Thanks for this - a reasoned, easy-to-grasp explanation of missions, without a lot of technical jargon.

It's this kind of writing that's needed (from any technical field) for those not in that field to understand it. I'm in IT, and work diligently to provide this kind of explanation to decision-makers. It's not easy, when in your head you see all the "but this" at the technical level. We have to sacrifice high-resolution detail to provide a "good enough" image for people to comprehend. Sometimes that means being "technically inaccurate" - which then gets unnecessarily criticised.

I wish magazines like Scientific American (which has seriously gone down hill) wrote like this more.

God I hate compressed file support in explorer.

I even disable zip support. Let me use my own app for that.

Water

Wait, no, electricity to run my fridge, convection oven and stove. 😁

Yea, from what I've read attractive folks hold our attention better, and attractive women do more so, for both men and women.

Something in the way we're wired.

And we already do this - every culture has a form, some more ingrained than others.

During WWII (and the Cold War), Allied analysts, spies and diplomats found learning Russian particularly difficult for just this reason.

Are the links you added from the article or some others you found?

What kind of douchebag do you have to be to behave like this?

How many languages do you speak perfectly?

OP's English is pretty damn good.

I think he's talking about with ARM-based systems things tend to be more monolithic.

I don't know that this is true, I haven't read enough about them.

will depend more on whether Ryobi kills off the USB Lithium line like they did the Tek4 line.

This is where learning how to rebuild your own batteries cones in. Nearly all of them use multiple 18650 batteries, which cost about $2 each online.

I've rebuilt a few for my power tools. Larger ones cost about $10-$15 to rebuild. And newer batteries have greater capacity too.

Sounds terribly mundane and over-used trope, then "accidental manslaughter". Hahahaha

Having worked in restaurants for years and been to multiple health and safety classes in multiple states, I call bullshit.

Washing chicken spreads bacteria all over everything wherever it's done: the walls, floor, ceiling. Do you sanitize the ceiling after you do this?
