BTW, a highly disturbed sleep like he is describing is a common sign of burnout/depression/anxiety disorder. Do not ignore it! There are drugs and therapy, it is worth it. It is double worth it if you have the money to stay unemployed or have other ways of getting some extended rest, at least 3 months. BTW, there is even some chemical signalling pathway explanation for that connection. Or maybe it is hypothesized? IDK, it's above my knowledge level. But the correlation surely is real and strong.
The bio makes me think that it is, in fact, written by a machine:
> Perhaps you'll think my comments are unthinkable. My only response to that is that they were legibly written, not by a machine, but by a writer with a soul.
Oh I'm sure it's cleared enough around the various pipes and cables that lie on the bottom. But it's still a far cry from the entire bottom of the sea being safe.
Imagine if it was arabic (to keep the LNG prices up, which everyone in Europe is now buying from the middle east like crazy). That would surely stir some things up.
It was in "maintenance", as claimed by the Russian end operators. Germany has successfully pressured Canada to send a replacement turbine to Russia (violating sanctions), after which the Russians said that the turbine isn't any good, it's missing some documents and they will not take and install it. Then Scholz decided to take a photo shoot in front of the massive turbine, looking all sad. The Paper Chancellor in full glory :D
Fair point. I guess the difference is the lack of strategic alliances throughout the history with anyone in the area. There were tactical alliances, even with Iran somewhat recently (Operation Opera), but nothing long lasting and "solid". In other words, the environment has always been pretty hostile.
The most fascinating fact about the state of Israel is that it is in an on-again-off-again state of war for something like the last 4000 years. I cannot fathom how is it possible for neither sides to win, especially the broadly speaking Arab side. Now with the nuclear arsenal and the very competent military they'll most likely survive at least till the first nuclear war, whenever that happens.
This right there is the difficult part - what do you mean exactly? I cannot come up with anything better than search, as in like Google search. And they did it for books already, it's seriously good.
Meh. Energy cost has been plummeting ever since the steam engine came about. I cannot stress this enough, it has plummeted several orders of magnitude (versus for example gold). I prefer to use my ruler to stretch out the line on a log plot, naively. The only serious roadblock we've seen is CO2 emissions, but there's still probably a few decades before a serious crisis emerges.
There has been a lot of progress in cameras for smartphones, for very good reasons. And I mean a lot, see the physical design of a modern smartphone lens for example. I would guess that laptop cameras got hit with extra protection because they're "too close" to what's considered core intellectual property for a camera-maker. But it's just a guess really.
> Luckily, the Dotbot clearly identifies itself in the User-Agent header, and they have a working support email, so after a five month communication in a ticket I discovered the reason.
I laughed at the "five month", then realized it is actually impressive that OP got any response at all. What a time to be alive.
Defeatist attitude is completely expected if you're burned out/depressed. My suggestion is to treat the latter (lots of good advice in the thread) to get rid of the former, not the other way around. The other way around simply doesn't work.
With the successes of F-22/F-35, PAC/Patriot and HIMARS/M270 (each is an obvious top of the shelf product in its category) - is Lockheed now going after Boeing's professional flight simulator supremacy?
I am trying to learn about radio (and the electric and magnetic fields in general), and I'm following the Great Scott Gadgets' "Software Defined Radio with HackRF" video series. I'm also thinking about getting an amateur radio license. What else could you recommend?
