Why doesn't my copy have that cover? Sigh. Those were the days.

How did the flap and, indeed, starship have enough control authority after the burn up during re-entry, to complete the soft landing?

The booster done good as well of course...

Flipping awesome outcome... Beers all around.

One thing other answers have missed is that some ssds encrypt data before writing and obviously after reading (this prevents a swap the storage controller type attack) A secure erase on such a device consists of changing the read/write key. Takes milliseconds. Irrevocable (unless you find a way to read previous contents of the key storage)

drawings do not exploit anyone.

Hmmm. I think you will find in many jurisdictions that they are treated as if they do.

Which is of course how BSE got going - only they were feeding sheep brains to cows... Seems the feed manufacturers never learn.

Is this Westminster just being Tory or is it Wales bashing?

I suspect that if you look at all (! There aren't many, if any, left) UK steel works they all have less spent on them by the Govt. than similar plant in other countries...

Temperature is not scalar

Messers Rankine, Kelvin and even Fahrenheit would beg to differ... Temperature is scalar, however it's effects on living things is generally not mostly owing to chemistry.

The claim that a 40° C jump in Sub-Zero temperatures is tolerable, but wouldn't be in the UK or whatever they're saying in this article... That's nonsense

Au contraire my dear fellow. For a human, the article is entirely correct. A rise of 40° C in a particularly cold place is indeed tolerable for a human. A similar rise in, say, the UK today would put the temperature at 52° C - hotter than Death Valley on a well above average day and considerably less tolerable.

Of course a single recorded rise in temperature isn't a good indication of climate...

I sit corrected.

I agree, it would be good to be able to browse all communities on an instance.

You can't - I think it's a lemmy/feature of federation thing.

Use the search function for communities, posts or whatever.

No one has seen Highlander 2 There can be only 1!

A clump.

Well I guess so, but they are still further left than the Starmfurher... Which is a plus.

So it begins. The defangng of Welsh Labour by the Westminster elite....

I am broadly in favour of independence, however not on the terms currently apparently promoted by Plaid - nationalism has limited use in the world today unless you are big enough and ugly enough to ignore what others might think.

Whatever the ultimate destiny of Wales, it won't be a success if we are lead by people blaming the current situation entirely on Westminster and refusing to engage with the larger nation next door.

There seems to be a tendency, here in the Valleys as well as in Wales at large, to abdicate "personal" responsibility - everything is someone else's problem (Westminster, local authority, police whoever can be conveniently blamed but never, ever, the locals or their actions) sadly, in the political arena, this plays right into the Tory playbook - they are masters of divide and conquer, having spent much of history doing just that.

The Welsh rosette is rather less blue than the English one... I remember when red and blue were distinct and different.

I suspect that many Welsh men who vote blue to get rid of "Dripford" would be horrified if their local authority were to go blue. Which is a distinct possibility if the anti-Tory vote is split.

So Plaid will team up with whom? Showing their true colours... Nice shade of blue that Ddraig goch!

That's what the National Savings Bank was... Shame it was privatised. Can't have the govt. making money!

Yup. The curse of the 'fair to middling'... Too well off for social benefits too poor to be able to ignore money...

Hi it's your long lost cousin Scratchy Bottom (dry valley west of lulworth cove) Our grandpa still lives in Shaggs (hamlet north of Lulworth) but grandma is in Shitterton (hamlet next to Bere Regis) ....

Yup.

Boing will only fix it when the cost of compo for px deaths and FAA penalties looks like exceeding the cost of recalling/fixing during scheduled maintenance for all the engines...
