I studied chemistry in a non-English-speaking country and in situ was a known term. It means that a specific compound needed in a reaction is made in the same vessel as the synthesis continues, not separated and transferred to another flask. Example: reacting sodium with ethanol to produce sodium ethoxide followed by transesterification.

On site would in deed mean that something was prepared in the same laboratory or even the same fume cupboard.

You could consider donating server space and bandwidth to Openstreetmap projects. There's a wiki for OSM but it's quite confusing at times. Then there's Nominatim, the name search; it requires lots of computer resources. Open source routing from OSM data can be done with OSRM, which is quite fast.

Perhaps extracts of OSM data for downloading would be nice, eg. just roads, waters; see what's already available.

The theory is that there's a big (really big) store of comets in Oort's cloud on the far outskirts of the solar system. They have never been near to the Sun having been formed far from the centre. Once their movements are perturbed they may go towards the Sun.

It really may be the first pass ever.

I wouldn't have a problem if /. made the to-be-default interface, you know, default, as long as you can change it in your preferences to the old interface.

Fuck beta interface.
