining, a 1 ton slug sent via the launcher should do the job, aiming might be difficult.
Are you talking about the Big Mike or cavendish? I was the last generation to enjoy them on a regular basis. I got to eat one again about 3 years ago, boy was it good. really banana tasting and it had a lot of seeds inside. yummy, that's banana cost me a fortune, was well worth it.
You are correct. most people have never really faced a real threat, and walking into a house where a "person with perceived hostile intent" is just about as insane as it can be.
if you did not grow up around violence, you might not understand what that cop is thinking, but I bet he's crapping in his pant's when he's got to use the foot instead of knock. like everyone, he just wants his shift to end and go home.
Extremely funny, but I bet, that small modification might happen that won't increase the weight issue too much. Lot's of nifty ideas floating around here.
A) Thanks for the photo. That explained a ton. B) In vessel design, some basic ratio's are used, and stability is important. The dimensions just don't add up to be any good if it's a barge, the roll and pitch just seem way out of line for such a box type shape. Pontoons on the otherhand, they overcome ( better word is reduce ) multiple stability problem.
so maybe it's a pontoon type platform, all I got is an overhead shot ( which I thank you for )
>> Why do you consider the ration 'bad'? IMHO the ratio does not matter at all, the barge only needs to be big enough to provide the landing space and what ever else they need on it.
Vessel stability on all 3 axis, I would guess that something like this needs a really good stable landing platform. It's not easy to keep a platform at the required location. I am going to take a guess that they tested everything to the extreem and this is what they came up with.
but the most likely size should have been near 1000 x 170, which now writing it, is super huge, just having a hard time picturing 170 feet in width. and the dimentions... here is a container ship that would be near the dimentions and I can see clearer now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
>>You do realize that planes fly all the time in the dark and in fog, right? Yes, I do and that's with humans at the stick, but the plane can land itself. on a stable platform ( runway ) that has know variables, big space, a performance design that have been tested and tested and updated almost to the point that it's automated, but at the end, a pilot is still required just in case. Landing and takeoffs are still the highest risk points of a flight.
But this landing, this is a tiny little speck, and it hit the mark! it's really a super amazing thing.
Now I'll give you a perspective that might help you understanding my views you are looking at current technology, seeing the future and mixing in rose colored glasses... It's not an insult, we expected wireless Dick Tracy watch's but they did not happen till the late 90's. I, myself bitch and complain about nanobot's not being injected into the human blood stream to remove bad blood cells ( I really expected that to happen by 2000, and I am still waiting ) and there is a ton more.
this happens to everyone, we mix the future with the current. It's not a bad thing at all, it just shows us what we desire as humans and what we can succeed at. Without this expectation, we would not be able to grow, Knowing that you expect it and if it had failed, someone out thier would be trying to solve it. It's in our nature ( or at least I think it is )
300 x 170 is a real bad ratio, it's going to be a sloppy ride. A good stable ratio is in the 30 x 5 x 3 ( L x W X H ). I got to assume he knows something or the barge design is amazingly special dry bulk cargo barges are about 195' x 35' ( which is near the 6 x 1 ratio ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I am rather amazed that more people are not posting to this. He's an amazing person that helped create some foundation in which we operate today.

what I was thinking was more like a non-recoil pistol, since I would be flung back unless I had my back up against a rock
reading this I was thinking ATARI cartridges have oxidizers ... then I laughed

He made a very good point, it's all about perspective.
With that said, does it not sound like India reading a page from the book "stranger in a strange land"
space shuttle was an amazing sound. I have no clue what the sound of a saturn V would sound like. but i bet I would like it
