We can’t even make radio waves that travel that far. Our best radio telescopes focused on something near that we suspect might have life don’t have enough power for us to think they can be received by an arbitrarily advanced civilization on the other end (assuming there is that happens to be listening when the signals arrive). And that is stars in our own subarm of the milky way.

Space is just bigger than you can imagine.

Sort of - but there is no reason to think we will ever be able to make something that won’t break. Even intersellar is questionable just because the odds of the ship breaking in the time needed are too high.

you can’t fathom it because you were raised that way. Different parents / society and you would call those normal and partake.

there have been too many through history to think it is anything else.

Fad. Someone started doing it, and it caught on so no everyone does. The iPod started the iEverything phase. A local car dealer near me uses NameTube.com because they decided they needed a website about the time youtube got a lot press. There are many more things over the years that became a fad for a while, and there will be more.

ML is run by people who are not only communist, but also communists can do no wrong, capitalists can do no right. Just being communist most of us could live with, but the second is a problem. When someone cannot agree things like genocides that various communist governments are a bad it is really hard to have productive conversations.

Arms and legs allowed in are still really bad. You can’t run fast in snow, and you are more likely to trip.

In some cases. However most often when there is a stack trace it is because something I didn’t expect happened - I can’t tell you how we got there or how to correct it because if I knew I would have just had the code do that in the first place. If the error is something the user did though I’d expect a clean error message.

Yes. My town was 5k people in 2000, 20k in 2020, and expected to be over 100k in 2030. Everyone is trying to get into the grab. People who move in are more likely to find a new bank, so the banks want to be here early to get the customers.

Gas stations are not something people are loyal to, but they still need to go in to support all the people moving into a car centric environment.

What broke? If it was a GNU ism that wouldn’t work on *BSD either, than it is your own stupid fault. There are other linux distros that also don’t use the gnu core utils that would break things do.

Note that those are minimums. The pilots I know try to be well above the minimums as a personal rule. Landing without fuel is something they practice in the simulator, not something they ever want to try in real world conditions.

Unions work depending on how ‘in it together’ you feel.

If you resent the people standing around doing nothing they start to fail. If you resent the people who do worse work than you for the same pay they start to fail. note that on an assembly line the above isn’t possible in the first place - which is why they work great there. (Bus drivers and police are also not really measureable like that)

that depends on the pilot. it doesn’t apply to bold pilots. There are bold pilots and old pilots - but no old and bold pilots.

In practice that is zero - you are not allowed to take off unless you have enough fuel to fly for an hour after landing. flying is safe in large part because of hard learned rules like this.

Ask my wife. I’ve followed dozens of direction, none work for me - I get the peel and half the egg white off. She manages to get a nice peel every time.

i don’t think it is genetic, but whatever it is nothing works.

From looking at history this seems confined to one generation - in 1950 the “ideal family” was a man going to work 9-5, and the women staying home to cook/clean. For a while it even worked out that way for a lot of people, but over the 1960s there was a culture revolution and women started working, while men learned to help. This process is continuing on.

Look longer over history though you see that in almost all cultures men would regularly get into situations where there were no women around to cook. Hunting, or working in the field all day often meant men and women were separated and so men had to cook for themselves if they were to eat. (women between 15 and 40 were regularly pregnant or nursing a baby - men cannot do these things, and they limit what a woman can do so some activities become men’s work.) Not to mention war which typically was mostly men, though “camp followers” did cook for the army in some cases.

Which is to say, maybe your Grandpa didn’t cook. However that men in his generation didn’t cook was an outlier. Over history men and women both cooked.

Huh? Who doesn’t know how to cook? It is easy and very common in mowt circles. I think you need to readjust your life if you think that is rare. eating out is not only expensive it is also unhealy most of the time.

That is out of date. Someone should look up the law in Iowa that just went into effect and update it. I’m too lazy to look up the required details.

Go to your small local “sales and service” place and ask them. Not all of them are good, but many are friendly, and they know what they get called to repair.

Though last time I asked they told me keep repairing the old ones - new ones are too water savings and won’t work as well.

Something bad about Bosch: if you need a repair almost no local shop will work on them. They use the cheap national chains for warranty work - the type that that try to band-aid over a problem until you give up and buy a new one.

Overall Bosch is reliable, but if you have problems they are not a good choice.

I had a few cousins who took and finished all my grandma’s unfinished quilts. They were already into quilting though. YMMV, but it is a good example - if there is someone who can understand/take this over give it to them.
