The herd thanks you.

The problem in the specific setting I encountered (though it was far from unique at that time in Scottish culture) was that Scouting did all that...

Sure, but I'm writing about Vonetta McGee!

The understanding I have--and bear in mind I didn't actually talk to the guy myself, though Graham thinks he's moving into a house a couple of blocks...

I'm very happy for you both!

Mind translating this please? :) Also the plan is for February 27 so I think the posted link may be outdated.

Thanks for the replies, folks. The chart that Grant linked is particularly interesting.

^^^ Before I retired from my lab work metric was always used 100% for the job at hand. My "homework" still revolved around the old school...

Very inspiring story. What does it mean to be a 'flight director' though? From what I read, she's an engineering team lead (robotic arm).

I think it’s a good question though. The Sahara is a good question. It’s a bit different from the others. You can drive a vehicle or helicopter...

We seem to have the habit of F for hot weather and C for cold. Oldies like me were raised in both because science was ergs, dynes, grams and...

^^^ Nyuk, I always mean Fahrenheit...and I'm still an inch, foot, yard, ounce, pound, pint, quart, etc. guy too ;0) Today it's a cold rain, way...

And to answer the OP the compressor is of course a set of aerofoils on a disc, they can stall if the flow is not compatible with the blade speed....

Yes even modern engines can surge at high load in, for example, air outside the acceptable working temperature and the compresser temporarily stalls,...

That's a failure mode of jet engines, called compressor surge. I think it was a common problem with early jet engines, but I haven't checked. In a...

Hmmm... I had assumed that the pressure created by the compressor was the max it could generate, and any additional pressure would cause a backup,...

I’m not sure, but I would guess intuitively that the compressor is powerful enough to stop that from happening.

I should probably add some context. There are four main ways of getting vaccinated around here. County Health Department, Hospital Systems,...

I have sympathy for people who like to gently ruffle the feathers of a certain target audience. Like the guy whose Porsche Cayenne wears the vanity...

I sit corrected - thanks

Well, I’ll gladly take all of your tickets, then...

I hope you mean Fahrenheit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, there are regular sun outages in Japan too. They seem to happen once a day, usually from about six in the evening. Sent from my iPhone...

If Biden selects Nelson as NASA Admin it'll set back the agency 10 years, minimum. He was one of those behind starting SLS as a jobs program, and...

Ok, I Google. Apparently thats actually a thing when the sun is in line with a geosynchronous satellite!

I just opened an email from my cable provider. It said we may experience some service interruptions due to "sun outages". And said it more than...
