It's along the same lines as taking a tour of a prison to see the captives.
The state slammer at Canon City CO used to do that...you could go into a cell block and meet some inmates. More recently, the tour has been replaced by a museum.
My uncle George was a Rhodes scholar, and his scholarship class got the traditional honor of taking tea with the Queen (the one who was later the Queen Mum). All the other guys said "Your Majesty" or "Your Highness" every time, but George got it right thanks to his wealthy and equally regal Southern grandmother who was "Grandmother" first and then "Ma'am".
-The boat's own passive/active sonar is near-useless when the diesels are running.
-Waves washing over the snorkel "hat" close its induction valve and cause a suction hit on the crew's eardrums. Post-WW2 boats have a pressure buffer arrangement that mitigates this somewhat, but it still isn't a fun ride.
Blaming the USA, Korea (aka "South Korea") or Japan, etc is a near perfect pretence to escalation and who-knows-what aggressive action.
Aggressive actions are preceded by pretenses when the actor has some hope of maintaining relations with uninvolved parties, or at least giving them an excuse for not intervening. Far as I can see, nobody's going to be fooled, and NK's only motivation for not taking action is the prospect of retribution.
Here's a picture with better perspective: https://www.rt.com/news/313141... I suspect that protuberance with the windows is an enclosed bridge for conning the boat in cold weather, and not part of the pressure hull...diesel boats have to spend a lot of time running on the surface.
I liked the self-cleaning crappers in gas stations on the German/Austrian Autobahn. The seat is circular. As soon as you get up off it, the toilet flushes; a mechanical arm swings down with a sprayer and a brush; and the sprayer shpritzes and the brush spins while the seat rotates 360,
You have to drop one euro in a slot to get in, but it gives you a receipt that gets you your money back if you buy anything.
I remember when they sent a guy to Australia to report on the America's Cup. He got there well in advance, and wrote several preliminary columns to "educate" the readers in what sailing is all about. He began with an entire column's worth of rambling, incoherent explanation of the definitions of "port" and "starboard" -- and got it backwards.

Marge also used the same line to "correct" Lisa...

So, if Scalia had died in Feb 2015, it would have been proper to refuse to deliberate on a successor for two years?

Yes. You had one in 2012 and it's in effect until next January.
Ummm, you're aware that our atmosphere touches space, right?
Two more downsides to snorkeling:
-The boat's own passive/active sonar is near-useless when the diesels are running.
-Waves washing over the snorkel "hat" close its induction valve and cause a suction hit on the crew's eardrums. Post-WW2 boats have a pressure buffer arrangement that mitigates this somewhat, but it still isn't a fun ride.
Don't try to learn about math from news media.
I know what cis- means. What's a Tumblrite?
The moon-hoax believers must have taken over NASA.

With my blessing.
Trump will do away with that Second Law shit.
By all means, follow your heart. But please warn the bystanders first.
How do you think they drive cooling water into the reactor?
With a pump.
A turbine converts flow energy to mechanical energy by driving a shaft. A compressor/pump (whether it has rotating blades or not) does the reverse.
If the fluid is a gas, it's called a compressor; if liquid, it's called a pump.

Of course not. He salutes with one thumb, not all five digits.
Gasoline was $4.40 in 2008 and I just paid $1.65...what part don't you get?
They certainly didn't penalize your use of apostrophes...
No.
Your faith is an inspiration to us all. Kinda cute, actually.

Marvelous. When can I expect their check?
Maybe relativity will at last get somebody the Nobel...Einstein was screwed out of it.
