I remember submitting FORTRAN jobs that would spit out a string of page returns and watching the paper go several feet in the air. The guys in the white coats were not amused...
..and comfortable seats, and a floor that our feet don't stick to, and a liquor cabinet, and most important of all: if one of us thinks the movie sucks, they can go do something else without spoiling the other's experience.
Take a look at this picture: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tTab0Xt.... That "roof" was the upper half of the cylindrical fuselage skin, from the cabin floor up. The flight attendant was blown out by a multi-hundred-knot wind.
This. Judge doesn't know about past cases: minor deficiency in trivia knowledge. Boria's lawyer lets the judge get away with it: Professional incompetence.
Especially for me. Sorry about going a little offtopic, but I had a grad school classmate from NYC whose thesis project revolved around Be, and in his oral defense he couldn't stop pronouncing "beryllium ingots" as "balerium ignuts"...
I used to love buying tools from the backroom order desk at Sears. You could order anything in the catalog, usually for a little off in-store price, and pickup a few days later...and what you paid for was what you ordered, which might or might not be what you got. Orders were packed by people who, quite literally, didn't know a drill bit from a drill press. And of course, if the error went the wrong way, you could always return the item.
Ooo, yeah, let's see them do that right. Here's your spear, here's your rock...now you stand over here with the long spear. Plant the end right there...
Matter of fact, back during the GWB administration, my local supermarket had a WU advertising poster offering a discount rate on money transfers to Nigeria. Now we don't have any unusual concentration of Nigerian immigrants here -- most of the money transfers go to Mexico -- so the only visible motivation for this offer was to cash in on the Nigerian scam.
And knowing the intelligence level of the target market, the poster added that WU would give the customer less than the going currency exchange rate and keep the difference.
A common measure of the "size" of an orbit is the semimajor axis -- which is half the length of the ellipse. You can have an orbit with a semimajor axis intermediate between those of Earth and Venus that can intersect both of them at various times, if its eccentricity is big enough.
Every gravitational interaction between two bodies alters both their orbits, to a degree that depends on their relative masses and on how close the approach is. This one's orbit will almost certainly change significantly -- hell, even Earth's orbit will change, but by an amount too small to observe.

More recently, there was an x86 chip with a floating-point processor that was locked out in the low-price version.
My first PC came with a three-ring binder holding an assembly listing of the BIOS.
Ever had your DirecTV interrupted by a thunderstorm?
But climate change has nothing to do with religion
You underestimate Biblical literalists. All they have to do is count the Noachian flood as climate change, and quote Genesis 9:11.

Hire a monk to run the kitchen and call him the Fish Friar.
Perhaps he could give you some help with commas.

Steering a great big heavy vehicle, on little bitty tires, at high speed around a curve with snow or ice on it...I'd buy a ticket to watch that.

When you've worked in a bullpen, the open office looks like heaven.
My grad school had an intramural football team called Euler's Oilers...
what's the difference between three significant digits and 25
Ummm...one is for blacksmiths and one is for astronauts?

The poster came down in 2008.
