I'm hoping someone better at math than me could answer this question: if we visited one of these exoplanets, if we landed and a person was to stand on the surface, would they be thrown off by the centrifugal forces from orbiting its sun that fast? would the difference in force between the sun side and dark side of the planet be noticeable when you're that close to the star?.

I've heard about exoplanets being habitable up close and very fast orbit around a cool star, and wondered about the forces you'd experience. I've read that on Earth you feel ~2N from centrifugal forces, but ~590N in the opposite direction from gravity.

Can you stand on this planet? ignoring radiation, atmosphere, temperature, etc, just based upon the forces on the body.

In Australia the rules are:
Under 10 days: Bank takes the money back immediately
Between 10 days and 7 months: Bank freezes money and gives you 10 days to prove it is yours.
After 7 months: You can be asked to return the money, but it is legally yours now.

Another complicating factor is that the period they measured to determine the water allocation, was the wettest period in hundreds of years.

"The new research also confirms that using stream gauge records alone may overestimate the average amount of water in the river because the last 100-year period was wetter than the average for the last five centuries..... The long-term perspective provided by tree-ring reconstructions points to a looming conflict between water demand and supply in the upper Colorado River basin," the researchers wrote in their report." https://news.arizona.edu/story...

It unreasonable because its their room, their house, their private space. As the court ruled, there is the expectation of privacy in your own home: "Mr. Ogletree's subjective expectation of privacy at issue is one that society views as reasonable and that lies at the core of the Fourth Amendment's protections against governmental intrusion," Calabrese wrote in the decision.

Has anyone actually tried any of them? I doubt I'm going to try any, I don't really need another source for games.

I would expect that too, but only if the hardware vendors are unable to lock the equipment remotely. I'd be surprise if ASML can't remotely access their EUV lithography machine and remove any software/firmware to make it entirely unusable.

I've been working from home about 12 years now, there is no chance I'm taking any job that requires me to be in the office. When I gave up my commute, I couldn't believe how much I got done in my personal life, all those hours in a car, were mine again.

Our company started unlimited time off and wfh this year as they have been unable to attract any young talent in the USA. All the college grads (mostly engineers) we try to recruit all want "unlimited time off".

The big part that makes our company different than most I've heard of, is that the managers are actually being evaluated on their teams actually taking time off. The expectation is that you should be taking more time off than you did over the last years. The main part that won everyone over, is not the "unlimited" part (managers still have to approve time off), but that you can easily take an afternoon off when the stress is too high, or you have an appointment, etc.. If I don't have any meetings after lunch on Friday, I wrap up early and start the weekend.

Apparently.

Until I saw your UID, I thought you were serious. You've been on /. long enough that I usually add my own /s, I just didn't at first...

Nothing new here. Its the same with Airlines. I don't think I've ever booked a non-refundable room for my own trips. For work yes, but thats their $$ not mine. For my own holidays, I always get tickets, rooms, cars, etc. that I can change. Far enough in advance, the price difference is usually not that much. Once my Mum came to visit me in the USA, and had problems with flights because she booked non-refundable ticket. It was only solved by me buying another day-of ticket for her :-(

For those unaware, never book a holiday with multiple flights, separately. Say your international flight arrives late and you miss the domestic flight to your final destination. If the tickets were bought separately, you now need a new ticket, as both airlines say the are "not responsible" for the situation as they didn't know about the other flight. If you book your flights together, then when the international leg is late, they are responsible to fix the connection issue because they knew you had the connection.

and don't rely on travel insurance!

Anytime I've been asked for any biometric data, I always respond with "no thank you" even when it makes no sense based upon what they just said. I've had Airlines, Hospitals and Hairdresser asking me to use biometrics to "make things easier".
How is facial recognition easier for boarding a plane than scanning a barcode as you walk onto the jetway?
Why would I give a hospital my palm print to identify me, when they still scan the barcode around my wrist?
wtf does my hairdresser need any biometrics ever?.

What I find most disturbing, is that when I object, they're confused by my response. So far no one has said it was mandatory. At the hairdresser, I saw many people arriving and being told about the biometrics and blindly gave it to them SMH

Didn't you RTFA? they claimed that because they scraped every photo they could from Facebook, its not racially biased AI... /sarcasm

I've got mild ADHD and I take a stimulant daily, and it calms me down and allows me to focus. For my friend with severe ADHD, several drugs that affect the central nervous system behave the opposite to him. Pseudoephedrine puts him to sleep, while diphenhydramine wakes him up.

the science behind this is pretty solid, from wiki: ADHD is now a well-validated clinical diagnosis in children and adults, and the debate in the scientific community mainly centers on how it is diagnosed and treated... Stimulant medications are the most effective pharmaceutical treatment.[23] They improve symptoms in 80% of people, although improvement is not sustained if medication is ceased..
