I do not agree with the GP, but this is the usual reason.
If we are going to colonize a new planet at some point we will need to know how to get humans to this new planet. Practicing in earth orbit for how to keep humans alive and healthy in low || 0 G environments is useful science. About the only way i can see to test long term effects is to actually do the tests in a real low G environment with real people.
and both of those are officially defined as parts of the kelvin scale, afaik. You could also claim that Rankin would be better than Fahrenheit as well. I'm betting some can sense smaller changes than "normal" so lets use something sensible please. At least Celsius make sense, and I can reasonable check a Celsius thermometer in my home. Freeze some water, and measure the temp, should be near 0C. now boil some filtered tap water, should be near 100C.
Yes yes, I know that it will be very hard to tap water that boils at 100C, and freezes at 0C but i'd bet it close enough for you oven, and measuring the temp outside.
Take a recipe that uses 2 teaspoons, and serves 4 and scale it up to feed 32 (1/3 cup*). Then simplify the units to make it easy to actually make, and let me know the outcome... This is even worse for things like 1-1/2 teaspoons oil scaled up 8x (1/4 cup*).
I would much rather use metric there. It's simple to do unit conversions. 300mL * 8 = 2400mL or "2L + 400mL". Now this is much easier to use in your head while in a kitchen with something on the stove already.
As for your apparent hatred of "mililiters", you could try using the widely recognized short form, "mils". so "could i have a 400mil beer please?" or "I'd like 2.3Kilos of butter", or "53 liters of petrol". "how large is your large beer?... 450Mils sir".
*unit conversions per wolfram alpha, which did make this much easier but isn't seemly around when I am in the kitchen with hot things on the stove, and have fish juice all over my hands.
OOO i like the idea of adding UTC || GMT to airline/train schedules that would make my trips from MN to CA with a layover in CO much nicer... takeoff 8:45, land, 9:12. Depart 10:32 land 10:57... WTF!
I'd vote GMT over UTC, as I would hate to lose or gain a second mid flight and have something goofy happen.
So what if i decide to set my cars clock to read 2 seconds for every 1 standard second. Now i go out and drive 80feet/sec(~55MPH using std seconds), but now since my car uses "cynyr seconds" I still am driving 80 Feet/second, and within the law right? right?
so yes they do sort of tell me what time scales to use
Yes i realize that this isn't really the point the GP is making, but it is still a bit valid.
really how well does your "old hardware" like 480P h264 level 4.1 high profile video? I'm not really sure how you make use of a voodoo3 in a mythTV setup.
There is a bit of a difference between a hurricane and a tornado. Tornadoes tend to have very very strong updrafts in the middle, and this is what causes much of the damage. Even if you try to anchor the roof down to the building, you are talking a lot of force when it goes over your home. In both cases there is a lot of debris flying through the air.
Just to compare the EF and Category scales a bit. EF0 65-85 MPH, Cat1 74-94 Fairly similar, but go to the top of the scale, EF5 >200 MPH, and Cat 5 >155MPH, there is a bit of a difference there.
Earthen dome homes would survive the winds great, but no so much the flooding/storm surge.
I have a love hate relationship with microcenter. If I was building baige boxes, or even moderate [[full] || [mid]] tower rigs it would be great. or not looking for anything to out of the ordinary.
Things i have been unsuccessful at finding at microcenter:
1) a 6"-12" power cord with an IEC C13 conector on one end and a normal 3pin on the other. I ended up buying a 3 foot one and hacking the middle out of it. 2) a 6"-9" sata cable. These are hard to find just about anywhere though. 3) mini-itx anything; cases, motherboards, SFF PSUs, slimline optical drives. hardish to find but newegg and amazon both carry a small amount. 4) mini/micro-HDMI to DVI cable. Yes i could have used adaptors, but i thought it was silly to use 2-3 bits just to hook up my monitor. 5) Round Sata cables of any length.
Things that have gone very well, I'm now 4 laptops into my local store. All good no upselling, pushing or anything. Mention chrome and microsoft security essentials or linux and they just get the box for you.
So overall good, if what you are looking for is fairly mainstream.
you need to really measure the time it takes to go from "starting windows" to outlook open and overnight e-mails downloaded. I can't start anything until i see if something has cropped up overnight/over-weekend that needs my immediate attention.
there are a few root DNS servers located outside the US. The problem would be that the root servers would then be out of sink with each other. Not sure that it matters, maybe there is a way to keep a record around, but not send it to anything other than a root server.
No they were not forced to do this. They could have not purchased NBC/Universal. Clearly they decided the this condition was not bad enough to prevent the merger and that they could make more money even with it in place.
They were told by the government "we don't like you getting that big, and as such we fell that you will need to provide some good to the general population to offset the bad that the merger will cause. so it is mid 2000's broadband at near cost. without this condition we fell the american people will be unduly harmed by this merger."
Seems reasonable to me. The government is supposed to, after all, represent the people.
They are looking for something with a simple syntax and ease of use for non-programmers and something that they can automatically create when you click "record macro"
to full scale building energy analysis for the full year, all 8760 hours of it. one hour at a time. Anyways, use what works and what you know. You always seem to have half the time needed to do a proper job of it.
think custom functions for excel. Not every thing can be done there and writing a hole app just to do something that is already 99% doable in excel seems like a waste. Also in the HVAC engineering world, everyone has excel and everyone knows how to use it. where as almost no one knows C, C++, python,.Net, etc in that world.
Anyways, as for word documents, think a custom markup language, and a nice interface to select options in the document.
I never did find a scripting language in solidworks, not saying it isn't there. AutoLISP isn't great, but better than what I found in solid works. Also I never did master the "dynamic blocks" in solidworks.
Also autocad != solidworks, inventor ~= solidworks.
which as others have pointed out, works great until you count the speed penalty for turning. there is probably a faster route that has a bit of overlap, but makes the edges of the space a nice smooth path.

hmm those pesky maintained levees braking in unpredictable ways under lower loads than they have seen in the past...
ohh wait, you mean no one wanted to fund the fixing of a critical piece of infrastructure? So pay to maintain/fix shit and things will be much better.

find me autocad, solid works, inventor, and revit for linux and I'll switch today!
you could tell the PPM of contaminates in your oil by looking at the dipstick? well played sir!
As for the brakes I agree with you, and on disk brakes, they aren't even that hard to check.
you mean Goofy would have done all of this too???!!?!! you forget we do have a write in space.
I know some "normal" people that rooted simply to install adblock, and to delete bundled apps, and have no interest in not running stock.

Solidworks was nice for doing 3D stuff.

the AC forgot to turn that into a ubuntu style tip...
sudo cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sda
That should do it for the unbuntu people.
for the rest of every body, clearly this needs to run as root.
just slope it towards the neighbors house(s). Then the rain water isn't your problem.
since you seem to have goats, are they smart enough to use one of those automated milking machines? goat cheese would be worth the expense i think.
