Agreed. With no suit or any other thermal management tech, it’s going to be hard to survive anywhere just on thermal grounds alone.

However, let’s say you want to mitigate problems with sunburn and climb to a higher solar orbit. I haven’t calculated anything. But my intuition says you’re no longer getting enough heat input, and you will end up freeze dried. (The dried part is a vacuum effect we were told to ignore.)

As an earthling, you have evolved over the course of billions of years to deal with sunlight at a distance of one astronomical unit. That’s the distance of the earth’s orbit. That’s probably the most comfortable distance.

The Apollo moon missions used a so-called “barbecue” mode that rotated the capsules at three revolutions per hour. They did this during the 3-4 day coast phases to and from the moon. As far as I know this was able to mostly hold the interior temperatures in the “survivable” range.

that silence can not be used to make negative inferences against the accused

This is also protected by the 5th amendment, but in the United States it is usually a crime to lie to the police for any reason, or to destroy evidence with the aim to thwart an investigation.

This is pretty off topic, but in traditional newspaperology headlines the story writers have no say in the headline. Headline writing is a separate discipline with specialized headline writers, because you have to carefully count the character sizes to fit the headline into the space.

This traditional art changed on its head when headlines online were no longer constrained by the page layout.

The south would like to talk to you about our Lord and savior, biscuits and gravy.

The way I think about it is that the pasta stuff in the pasta water is doing the same thing as the flour in a roux or gravy or whatever.

To get a good sauce, you gotta have the flour/ pasta stuff and fat in the right ratio. And the water is just thinning things out.

There oughta be some kind of joke here about how England used to sentence prisoners to transportation.

As best as I can understand, some anonymous person in the early modern period, 1600s-1700s made up this idea that the ancient Romans did this funny salute. It’s an urban myth. There’s no evidence that real ancient Romans ever used this practice.

Anyhow, the idea floated around for a while; it shows up in paintings in the 1700s. It was picked up by several political movements in the early 20th century, including Bellamy in the United States, and Mussolini, who was a big Romaboo. The Nazis did get the idea from their Italian allies.

The German Nazis took the idea from their allies, the Italian fascists.

The United States was doing a similar thing with the Bellamy salute from the 1890s up until they weren’t buds with the Nazis any more.

There is art work going back to the 1700s depicting ancient Romans using the salute. Meanwhile, the idea has staying power: I recall that this salute appears in the 2005 HBO series Rome.

So it’s an urban legend among classicists that got picked up by several politicians in the early 20th century, and notably the Italian and German fascist movements.

“coherent graviton pulse” at least sounds like a gravitational wave laser gun, which would be pretty cool.

Ohio is midwest. It’s definitely not “east.” Nebraska and the like are great plains.

Rule 1 on .ml is “no racism.” In this post, it appears to be “racist” against Chinese. At least from some kind of a point of view.

McDonald’s is franchised to a whole bunch of individual owners in the United States. This is why you get such varying quality reports. Some franchisees are better at making the food tasty than others.

For example with French fries: to get good fries you have to keep the fryers at the right temperature, change the oil pretty regularly, and get the right amount of salt on the fries right when they come out. A bad franchisee will skimp on the oil changes, not fix the fryer thermostat, and he won’t care what the 16 year old does with the salt

One thing that McDonald’s is really good at with their franchise rules is food safety. It is quite rare for anyone to actually get food poisoning from McDonald’s. Probably rarer than many fine dining places where a lot more people touch your food, and they use a lot of manual cooking processes.

The ghost movement is not random. They go in memorizable patterns. So it is possible to simply rote memorize the solution to all 256 levels or something.

Backpage moderated some posts, sure. But what was the role of Salesforce here besides supplying a software package?

I think The Onion has been running this exact same headline for. Every. School. Shooting. For more than a decade at this point.

So what you really need in life is 5 monies. Got it.

Or the number of times someone can ditch all of the ship’s tracking systems, on a military vessel, just by leaving their badge somewhere.

One of my favorite fun facts: “Balance of Terror” was the original Star Trek episode to introduce Romulans, and the first to feature space combat against a near peer adversary.

The screenplay for that episode actually was for a submarine movie, and it got readapted.

Printer stopped working, or it got misaligned to the paper, and just the allergen message was cut off. Perhaps.
